Strain
โ2 different phenotypes to try. Not what I had in mind, but they will be a real delight. My guess is plant 1 will be very, very strong and plant 2 would be very very strong as well.

Feels like I did not get a phenotype that is a real blend of those 2 legends. 2 seeds, 2 different plants, one looks like a Bubba, the other one like a Malawi. Results are not what I was expecting, has my first criteria to grow this strain was to improve the terpene profile of the Malawi.
Plant 1, aka Malawi dominant
Really finished like a classic Malawi (yes, Sativaman already grew a few of them๐...). Light green, chunky hard buds, drenched in resin, great calyxes ratio, and full of trichomes. Smell is what I'd describe as nutty woody oily like other Malawi. And like other Malawi I can get some vanilla and pine undertones that seems to go away in the first months. Gotta say, buds are harder than usual, and resin production was exceptional..
Effects are heavy. For seasoned smokers. Usually I smoke joints around one gram, with this one I've learned quickly that smaller is better. At higher dose it's good for greening out. Very heavy and psychadelic feelings, like edibles at very high dose (300mg thc+). I guess it would be fantastic for medical uses as a morphine substitute.
At lower dose you get the excitement of Sativas, with increased hart beat, feeling like moving and doing stuff. Still some heaviness and distortion. At this strenght, when you get a hit, the psychedelic effects hit you and this is what I Love with this strain! It feels like you've jump out of plane in parachute, nice haed spin rush with diziness,
Do I like her?, or Do I Love her?!
= I LOVE her !!! this is the best *Malawi* I have ever grown!! Best effects, most appealing harvest, best burning qualities, but not with a dankier smell...
Plant 2 aka Bubba dominant
Finished with almost all qualities a grower could expect: killer looking buds, purple colour, rock hard buds, covered with trichomes ... but with very little smell and no taste!! =( ... I know this is a major deception and I am very sad to write this.. Truth hurt but it is what it is.
ACE did not used a modern cut, neither the classic one for this cross: they used the Katsu cut. While Katsu is the father of every Bubba, the Katsu cut is a floral version. I've smoked a lot of this when I was young.... Nothing bad to say but not what you expect when you talk about Bubba kush.
ACE's mission is to preserve and spread biodiversity so I guess using an old school underground cut for a cross, even for a *classic*, makes sense.. *sight* ....
Effects, well she smokes like an indica, not too heavy, and as the opposite to her Malawi sister, effects gets more psychedelic on the mid term instead of the short term. While not being too strong this is a nice blend of both body and mind buzz.
So.. Do I like her? or Do I Love her!??
I like her.... this is not exceptional smoke, a little blend, and reason to grow this was for some Dank, Stinky, Pungent, Skunky aromas. None of them are here.
