Malawi Gold aka "Chamba"

1000w will be a great improvement for your space as you are currently under lit---may even think of getting 2-600w lamps instead

OK, I think it has been 16 weeks now - that's four months for you math majors - and these girls are still not yet done under my crappy 400W HPS, which used to fuel some real nice grows in the past...(!)

The cola that you see center-ish is about two feet long and since my last post it has gotten noticeably fatter and heavier. This happy development has given me a bit of hope... and also perhaps greater insight into our peaceful hobby and my dilletante-ish efforts heretofore.

I will do Malawi again but not until I have my flowering space improved upon.

Cheers!

Thanks bro, if you go to the 2nd post from our colleague greenjoe who recommended I switch to 12/12 quickly, you can see how small they were when I did just that.

I imagine if I had a 1000W and cooler temps things would be better, but I took a lil bud the other day and even "raw", this smoke is quite aromatic with a heady kind of buzz. I think I will chop by this weekend as all the colas are hanging over each other... kinda neat to see that though

Still kinda bummed about crappy trichome production (I fault high temps more than anything - would anyone argue with that?) but when I do see them, I have a fair amount of amber showing.

Onward and upward!

Cheers everyone

Nah, no male thingies, but pretty crappy result, very loose and airy buds, my temps were way too high, I prolly shouldnt have grown in the summer at my latitude...

I think it was high temps that also led to very crappy trichome production, and what I do have gives a nice intense lil buzz that disappears in like 20 minutes. This only whets my appetite for what might be possible once I get my new room set up. I should be able to grow a 5-6' tall plant then.

Thanks again for your initial advice re 12/12ing when they were so small!

Cheers bro,
