Well I have to grow that.

See that you do! lol.

The Zamaldelica practically grows itself. Cuttings root
quickly, veg plants easy to train, branch like crazy.

Also yield is pretty uniform, buds are medium density. I
flower under 150w and get great quality, 22-26 grams
per 32 ounce pots with Coco hempy, Maxibloom every
feed.

Finishes 110 days for me, with 2-3 weeks veg/training.

I always explain to guys who are hitting it the first time to
smoke it lightly.

I plan on ordering three strains: malawi, golden tiger, and zamaldelica.

I'm sure any given plant will be good, but how many seeds do you guys think I'd need of each to find a truly stand out keeper?

Welcome dboi87,

It's our goal, that despite the variability within a seed pack, you will find at least a very nice individual for your needs and taste. Of course, the bigger the population to choose from the better.

A keeper malawi in my opinion is a very vigorous, high yielding sativa with big, super resinous flowers of huge trichomes and glue evil resins. High must be super intense and long lasting (4-5 hours). This is the killer malawi pheno. Size or aromas were not so important when i initially did the malawi breeding in seed form although you can also find very compact, early flowering and very good tasting phenos (strawberry/sweet carrots) that could be interesting for other persons or other breeding goals, but for me the killer pheno previously described is the strongest and more interesting. After all, the main breeding goal with this strains was to reproduce the extreme potency and resin production of the malawi killer mum in seed form and not to produce a tasty strain of average potency.

You will easily find very good females in the Golden Tiger feminized version available for the past 1-2 years. It has incredible vigor, branches full of flowers like columns, the malawi resin production but with a refined thai aroma (thanks to the Koh Chang Thai influence of the Double Thai mother of this GT version).

Potency is on a par to the malawi killer but the aromas are much better and the effect is even more trippy.

My favourite Zamaldelica pheno (as described previously in Zamaldelica thread a few times) has a strong and delicious aroma: mango, mandarine and sweet carrots. The effect is incredible clean (both phisically and mentally) that makes you feel levitate, very motivating and high quality effect that is very difficult to find nowadays in commercial strains, and a good Zamaldelica really provides it easily.

Hope it helps! dubi - ACE Seeds -

I think the goal and holy grail is something malawi killer looking/stable/yielding, but with a zamal trippy high : ) but this is even for Ace hard work. but if you read here a lot info about these strains, you will have an perfect idea what do you want, Im sure

Hi smallgardener,

It's true, Zamaldelica doesn't produce so resinous and oily flowers like a good Malawi or Golden Tiger but the effect is much cleaner.

We have pollinated the Zamaldelica elite standard mum (best aromas from the line and 27 % THC) with malawi males ;) Seeds have already been harvested and drying as we speak. I would also like explore Zamaldelica elite x best Golden Tiger feminized females reversed, this type of crosses have the potential to reach what you described, or Zamaldelica x Panama for example.

Hi Dropped Cat,

Your Zamaldelica bud looks yummy :tiphat: Enjoy!


Thanks, Dubi!

i would post more pics, but I feel my specimens
don't show the full potential of your wonderful cultivars.

Well, maybe the full potential grown in small pots
under dim lights, lol.

Thanks again for all the work you do and providing us
with special cannabis!

Hi smallgardener,

We are reversing that special Zamaldelica mum at the moment for feminized reproduction, hopefully i can give you good news about it in a few months.

Kind regards!

Thanks for the input Dubi. Are there any major differences in the regular vs fem version of these 3 strains? I ask because you specified the golden tiger fem version

i place 1 fem malawi and 1 fem delica, both are keepers(imho):biggrin:

i think a good genetic lineup can give you many 'keepers' when grown under the right conditions.
its not everytime the one with the highest potent or trippy high or biggest yield.
for me a keeper is more defined by personal preference and which pheno suits a certain situation the most.

in the end its very complex, easy to modulate only one pheno to very different expressions.

:tiphat:

his paragraph on golden seems to Imply that the reg and fem versions differ.
