The high? Well, I dried a few buds for a couple of days & stuffed it in the Mighty for a wake & bake this morning. It worked! I liked the high but I will have to play some more. 😉 My conclusion? Indoors, this plant should be grown 12/12 from seed unless you have 12 ft ceilings. Seriously. The stretch never stops. And I mean never. Outdoors, the length of flower could be a real problem unless you have a really long growing season. I am harvesting early - at 5 months. So, it can be a challenging plant to grow.

Due to the state of the plant, I have started a gradual harvest. Some branches - particularly the ones that I supercropped early in the plant's life - are starting to die slowly - probably from the bent stalk restricting flow, especially with the weight of the buds dragging it down. The leaves & the buds dry out - starting at the base of the stalk. The buds are still green inside, so it is not bud rot, just the plant saying goodbye. Obviously, these branches are getting chopped to salvage the crop in the rest of the stalk. Big laden branches with lots of leaves & tiny airy buds. There are trichs but it is not a frost monster. If I do a conventional wet trim, the result is a laughable scrawny stalk. So I will do some wet & dry - I certainly have enough monster stalks to play with. The harvest will probably stretch over a week or more as I let other branches mature more. I will update this post with results etc.

@HighRoller909, I am happy to oblige. 😀 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. 😲

both looking crazy,I love them.good job mate.looks like malawi is gonna be a 12 weeker.one tall cola.I'm going to start a Panama grow soon hopefully

tobedeterminedcommented5 years ago
Thanks. The Malawi cola is about 10" above the rest of the bud sites. I didn't top her. 12 weeks or more . . . 😄 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. 😎

Great yield mate is it worth the Waiting time in your Opinion??

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 hasn’t 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 – not as rounded as the Malawi – but clearer & stronger than the typical Sativa hybrid commercially available. And that is why it may be worth growing for some – that search for the old school pure Sativa high. This has it.

@Pot_Portraits, I love it . . . just lop off an arm & dry it when your stash runs low. 😋

lovely ending,truly wild sativa genetics.might need at least 7 months to finish.wow.hope you enjoy the high.is it different than malawi?

I have only smoked both once with uncured bud & I layered them on something else, so it is hard to evaluate. Both are ‘up’ 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.

@Grey_Wolf, Sometime . . . 🙏 But I am going to grow it out. However long it takes.

She's looking amazing! But are you sure you have enough space for the Doc? She will grow much bigger than that😋😍
tobedetermined
tobedeterminedcommented5 years ago
@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.

Malawi looks very bushy for this stage. Interesting. I know it is a very narcotic sativa.You have a long journey :)
tobedetermined
tobedeterminedcommented5 years ago
@HighRoller909, Yes, it is very bushy. And the stalk is beefy as well so it must have a good root structure. All set to get big. 😮
