I had one that I chopped two weeks ago. I got 2.5 z's dry. I have about 3 lbs on hand for smoking. Believe me, it gets better with two month cure.
My friends are hooked on Zami.
Got about a dozen Malawi's in various stages. Have not smoked it yet. But I will.
Beautiful plants, frients! It's been about ten weeks since I harvested my Zam so I thought I'd post a follow-up.
The scents have matured over the last few months -there is still fruity scent, but there is a large funk that is also quite prominent. The tropical/red fruit is the more prominent though. Sorry I can't be more descriptive. Sweet and sour? Not quite chemical, but not a fruit I'm familiar with. I've never had fresh mango though. Smells great, imo.
The effects are clear sativa, trippy thoughts -philosophical or other, not visual- but not racy, in my opinion. My wife is sensitive to that, but she doesn't feel any while microdosing when I vape it. It can cause some chest shaking/quivering in high doses. A friend commented that it caused some stomach sensations/contractions. This is the first comment I've received of that. Most people agree that it's somewhat chill, even while all of the above it true at the same time. My wife and I have both experienced effects in our legs. It's not an indica body effect, very different, but several folks have needed to just sit down afterwards
Overall, I'm quite pleased! For me, this is great flower to share with a friend on an evening -not too late. Usually impresses. I use a bit in the mornings, but I prefer Bangi Haze, just out until my next harvest is ready. I don't find that I want to get up and be energetic on this Zam, but it's clear enough for me that I can think and work. I haven't been out camping or to the woods much since harvest because corona, but I have gotten out of the city the last few weekends for a few hours. Each time, the Zam gave me a nice clarity to enjoy the sun and the day.
Dry and cured weight came to 131 grams of upper flowers and half as much of untrimmed lower, more airy flowers. I had her almost lollipopped in a 2'x2' for around twelve weeks. I think if I run a clone (already shared one with a friend) of her, I'd like to let her ripen further before harvest. I'm not keen on staggered harvests because my environment is so dry much of the year, but perhaps I'll try it to compare effects, if I can time it right. I'm also interested in running more from seed at some point.
