Bangi Haze x Black Triangle remix was in the Vault Treasures for sure, not sure if the Red, Gold, Blue is the same beans as the pack listed on the VT . Doc sent RGB to me as a gift after I won the auction,

Anyway, I want to run both of those and repro them before to long.

Oh, he did? Gawddamn you… haha. Just kidding. He sent me a weird Golden Tiger x BT Remix as a freebie, sounds bizarre, but one of the rare freebies that I’ll probably actually grow at some point.

Doc always be sending out the good freebies haha…

Thanks for letting me know. I felt like I was missing confirmation from someone and was actually going to post here to make sure & see if I had to resend. I don’t keep records or retain any info so it can be hard to remember at times. As always if anyone else reading this thread wants to try out any of these chucks just let me know, I still have a book of stamps

Seeds look good, haha

Hopefully it’s still viable :crossed_fingers: , it’s a combo of Triple Sunshine H & E.

Awesome shots by the way!

Odd… I was just looking at ACE’s Golden Tiger last night when talking with a local grower friend about Malawi. Both GT & Zamaldelica came up. I thought that maybe the Malawi from ACE would be more tame than the pure landrace from RSC. Interested to see you grow those out!

And @syzygy got the pinesoul transplanted last night in the 4x4 along with some ssdd(hb cut)blue dream sc and a fire purps from csi clone flipping them in about a week from now so ended up being a few weeks longer to flower them out but I
Kinda worried she’s already quite big and the stretch on the outside pinesoul was quite extreme :joy: going to have to really use my canopy control on these gals

Nice! After I take the dogs I have to do some maintenance on my TK (dead fan leaf removal) so will get some pictures when I’m taking the pinesoul out. Seems nice and pretty much on autopilot without any noticeable issues. Looking forward to seeing your new SSDD cut and what you make of it. Blue dream always sounded nice as well!

What type of camera did you get by the way?

Changed my mind on the Fuji H? and went to
OLYMPUS OM-D E-M1 Mark III
Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 60mm f/2.8 Macro Lens, for a start, and looking at a couple wide primes 9mm, 20mm and something in the middle. Love the form factor of the four/thirds, and the weather-ability of the system.

Nice! I only have one 105mm (prime) lens and have forced myself to make it work for everything haha. For stuff that I can’t use it for like full tent shots I’m just using my phone. Did you get a Speedlight for it?

Some shots from today.

Chem 91 - see at least one nanner in the pic but the leaves are looking a bit happier now that the light has been tuned down for a while.

Triple Sunshine F - starting to flower now

Triple Sunshine G

Lav Jack

Pinesoul

Bubba Kush

Triangle Kush

I’ve read some relatively lengthy threads about both of those on icmag. The general consensus re that GT is that it’s more “special occasion” weed and not something people were wanting to smoke every day, sounded like it was kind of intense.

I wasn’t a big fan of Black Triangle when I grew it, but maybe the remixed version’s different haha. In any event, yeah, that cross of Doc’s sounds really weird to me.

:joy::joy:

Yea, I was having a convo w/ a friend who likes that type of Cannabis and has grown out rsc’s Malawi for the past few years. He mentioned something about the insane stretch and how it never finishes and I suggested maybe looking at ACE’s Malawi, assuming they acclimatized it a bit for the indoor environment.

After searching a US seedbank that carries ace I was toying with the idea of looking for different genetics to explore. Didn’t end up actually ordering but it’s just weird coincidence that I was looking at that one last night. My thinking right now is that I can explore stuff I otherwise wouldn’t grow out, now that I have some moms in reserve. Just to keep things interesting really. No point searching OG crosses if I have a good enough OG expression in the TK mom.

If that seedbank had Lebanese by ACE I 100% would have ordered it last night though. Also if our state had testing available I’d potentially be interested in exploring their CBD #1 line just to try one out and see if there’s any value there for me. Eventually I’ll want to grow out a few sativas, even though I don’t think they’re my thing (only extreme sativa I’ve grown was Kali Mist). Any of their offerings catch your eye?

Doc did a Malawi Gold/Dragon Energy thing, bought a couple packs a while back and reeeeallllyyyy wanna plant some, but that probably won’t be for a while… haha. I dunno if those seeds are still available, like at GLG or wherever, but it might be worth your friend (or you) checking into it, along with the ACE stuff. I’m not sure how much any Malawi leaners won’t stretch, though; the C. Gold leaner from that C. Gold x DE cross I grew got fucking huge.

Whenever I look at pics from that grow, I’m always like,”How did I even grow that plant…?” haha.

Yeah, that makes sense.

