Malawi Feminised

[Tangwena]

Hi 190 only tried once before with a Thai Tanic from flying dutchman, went easily and tripled initial harvest after vedging for 3 weeks and 14 weeks flower. The Malawi is also showing signs of regeneration I think sativas are easy to revege if you keep the roots healthy up to harvest time, they respond well. In my limited experience, but I am confident this Malawi will take, as I cloned a bud at 12 weeks and it is growing nicely that late in flower it is a good sign I reckon.

reveging malawi

Hi Trucker as promised, the pics show the whole plant after harvest, and regrowth starting from old popcorn bud site.
Plus a popcorn bud I took in week 12 and put cloning gell on that has taken and has strong regrowth starting.
In my opinion as long as you keep the roots healthy it will reveg no worries.
When flushing in the final weeks I do not feed nutes but keep the cannazyme and rhyzotonic up to keep the roots healthy. Then reveg is not a problem. The plant can double or triple the original harvest because it has strong roots from day one.

Looks nice but the bathroom floor is not the most appealing place for a photo shoot!

 

[Tangwena]

I see you noticed my drip tray. No need to remove plants for flushing it all drains away.

Im glad to know she is re vegging again Tangwena. Tropical sativas are much easier to re veg than indicas or fast flowering hybrids.

The use of Cannazyne and Rhizotonic will really help to clean the salts, dead roots and to promote new root growth. Apply intense light and high photoperiod (18/6) and once you have healthy parts of plant revegging vigorously, then cut the rest of the plants with past flowers, it will help the plant to focus all the energy in the growth of the new stems, the old flowers would only confusing hormonally the plant and are wasting energy at this moment.

Hope it helps! dubi

Hi Dubi she wants to go again for sure, thanks for the tips. I am sure the second time round I will get her to become stronger than before, cant wait to try your golden tiger and zamaldelica as well. So much to grow, so little time.

Thanks to you Tangwena, i'm looking forward to hear your opinion of the malawi you just finished, i'm very curious about the traditional malawi cobs curing you are doing.

 

[Tangwena]

Hi Dubi I have tried a cob I made of the 12 week flowering, its a bit early yet but the color of the compressed buds has turned a lovely orange and deep red color, cobbing speeds up the cure as it decomposes the chlorophyl quicker as it nearly composts the heads and sweats while curing. The smoke is so mild I do not cough and have a sore throat like when its just air dried.
Very pleasant taste, very sweat. The high is mild but that could have been affected by so many factors, novice grower, picking early ect.
I will be very interested in the cobs I made of the 14 week heads when they are ready.
The main thing is the taste is 100% Malawi, as it stands now I would rate the 12 week buds this early at 3 out of 10 compared to the power of the best Malawi I had in Malawi.
I dont think this pheno will ever get powerful enough to give me visual tripping.
But I will try outside as our winter temps are perfect for growing. I have Zamaldelica clones as well as Malawi clones ready to plant out.
This is the best Malawi I have grown in Aussie and I will try to increase the power by every means I have as the plant is excellent with high yields and after curing in cobs an excellent taste and smoke.
I have been reading the golden tiger threads and cant wait to try those as well. I am tired of the skunk stoned feeling it goes nowhere, your sativas I am sure will hit the mark if I try hard enough.
I am glad I tried your Malawi and cant wait to get more into the regular malawi phenos to try and find what I am looking for.
Thanks for your interest and accept my thanks for keeping it real in a world of average plants.

cob cured malawi

These are some pics of 6 week cob cured and jar cured buds
The red/orange color comes from the sweating during the cure.
Whereas the jar cured still has a green orange color.
The jar cured smoke is still a little harsh.
The cob is sweat, sticky and smooth as silk. 2 or 3 drags and you are off. Much much stronger than the jar cured or the sweat cured buds.

 

[sdd420]

Looks great can you tell me how to make those cobs somehow they condense and sweat right? How long does this take vs jar cure thanks sdd

 

[Tangwena]

Hi sdd I explain it on my post in Landraces its called Ace Malawi its a bit long winded to rewrite it here. The cob sweating process has the cure done in 4 to 6 weeks and just gets better after that, I need 6 months to jar cure the buds to nice smoking. But they are never as powerful or smooth as the cobs. Once you try you will never except less.

I too will be going to Your landrace thread.

This looks interesting. Is this an African method, or Australian method?


Peace; 1TT

 

[Tangwena]

Hi guys this is a traditional African method except that I dont bury them as the villagers do I use a vacuum sealed plastic bag so I can see that it doesn't go mouldy. Some time when I bought cobs in Malawi they were mouldy. In the ground you cant control the sweat as well as you can above ground.
There where basicaly 2 kinds of cob, air died buds that where then wrapped up as they were, and the buried sweated cured cobs always hard and solid. They were my favorite.
I have been doing it for 30 years since I came to Aussie. Practice makes perfect, but once you get it right you will always want to do it this way.

Hi Tangwena,Very interesting method.
50% of my previous harvest I've pressed into syringes 10 and 20 ml.
Closed them without access of air and they can be stored anywhere,(I left them on the balcony)... 3 and 5 years, and without any loss in quality, i guess much longer.This proved easier to cure 500gr+, requires much less space and no needs the cans
And i found syringes cure much better the quality is higher than jar cured.

 

[Tangwena]

Hi bwoyrude I cant comment on your syringe method, but you would know if it worked, sounds like it did.
The cob sweating seems to change the make up of the buds and amalgamates them into a solid tube of cannabis, you cant tell one bud from one another. It smells sweet, and tastes smooth as silk. The hit is very strong from each drag, concentrated.

Very interesting Tangwena, the 3rd and 4th pic looks like malawi chorizo ehhehehehe
I should try by myself this drying and curing process as i have never experienced imported malawi cobs.

I'm glad it has been your best malawi flowers outside Malawi land and that you recognize her original taste and aroma, i'm sure the potency will improve with a bit more of time and probably selecting from more females. I'm also interested to hear your opinion about Zamaldelica since you are looking for the trippy african type.

Thank you very much for share it!
