Malawi x PCK
- Thread starter dubi
- Start date
Thanks @Kustom_ax !! Yes they are under LEDs with T5HOs in the corners to add extra Red. Base lamp here is the Hortilux 240-R; the T5s are 2' long and peak at 630 and 660.

Seems I got 3 different phenos with the 3 ladies in my pack
I can't tell the individual aromas but the tent reeks of ripe fruit/berries
All 3 seem to have some degree of crimson/purple in the buds. Left rear is lankier with color. Right rear is stocky with fatter buds and more brown while the front one has good color and shape but not as well hung as right rear.
I have clones from all 3 and somewhere in amongst them are a few seeded buds....hopefully. Might keep this strain going if the smoke is popular with the family

Looking good there as usual
Can I ask what you look for on this strain for best time to harvest?
Thanks @StickyBandit !! Yours have been looking Amazing.
The faster finishing phenos can come down anytime between week 7-9. I prefer to chop these right after the Calyxes swell and final resin stack occurs at 9 weeks or so. For the Malawi leaning phenos it's more like 9-11 with an occasional longer flowering holdout.
Seeing yours makes me want to Sprout another pack or 2.

@FletchF.Fletch my buds look a bit skinny compared to your chunky beasts
Colors are starting to come through a bit more and I can see a seed peeking out in the first pic close-up
They look like quality buds and I'm seriously thinking about keeping this strain going. I like the aroma and all accounts from others are positive
I wonder how long to harvest

Wanna bite right in. 
Finally I've got something to show. Nothing impressive, but the ball's rollin'!
All are at day 14 of flower (11/13). This a "quick" trial run of the clones.
This tent also has a two sour diesels (sowah), and 3 tiger bomb S1 clones going xD crowded up in this b*tch.
Will report back when things get more interesting (>day 50).
So, I actually gave out a few of my malawi x pck feminized seeds out to a friend while I was busy with other things - it ended up being a mutually beneficial deal.
He got free seeds, and I got 3 different clones - E, K, and F - all Sativa dominant in structure. I had the pleasure to already see those cuts flowering.
I only had space for two of them, I ended up bringing E & F. Kinda wanted K instead of E, but I would've had to wait xD
The following characteristics derive from plants grown indoor under HPS - the plants you see in the pictures below are indoors under LEDs - Same clones though.
E - the smallest yielding of the three, mediocre resin coverage, yet same large stretch, shortest flowering (9w), all green, and an intense sweet bubblegum, with cedar wood in the back end. Mouth watering actually, and reminded me of my early teen days in Amsterdam xD
K - large yielder, impressive resin coverage, compact chunky nugs with slight fox-tailing, all green, flowering around 10/11 weeks, intense cedar wood with a sharp spicy "je ne sais quoui" haha - Can quite put my finger on it yet.
F - largest yielder, impressive resin coverage, looser and fox-tailing purple buds (not pink, not super dark purple), longest flowering time (11/12 weeks), intense red forrest fruit pakistan terps with an acrid, fermenty background, like a chemD almost, but no lemon. Also zero bubblegum, or cedar wood, complete 180 degrees from the other two in terms of smells.
Without further ado,
E
F
And one lonely male I popped from seed ! He's totally green so far, but stem rub, leafs, and stretch, resembles more a pck.

Opened the tent tonight and one of the ladies (the chunky pheno) has had a fall
I think they might be about ready. Maybe chop tomorrow. They feel pretty fat and sticky and I have many more clones of the 3 phenos ready to go in
Looks like there's no clear trichomes left and they're getting some nice color now. Plenty of amber on the small leaves

I just finished hacking them down. Looks like I'll get about 250gm (8 or 9 ozs) from the 3 plants dry.
Stems aren't that strong so I probably should have used the scrog that was hanging just above them the whole time
The more brown looking, chunky pheno that fell over smelt strong of forest berries, as did the smaller more purple pheno at the front. The taller, sativa looking, purple pheno with greater node spacings at the left rear had almost no berry smell at all but had a slight lemon smell.
Stickiest of them all was the right, rear, browner plant with the strong berry smell
I think I'll start cobbing 1 or 2 of the top buds from each plant harvested from now on

They look amazing, good job! These were all soil right?I just finished hacking them down. Looks like I'll get about 250gm (8 or 9 ozs) from the 3 plants dry.

Yeah mate. Used/depleted soil mix that was a mix of coco, perlite and compost and then fed bottle nutes this grow, with cal/mag and 0,11,10 mix added for the last month or so
They seemed to enjoy a strong EC of about 2.0 most of the grow
They actually yellowed off a bit since that pic was taken. It was more for pheno identification
Looking great @StickyBandit and @Kustom_ax !!!
Purple with seeds is best.
I had malawi x pck pollen on hand so I pollinated a few sites on both phenos. The purple pheno is throwing some monster seedsPurple with seeds is best.

Finished up with 10oz dry bud + the few buds that were cobbedI just finished hacking them down. Looks like I'll get about 250gm (8 or 9 ozs) from the 3 plants dry.

The taller plant has no fruit smell at all while the other 2 have quite strong forest berries aroma. Once the chlorophyll smell is cleaned up I'm sure they will have quite complex aromas judging from the hints so far. Initial impatient testing is good for strength and effect
In the meantime I will be working on a completely organic run of the 8 clones from the 3 phenos. I need to practice my organics skills (or lack of) on these very forgiving, easy to grow ladies before moving on to some more challenging sativa and haze strains
