I'm very happy to see a well detailed and so spot on review about it.So spot on mate! What you describe there is what ACE also says.I haven't tried Malawi before but I think I get that feeling. That narco buzz! As for effect smileys,I told GD about this many times before both in private message way and in public discussions,they said it was a great idea but they still did nothing.I care about it because I want to express exactly the feelings I get from my weeds but them icons are very basic and don't even match the high I get from ACE strains.I understand what you mean there.If my Panama was grown under cooler conditions,I'm sure it would have felt like that.I know because what is left off it is the biggest rocket bud which was the closest to the light and it gives more potent high than the rest of the plant.Great to see another fantastic strain review,enjoy your weed.Quality over quantity.I believe the other grow is going to finish bringing much more yield.

@sativaman, they tend to herm due to landrace origins.I've had them with ACE strains.I don't think 25mins power outage would make them herm.My grow room is around 15C at night time for plants.What I can say is ACE's strains are hardier than any hybrids out there,in my humble experience.

@HighRoller909, Just went to get some CalMag. What a catastrophe scenario to come back with a power outage in middle of day time cycle! My guess is it lasted between 15-25 mins as some grow light in my house were still hot but flower tent had reached night temp. A good test for ACE genetic let's see if they hermie out!

@sativaman, I never went pure organic but I'm hoping to do so in future.I'm currently aiming for yield,that's why sticking with Plagron.Awesome nutrients.But yeah I use GHE's Calcium Magnesium supplement.It works.Right now I see very little rusty spots on some of the fan leaves but very few.Increased the dosage to 1.5ml , I'm giving them tap water. It works in coco,should work in hydro as well.

What a shitload of shit is this amazon bought Super Soil! N and P deff crawling up on those small seedings in 15gal watered with rain and lake water is unacceptable! Feels like I sold my soul to to the devil au revoir Organic bye bye just top dressed with GAIA GREEN POWER BLOOM at manufacture recommendation. Hops THIS can put a STOP at those uninvited deficiencies.

@sativaman, never buy soil from Amazon. Coco brick on sale maybe. The best media is coco. You can amend it with dry organic amendments like dr earth and research the rest. You can top dress or use liquid ferts from there. Coco holds water and oxygen doesnt block roots. Supersoil is hot and anything with too much organic is mushy crap ure roots have to work to loosen. Coco trust me.

This is 1 month from seed and this strain is already a test of patience for me! It is barely impossible for me to run close to VPD because of ACs in my home and air exchange in my tent. Malawi is a 2 season country with wet and dry season. Assuming it grows in dry season (need sun right??) it should be OK in low RH... Still I will do my best to raise humidity in next 2 weeks. Now I really hope for some form of stretch or branching out untypical to regular hybrid. However if it stays that small I am flipping in 2 weeks.

2 seeds one strain. 2 seeds out of the 3 pack are very small. Took the biggest. Will be in vedge with a Super Malawi haze than it will be removed and flowered in a second tent. edit: Super Malawi Haze never sprouted

This will be a long journey for this exquisite sativa. 120 days of flowering expected.

I missed the part where they stayed small.What happened why there is not a difference in flowering? it looks not stretched.very interesting

@HighRoller909, I will try to stay humble and honest. They were poorly vedge and got stunted due to magnesium deficiency. This is my first time in soil usually running with Canna coco. As I was vedging under 480w of QB the plant showed signs of light overwork and stress witch I mislead for N and K deficiency. All the plant really needed at the time was some magnesium (Epsom Salts here.) When I contacted ACE team they told that Malawi is a vigorous strain that need more lights so I threw in a 600w MH but in my case more light stunted the plant even more. In a previous growth I had some Northern Lights pheno that really exploded after flip so despite they were stunted I flip because I was scared to run out of space (!!!!) Only good thing is I now have more bigger ACE plants ( an other Malawi and a Killer A5 ) that just joined those two in the flowering tent. They WILL BE HUGE!!!

I see you are having to cart water from that Big Lake You could grab a 12v Freshwater submersable pump ran off of a car battery or something and pump into a Larger tank maybe ?? I dunno what your situation is there but I know that with my Bad back carting buckets of Water all day would get Old Fast

Grey_Wolfcommented4 years ago

@sativaman, should be plenty unless the weather is really hot then they will drink more

sativamancommented4 years ago

@Grey_Wolf, thanx mate gotta check pH later today when I'll get fresh water. Do you feel 15 gal. will be big enough for some 4-5 footers?

Grey_Wolfcommented4 years ago

@sativaman, Yes mate I do have a little experience The main reason people get deficiencies is because the soils Ph is way out of whack from the water they are using That water from the lake would be ideal because it would be full of natural minerals etc just would be handy to test the ph

Wow! That's a great grow indoors 🌱👌

DoDrugs420commentedweek 173 years ago

You rock that Malawi i love it.

Slurpy_Terpycommentedweek 174 years ago

Beautiful work! Useful information, thank you! I am thinking of growing a real sativa indoor (hydro dwc + led) this summer and am hesitating between ace seeds malawi, or golden tiger (or one of them crossed with Panama) or the a5 or congo... its so hard to choose! I am basically looking for the most distinct sativa effect, I have nearly only grown modern hybrids so far. Good luck with your garden 👍👊

heizencommentedweek 174 years ago

Nice grow mate, plants are looking good, keep it up, imma follow this one upclose.

Grey_Wolfcommentedweek 24 years ago

Hi again mate May I suggest not vegging them for too long because they may get too big for your tent when the flowering starts they can triple in size 👍
