I finally gave up and harvested them at around 14 weeks i think.

They were easily were 2-2.5x or more higher than the OG hybrid that finished next to them. When they two strains began flowering phase, the OG was a little taller than the Malawi.

I learned an awful lot during that grow but I did not do the strain justice tbh.

The funny thing was, I looked at a lot of grow pics here and I didn't notice others having as much trouble with stretch as I had. Not really sure where i "went wrong"

hi onavelzy, malawi grows a lot after flowering as 4 weeks growing more and stretching ... although it is rare that they do not stop their growth once they close ends. it could be that some phenotype does not adapt well to the cultivation system that you used or some type of light pollution that you did not notice, it could also be due to some stimulator that does not sit well and will be stressed. the truth is that I can not allude a lot with that since it is my first crop with this variety, for now I do not have a problem that I have closing points and I hope you do not stretch more greetings!

9 1/2 weeks in 11/13.Potency was there at 8 weeks,loved her with first puff...Will go for 4 more days- a week...

That looks dank, dense and deadly, syd!

beautiful plant, saitama, looks very healthy. Coco + drip?

[Syd Barrett]

I can't describe how dense these buds are,it's like thai stick dripping in resin.And the taste is like perfume...Not much smell of the actual bud(maybe hashy like)...But the taste...Ahhhh...It is strong ever for high tolerant smokers(eh-hem).But not over powering...Like a different kind of sativa.No indica,don't misunderstand me,but very floaty and introspective.This would be a keeper for quality of buds/high(for me)/flowering time.Pity I don't keep cuts.This is top grade weed .Under its influence I always see dreams when I sleep,which is actually very rare if I am not in a break.This really impressed me.

Hi guys!! syd this plant is really very good, it has to be really strong ..I leave some images of mine with 37 days to 12/12. every week I upload a photo to share with all those who pass through here the development of these plants...forgive me for my level of English .... thank you google translator greetings !!

If these round of clones ends up with PM ill just germ another and hope it has greater resistance. Also gotta bleach the place down

Hi Mr.Revolution,

Malawi is not our most resistant strain against powder mildew, but you shouldn't have pm problems of this kind if your growing environment is clean and you use the proper preventives like sulfur.

If the powder mildew is already established in your indoor garden you must treat your plants before switch them to flower, and clean all the tent, fans and tools with bleach. Hope you can eradicate the problem.

Glad you got a fruity Malawi going!

Hi Harry Gypsna,

Malawi has a moderate stretching for a pure sativa, especially in the more recent generations (New Killer Malawi phenos, fruity Malawi phenos and purple Malawis), the Old Killer Malawi phenos more prevalent in the regular version like to stretch more.

Of course, Malawis grown from seed will tend to grow taller with stronger stretching than the same parental plants grown from clone, this is applicable for all the sativa strains. Malawi can stretch approx 30-80 % in the first 4-5 weeks of flowering, but after that the stretching stops.

Hope it helps to plan your Malawi grow!

Hi Syd,

Thanks for sharing an early smoke report of your recently harvested Malawi

The fruity and purple Malawi phenos really have a more refined and loud terpene profile, but as you have experienced, the resinous killer phenos have a woody/oily old school african sativa aroma, not so refined in the aromas like most modern strains, but after a good curing their taste can be quite pleasant for the sativa lovers that appreciate these kind of old school sativa aromas.

Glad you rate the effect as top grade, friend it can only get better with the curing, i always recommend to cure Malawi for at least 3 months to experience properly its effects and terpenes.

Hi cst28,

Really nice looking Malawi garden you have there!
You have already passed successfully the most difficult stage of the grow (the early flowering stretching when growing from seed) and your Malawi garden looks properly tamed and well focused into flowering. In upcoming weeks you can expect serious weight and resin production in your Malawis, you are going to enjoy it a lot

Thanks for your weekly updates!
