The Malawi has been harvested so I switched all of the lights to a vertical array on one side of the tent pointing at the mass of the Dr Grinspoon on the other. This way, the body of this beast gets some light. It's still flowering but not mature imho. I have started gradually reducing the light by 15 minutes every 4-5 days. I also started another blast of AstroFlower for PK. I want this plant to finish.
@HighRoller909,
I am happy to oblige. ๐ I decided to try a long sativa grow for a change. My challenge will be to contain them.
Besides, I really want to make some Malawi cobs. ๐ฒ
Thanks. The Malawi cola is about 10" above the rest of the bud sites. I didn't top her. 12 weeks or more . . . ๐
I too have a few Panama regs from Ace that I got as freebies. Some future grow. I plan to run fem Zamadelica next if it fits with my timing schedule since I will be out of country next November. Too many seeds, not enough space or time. ๐
For most growers? No. Far too big & long. If I was doing it again, I would start from 12/12 from seed & transition into 10/14 midway through flower. It hasnโt been curing enough to give a real view on the taste but it is pleasant. The high (from the early harvest) is a cerebral Sativa lift. Clear mind, upper body buzz etc โ not as rounded as the Malawi โ but clearer & stronger than the typical Sativa hybrid commercially available.
And that is why it may be worth growing for some โ that search for the old school pure Sativa high. This has it.
Yes mate your 12 / 12 comment hit it right on the head for the Grinspoon :D I have one on idle in my office in 15 liters, its "only" 180cm talls, that plants just never stops the flower stretch, its so true :D
Yours looking solid mate ! mine still has to go back under the lights but as of now its a office plant ๐
I have only smoked both once with uncured bud & I layered them on something else, so it is hard to evaluate. Both are โupโ highs, of course. I made a cob from 35 grams of the Malawi & I did chew 0.5 grams last week to test. While it tasted like crap (due to a slight flaw in my cobbing), it was very, very good & I was blitzed for hours wearing a big shit-eating grin.
@TheDoctor,
Yeah, it is a big messy plant. Multiple stalks are now above my light level. Even alone in the tent it would have filled it by now. I have it tied over to one side to leave space for the Malawi. I will get what I get I guess.
If the curling you are talking about is that leaf tip clawing, it is early sign of Nitrogen overload. Sativas don't like much N in veg.Even if you havent been giving too much, they tend to be very sensitive to N. You can back off with N on plants that have this sign and it'll be ok
@HighRoller909,
Agreed. I figure the low pH produced some nute lock which spiked the nitrogen. Now that my pH is back to normal, I will cut out all nutes except the Canna A & B & I will run them light. EC of 0.7 - 0.8 for now.
