Thanks for any help you can give.

Hi JKD I dont really know where you are but the thing about the Thai's is they take a long time to flower and you do need a fair few to find the right one.
Also the comparison I am using is with F1 nev hazes and after growing the NH on offer now and the F1's I can tell you the F1's are stronger.
Do I think the Thai is stronger.....well I still havent tried the later F1's yet but at the moment I will say yes, but in a different way as the Thai is more trippy.
I have also grown the Malawi, but due to the season we had i lost a few of them and only got to sample 2 and they definetly did not look good, so in all honesty I cant really give a good report on them.
If you dont have the season and space to work with alot of Thai's i would do your original cross, but if you do then go for the Thai.
I think these days crossing 2 landraces is the best thing you can do as not everybody is doing it and it is something very special if you get it right.
I wish you well in your choice and happy growing...k

Thanks for the advice Kangativa.

If run 12/12 from seed will each Thai fit into a 5' x 5' x 8' space?

Will get the Thai seeds as they are a limited edition and hold on to them until I can figure out what I'm going to do with them...

Thanks again Kanga.

You can do it I think. The trick is not to put them under HPS for well ever..Id strictly use 6500k Metal Halide bulb the entire grow period. That will eliminate alot of your problems with stretch and being able to manage the plants.

Thanks Dave.....JKD I would listen to this mans advice as I know nothing about flowering indoors only revegging.

Ive gotten good at restricting height indoors with Sativas. The Afropips Malawi Gold we previously discussed, Ive have going now, and they're so compact you'd never think they were a sativa.

The longer the time spent under mostly blue light the greater the carry over effect when plants are flowered under HPS, so JKD can give them some HPS lighting if he desires, but Id recommend at least a month under mostly blue light. Probably longer since it is Thai.

Hi Dave,
You might want to hold back some afropips seeds and make some more. I have been trying to source some of his strains which i usually buy through sensibleseeds. They are now down to their last few packs and will not be sourcing anymore as the chap who ran afropips died awhile back and his father tried to carry on the legacy but alas it has come to an end. Sensibleseeds did say however that they have spoken to a some other landrace breeders and will be getting them on board at the end of the year, the original nepali strains and the vietnamese black being the ones to anticipate plus a few others in the pipeline - I will check back there in December to see if the goodies are in.

Believe me, I am gonna make seeds. Although, the Malawi Gold have been a disaster to grow so far. Trying to salvage clones of each, but Ive got a source for some MG seeds someone else made. Ive also got Afro's Swazi Red, and Senegal Haze going. About 2 weeks old from seed. I can't wait to see how they turn out.

Hmm..you seem have some info a bit off about the Afroman death. Afroman is still alive and kicking. It was actually his son that died a few years ago. I verified this in email some time back with Afroman. Yet oddly enough the afropips website states Afroman died in 2008, yet my emails are dated july 2010..Ghost? lol BTW, I wouldn't trust that new pips website whatsoever, and wouldn't consider purchasing there.

A bit off topic but check out malberry seed co they have some nice looking African landraces strains including a Malawi gold ; )

Just a suggestion...if the last of these seeds are so difficult to come by why havn't the prices gone up? They are afterall decent seeds. I know sensible seeds is a big company and I am probably lousy at business but it seems to me that the person with a stock of seeds which nobody else can get hold of and which they can use to make more would actually be striking it rich!

Or am I wrong? (wont be the first time )

Hello everybody

I have seriously thinking to buy a pack of these Thai seeds, but my economy don't allow to me buy it now. Also I have tried to convince a friend to buy a pack together without success. Here growers are only interested in autoflowering and feminised seeds. He is growing now three tiny feminised autos, so I think that he killed deliberately the three Suamtran cuttings that I gave to him, when I told him that he will not sample that stuff until Christmas has gone

As this Thai Stick is a limited edition I think that will happen as with the Zamal, another interesting strain, that now is only present in hybrids. But it is not the same as pure.

About Afropips Malawi Gold, don't care. I hope that you will be flodded with loads of seeds in a while. Be sure

The problem is that I have seen recent Afropips Malawi Gold plants pics and they resemble more Afghans with broad fingered leaves than thin African sativas. The same happens with other strains claimed to be pure Malawi that I have seen.

I don't know what happened.