If I ever have, like, an extra ten bucks again haha, I can send you that Golden Tiger cross of Doc’s. I mean, honestly, as interesting as it sounds to me, it’s probably, like, 150’th on my “List of Stuff to Grow” haha.

Why are you so interested in that one? Just because of the Red Leb Hash thing?

Don’t be so quick to assume that just because something’s a “Sativa,” that automatically means it’s gonna be all racy and rushy and “heart palpitations” haha and shit. All of my favorite weed I’ve grown has been the NLD haha, longer-flowering stuff. And none of them have made me feel anxious.

From ACE? Yeah, a lot of their stuff. But I’m out of the seed-buying market, so… haha. Now I just read their descriptions for fun.

Ya any cross would probably have to be me, as I think he’s mostly interested in pure Malawi (but I could be wrong). The lysergic description used for zamaldelica sounded interesting to me, but I too have read a lot of cautionary tales of that one. In any case I probably want to stay clear of Malawi myself if for no other reason than (local) diversity sake.

I appreciate that but I don’t think I’d grow it either being a cross. I too wasn’t the biggest fan of BT, and still have a few unopened packs left. Doubt I’m going to get to those any time soon with the Triple Sunshine mom & tk in storage. If I go the GT route ever I’ll either go pure or x zamal.

Yeah, because I know it’s something I’d grow out. Just like with the Vanilluna chucks, It’s something different from the seeds I have. Doesn’t matter if i like it or not. I’ve pooled up a lot of similar genetics over time (lots of OG crosses), and there’s a lot of overlap with the moms I’m sitting on. Really I’m content with the Triple Sunshine mom, not to mention the additional moms I’ve been gifted. I bought most of the seeds years ago before there was any glimmer of hope for legalization in my state.

The TS / BK F2s are a bit different because I’m really just looking to see if there are any interesting SSDD expressions in there and how they compare to the F1s that I’ve had, as well as the crosses. Eventually I will get bored though and some different genetics will keep it interesting.

For me right now that isn’t even too much of a factor because I can throw a 1 GAL pot or 2 of triple sunshine in the flower area and have enough smoke to hold me over. It is good to know though and keep in the back of my mind. The bag of Malawi my friend gave me wasn’t that racy really, was definitely heavy on the introspection though.

Is this TK and Bubba from farmerjoe?

I didn’t get them directly from him, but yes I was told the Chem 91, Bubba and TK were all sourced from him.

Triple Sunshine A veg vs TK veg

Triple Sunshine E veg - still hasn’t “autoflowered” being in the same pot for over a month. Fairly strong (for veg) skunky smell on this plant.

One thing that I have seen mentioned over and over and over is that Ace’s malawi has some pck in it to bring down the flowering time. So if he’s wanting the “pure”Malawi, that might not be the one. But, I feel like alot of the things I have read about malawi are that is has a heavy, disassociative, and drunk feeling stone, so maybe the PCK blends in really well and doesn’t massively alter the high from the malawi.

That’s so cool how TSA and TK look almost identical! Can’t wait to see how the smoke between the two compare.

Good to know, thanks! Will stay away from that one then. I knew they crossed PCK into a few varieties but reading their website I didn’t see any mention of it on the Malawi listing. Their picture definitely looks more outcrossed than the RSC Malawi that I was gifted. Makes sense that there would be something else in there if they got it down to 10-13 weeks though.


from

and here is the RSC description of their Malawi-Gold :

This is the original Afropips Malawi Gold heirloom, descended from a cannabis landrace collected in Malawi several decades ago and reproduced from seeds kindly donated by a collector.

The best Malawi cannabis landraces are equatorial Sativa-type plants renowned for their vibrant, euphoric high and unique flavours. Historically, they’re most closely associated with the Nkhotakota region. Traditionally, flowering tops are made into ‘Malawi cobs’ by wrapping them in corn husks for storage and curing.

According to the original Afropips description, “Malawi Gold is internationally renowned as one of the most potent psychoactive pure African Sativas. Afropips superior first grade Malawi Gold was selected from 10 years experience with top Malawi growers for the spiciest taste & the most psychoactive clean vibrant high. The high is long lasting & has an enjoyable alert mental clarity coupled with a warm pleasant feeling that radiates throughout the body. The unique tropical & luxuriant spicy Sativa up high can be attributed to the presence of THCV in this early cultivated strain.”

I’d say that is more in line with what I experienced than a heavy dissociative & drunk feeling. I remember it being very alert & introspective. Don’t remember any warm pleasant body feeling though.

Same! Really looking forward to seeing what IAY thinks of the TS-a as well because I trust his ability to critique more than most of the people who have sampled it locally.

Definitely not the Malawi I’ve had :thinking:

Yeah I called that months ago when he was first growing out the TS-A. Should definitely be an interesting review!
