I'm glad you enjoyed so much Golden Tiger past season, wish you find a good one also in this new pack.
Thanks for sharing your Zamaldelica at 35 days of flowering, looks very promising in early flowering!
Hi Terpene,
You made a very good point, i enjoyed a lot in my younger days this type of scary/trippy sativas like the Zamaldelica trippy phenos, but lately i enjoy much more the refined, uplifting, clean and positive sativa effects, that makes me feel better, kinder, more connected with reality, more creative, smiley, active .... guess i'm getting old
That's why i'm breeding Zamaldelica lately towards this more friendly effects (and other desirable traits i consider important).
But i understand some people seek these type of scary trippy effects, especially old smokers that had these kind of experiences with weed from good imported sativas, like the best old mexicans and thais from decades ago .... nowadays these kind of effects are very rare to find, that's why i reproduce them too, i never like to lose interesting diversity from previous lines so i can retake again this old lines or traits in case i want to use them in the future.... but i have my mind clear of how i want to continue Zamaldelica's breeding, and i will follow my preferences and personal taste.
Maybe is worth to release a Zamaldelica Breeders Pack so growers can access to all the good different phenos this strain has to offer.

Welcome Gizmo,
I have tried to avoid as much as possible in the latest Zamaldelica generations the auto flowering and hermie tendencies that the original Zamaldelica standard release had.
Hi Gizmo,
In the latest reproduction just a few months ago, selecting from the old and first Zamaldelica standard seeds (released/gifted in 2009) we found around a rate of 10 % of hermies/autoflowering plants, they were all avoided, for breeding or for seed production. It's impossible to guarantee a 100 % hermie free offspring in the first generation making straight cross between Zamal and other tropical sativas.
That's why Zamaldelica had to refined for more generations.
Fortunately we haven't heard any report about hermie issues in Zamaldelica in the latest generations, at least in the last 4 years.

Hi Shooters,
Which Zamaldelica version are you growing (standard or feminized, packing date) ?
Try to provide plenty of light intensity, good levels of Nitrogen and enough space for the roots to avoid any autoflowering tendency in your mother plants. Sometimes, if the plant is too much rootbound it is worth to take a new clone coming from the healthiest, lesser flowered tops and replace the mother/father.
5 minutes ago I put 4 Zamaldelica s1 to germinate. I plan to grow them in pots, and if I get lucky, maybe put them in soil

Hello Dubi, thank you very much for your answer, your zamaldelica new generation interest me a lot as i love sativas with energetic effects and uplifting positive active high, i prefer to be happy than scary too, i remember a decade ago i bought a bag of hawaiian snow in amsterdam at greenhouse coffeeshop and the effect were not very nice, very strong but it gives anxiety effect and a real catpiss aroma i hated, on the other side i had a very nice bag of nevils haze at the coffeeshop 420 de kuil and the effect were very uplifting and clear without anxiety.
its good to hear that you improved the zamaldelica in the new generation, 10% hermies and auto was ok i feel and you sell your strain at a fair price in my opinion so the new generation looks even better than the original. i read you selected the new generation with mango/mandarine/floral aromas and it sound delicious. im a fan of haze strains and i can imagine how much a cross of your zamal mandarine/mango phenotype will be good crossed to mango haze , nevils haze or mango biche.
i hope to grow your zamaldelica new generation one day.

Thanks Dubi, it was your first standard release that I got through the single seed centre, I got a 10 pack and they sent two extras, I have #08 in flower now with #06 male clone waiting to open pollinate five good candidates including the lionheart x zamaldelica cross that I'm working.
I'll take some fresh clones of #08 before I let him become a daddy again. It is amazing what your Zamaldelica has done for the lionheart, really has intensified every aspect of the plants own genetics as well as impart some delicious phenos. Plus the plant is huge!!!
Yeah Shooters, looks definately like the first Zamaldelica standard version/release.
You are doing a real real nice work with her
Crosses coming from first generation super sativa hybrids as parental plants will always add tons of vigour in other hybrids. I'm glad she is helping with your lionheart's breeding/hybrid.
For what kind of traits did you select your Zamaldelica mother, and how does she contribute to the hybrid ? Which are your the breeding goals for the Zamaldelica x Lioheart hybrids?
Thank you very much for sharing your beautiful outdoor plants.

Zamaldelica elite mother grown organically from clone almost finished on 18th October, really happy
Maybe needs 7-10 day more to finish more properly, some branches can be harvested in different momentns, depending on the maturation ...
The flower in the second pic is already quite matured, the third one still needs a while.

I find that every pheno seems extremely strong. I'm growing the new version presently and will soon pop a trippy older version. Best of both worlds.Hi Terpene,

G'Day Dubi,
That 'scarydelica' generation sounds awesome as does the latest generation. A breeders pack sounds fantastic and I hope you keep these breeders packs going. I've got Kali Mist flowering at the moment (2nd run at it) and have Panama and Tikal beans ready to pop but those Zamal/Thai dominant plants could change my plans.
In the past, most herb would give me a scary effect with a digging up in my conscience of any thing I'd done wrong or out of line with my values. I found it very valuable and spiritually therapeutic (a psychedelic therapy). Such effects are greatly diminished now as I have a tolerance from regular medical use. I'm hoping some of the more psychedelic offerings from ACE might be my ticket.
I will email you as I can't do PM's yet.
Cheers,
Boss Cocky

hello cheton, very nice looking plants, im sorry you had no luck with your 5 seeds, could you tell us if your seeds were from the new generation or the original release please ? 5 seeds is a bit low number of seeds to begin with i think and i read the original Zamaldelica release plants dont like to be rootbound at all, your plants looks like to be in 10 liters pots, am i right ? i have read only good report about the malawi dont be afraid to try it i think.
