Neat observation. I found a feral weed patch long ago and all plants i grew were males. I figured it was the treatment the seeds had over the winter… But now you have me scratching my head, lol. Why would they be the same sex in groups? You would think it would go fifty fifty, roughly.

Tried it uncured? I find i like many Sativas fresh, for both flavor and effect.

Thanks brotha 
You know I couldn’t keep my hand off it once it dried enough to smoke haha. I would say it was lemon more noticable when first harvested. The effects seem to be the same. The taste is what really jumps out at me in difference.
Nice!!

I’ve been playing around with some of Ace’s Malawi and Golden Tiger my last couple grows so thought I’d throw up a few pics and my thoughts. My first run both strains stretched like crazy, but my temps were a bit high occasionally reaching over 90° and I was pushing the light to over 1000 ppfd, and they stretched like mad, the GT stretching at least 6x. This is them at about 12 weeks or so, I added a second trellis net to the GT.
These are clones from the above, still going now at about 12 weeks. I don’t know if it was lower temps, average this grow about 80°, with the lights at about 750-900 ppfd, or the fact that the plants were clones and hence more mature when flipped. I have heard from a few experienced sativa growers that age of the plant when flipping is very important and they should be at least 70-90 days depending on strain. I’d love to hear others opinions on that, anyway these are more frosty and smell much stronger.
I did make a handful of seeds from a Malawi male from both the Malawi and the GT as well as a BG Puck Yes, which should be interesting as well, it’s Puck/skunk#1xC99 and amazing on its own. Anyway I am fairly new to the site and love sativa landraces so figured I’d show what I’ve got going on right now.

Great work! It stands to reason that a fully mature plant will be more medicinal than an adolescent forced into maturity.
ACE’s Africa/GT gear is diluted with PCK or some other hashy BLD gear so the other alternative to increasing the medical ‘sativa’ characteristics is to go for more NLD landrace lineage. More frost is not always more good in NLD landrace world.

I concur just because its not frosty doesn’t mean its not fire some of the best sativas have teeny tiny resin heads real short stalks and some hardly at all which is really kinda cool because they dont just loose resin no matter how hard they are treated because the resin is inside the plant

I agree that Ace may have introduced some indica, they hold fast no, but either way it’s definitely a way leaning sativa. My biggest interest on this grow is in the difference of how a plant grown from seed flipped right away differs from a plant that was grown or cloned to 90+ days then flipped. My expectations were no difference, results so far are amazingly different. I’m no plant scientist but it’s an interesting difference.

I wouldnt argue ace malawi is definately no landrace but i cant stop smoking it. Ever since outdoor harvest, probably 7 outta 10 times i reach for ace malawi. Potent as hell and in my experience way easier to grow than an actual landrace. I would recommend

Potent in what way? Can you speak on the distinction between the effects of the phenos you experienced in each line?
