I like to run autos indoors to during the summer. I am not a big auto fan but have run Auto CBG and was happy with it.

I am wondering why Northern lights as well?

Sweet!! This just might be the ticket! I wanted something that I could harvest between now and my usual harvest of Sep/Oct. I ordered up a 10 pack of these along with a 5 pack of PCKxKali China! Thanks for the "Sticky" heads up Dubi!

Welcome hanky3,

As the title of the thread says, our first auto flowering strain is called Auto Malawi x Northern Lights, it's an autoflowering Malawi x indica hybrid, that's why it was not released as Auto Malawi, this could be a bit of misleading.

Hi,

We decided to use an Auto Northern Lights to cross it with Malawi because we have been reproducing the auto Northern Lights for many years and we knew the line quite well so it was quite natural for us to do this cross. We also have had good experience crossing sativas with NL, NL doesn't dominate so much when it is crossed with sativas, like it happens with other more afghani lines.

I will explain in more detail the breeding of Auto Malawi x Northern Lights in my next post.

Since 2011 one of our breeders has been reproducing an interesting Auto Northern Lights line, this auto line has been refined and reproduced for many generations in regular and feminized format. The Auto NL produces very small plants of 1 single cola with almost no branching, of aprox half meter size. Super fast flowering, it finishes in aprox 9-10 weeks from germination, producing sweet creamy aromas and resins, with a pleasant narcotic indica effect.

In 2014, we were working on a Malawi fem reproduction and our Old Killer Malawi mother was reversed. A few Auto NL females were pollinated by the Old Killer Malawi reversed. The Auto NL x Old Killer Malawi F1 fem hybrid produced strong, vigorous and high yielding sativa/indica plants as one can expect when crossing Malawi with a stabilized indica. This F1 fem generation did not autoflower, as the autoflowering trait is recessive. The F1 was grown and tested, and a few selected F1 plants were reversed to pollinate other sister F1 females producing a F2 fem generation of the hybrid.

25 % of the F2 generation was autoflowering, the autoflowering trait is recessive but it can be fixed following simple mendelian ratios. The 75 % of the F2 plants were photodependent and were discarded to work only with the 100 % autoflowering plants. A very resinous, short sized and fast flowering F2 autoflowering sativa female was selected and reversed to pollinate other very high yielding, resinous and aromatic F2 sativa/indica autoflowering females, to finally produce the 100 % autoflowering F3 generation that has been released as Auto Malawi x Northern Lights.

Dubi?
Are not you sending seeds to Brazil?

Wonderful description Thanks dubi.

How can I get the Malawi auto in the states? I always used The Vault but they don't have it.

That is dedication and a great account of what it takes to pass the grade. I am inspired to grow them when I next order. Alteady delighted with the Ace seeds I germinated this week on the 11th. I even got so happy I had to pop a Violeta standard to join the freshly germinated others. Ace is the place

Great news for every Sativa fan who lives in places with tough climate!

Dubi, I have a few questions for you:
I have some experience growing Malawi indoors and i wonder which height can I expect from this auto grown outdoors with only 5-6 hours of direct light per day.

Also i would like to know if the high can be compared to de high of a "real" Malawi in terms of psychoactivity or the NL auto genetic has wiped out it.

This could be the best auto ever!

Thanks
