Yea Its Malawi...one my Plant had first wide leaves , after 4months of sun load seems more Like Pure sativa already in grow stage
Wow, it's funny how much two weeks can change things.
I've been having successes and teaching moments this year. Really, that's a politically correct way of saying I've been screwing up. I'll get to this later.
Zamaldelica #1
Teaching moment.
Beautiful plant... horribly rootbound. She's in less than 20 gal. Ph swings have been happening regularly, even though no salts.
Too much drying of the soil between wetting, me thinks.

Zamaldelica #2, semi-auto
I based most of my project this year around these zamaldelica. Here's the success. I've found a semi-auto based on rootbinding. Another teaching moment though. Rootbound semi-auto isn't a guarantee and all the other plants certainly aren't enjoying being rootbound. This lovely lady has been flowering for the better part of 3 weeks. No smells unless I rub in.

Here is an updated photo. She is flowering fast! 3
weeks out from 12/12/
Hi BenoitV1984,
Yes, you can force your Zamaldelicas to flower with a 12/12 photoperiod during summer time until autumn equinox when the outdoors photoperiod will be naturally 12/12 again, but you must be constant to do it daily, otherwise she will reveg.
If you are constant doing it you will be able to finish Zamaldelica at your latitude, even starting doing it now in August.
Try to match your forced indoor photoperiods with the outdoor photoperiod at autumn equinox, so when you finally leave the plant outdoors to complete her flowering she won't be confused.
Hi musigny23,
Glad you were one of the few that had the chance to try the best imported Thai Sticks from early 80s.
The difficulty of getting the best from tropical sativas genetics in colder climates far from the equator is that these kind of tropical sativas need at least for 4 months of flowering in proper conditions. That is: constant warm temps and strong light intensity through the whole flowering, which is difficult to achieve once the conditions of the colder autumn months in latitudes far from the equator start to come. If you can't provide these conditions then your homegrown tropical sativas won't have the chance to develop all their potential and therefore their finished product won't be of the same quality compared with the same genetics grown in a tropical/subtropical or mediterranean climate with warm temps, or vs the imported fine thais you are referring to.
We at ACE have made big breeding efforts to tame and bring down the flowering times of tropical sativa strains like Zamaldelica, Malawi and Golden Tiger, so their flowering time rarely go further than 3 months (most of the times between 2-3 months) so they are much easier to finish them with great potential in colder climates far from the equator, compared with extreme tropical sativas like Oldtimer 's Haze or pure Thais, which remain untamed.
Thai sativas and northern Laotian sativas are quite different, the Thais usually belong to the classic green SE asian sativa phenotype and most of the times need 4-5 months of proper flowering, while the northern laotians ripe faster, (usually in 4 months) and can handle better colder temps, maturing with purple colors at the end of flowering.
The different Zamaldelica phenos have been explained many times in this thread. Thai leaning Zamaldelica phenos (more frequent in the regular lines) have a lankier columnar structure, with stronger stretching in early flowering than the rest of the phenos, usually finishing with reddish colors with outdoor cold temps and providing a very electric and nervous psychoactivity, with woodier terpenes.
Zamal and Malawi leaning Zamaldelica phenos are easier to finish in colder climates far from the equator, and yet be able to achieve most of their psychoactive and terpene potential.
Hope it helps. dubi
Hi Sativamane,
Glad you have the chance to flower your Zamaldelica until the end
and still be able to get a high yield in your micro grow.
Please, let us know your opinion about her after a good drying and curing process. Thanks for share it.
Hi Bona Fortuna,
Your are correct identifying your 2 Zamadelica phenos, the first one is clearly a very Thai dominant pheno. Thai dominant phenos have very little smell, even in flowering, the terpenes of its finished products is woody, slighty floral and incensey, but never super stinky like most modern afghani commercial hybrids do.
The second plant, the semi autoflowering pheno, has crearly stronger pure Zamal influence, should finish 2-3 weeks earlier than the Thai pheno and should develop fruitier terpenes, with a kinder and more 'rounded' sativa psychoactivity from Zamal A mother.
Best wishes for the rest of the flowering
Hi jus'plain'gill,
Congrats on your Congo, Bangi Haze harvest!
That's a really structurally crazy Malawi pheno, the flowers have the density, big ovaries and huge trichomes from our Malawi line, but her structure and flower distribution is much more irregular. Really interesting, wish she delivers a finished product of your taste. Please, keep us updated!
Lovely Zamal/Thai phenos baduy
Guess she is loving the intense sun and to be planted directly in soil.
Thanks for share it and please keep us updated with her progresses when you have the chance.
Here I am about a week after first seeing pistol, the thing is a beast.
I love it!

Glad to see she is a female gr8fulguitr
Best wishes with her!
Hi LostTribe
Congrats on your Zamaldelica harvest too! If she is super stinky and smells like mango, carrot and sweet then is most probably an offspring coming from Zamaldelica elite mother.
Enjoy her along with the Granny Haze
Hi Lincoln2018,
Glad your Zamaldelica is reacting fast after switch her to flower, she is most probably a compact and fast pheno, very suitable for small indoor tents like yours. Best wishes for the rest of the flowering!
Hi Consolidated,
Yes, the first 2 are without any doubt Malawi phenos , at least structurally. The male is indeed a Zamal/Thai pheno.
Hope you have fun with them
Here is her top branch two weeks ago, she doing good, a little struggling with the extreme heat these days, but they all doLovely Zamal/Thai phenos baduy

Hi Dubi,
By the time of the equinox, she will be almost done indoor, so not really worth it I guess.
Cheers,
Ben

Hey Dubi,
These two malawi are just ending their third week in flower. They are a little different. Can you ID their phenos? Thank you.
