It's hard to take good pics now because everything in both grow rooms has overgrown the space. I made a change in nutrient brand for these, and was not prepared for this sort of improvement. But if you can make out anything, the cheese candy is the three towering colas in the middle. There's a 4th that's supercropped amongst the field of c-99 [r], ace of spades on the left.

I mispoke earlier - these are just past 5 weeks - not 6. You'll see some fan leaf burn from the close proximity to the light, but for now all the buds are tied, pulled, bent out of danger.
They look very nice!

They're all through the dirt except for one Zamal and I'm sure it will show its head soon enough.
One of them has sort of tied itself into a knot however and I'm curious to see how it recovers.

Malawi is rocking quite well for me. I'm waiting for the plant, although not too long, for (hopefully gals) a bit more established. I'll snap a couple photos tonight. They are beginning to get their first leaves. Glad to hear about hybrid vigor in those zamals

I too am now growing Ace's gear. I got 6 Malawi just above the dirt, 4 panama, and 3 purple haze x thai wet in paper towel.
also have been growing c99(love this), Williams wonder, sannies jack, m.o.b.(the Maine strain). looking forward to sharing and learning.

So a little photo update.

I threw a Bangi Haze into flower. Have to wait to get a cutting off it as she's a bean pole. Not a fan of taking cuts after flowering begins but I had to do that with Mountain Temple and a Snow Queen (stocky indy pheno).

Anyways, here are the Malawi. I am going to put them into flower when Snow Queen (OG/pine cone pheno expression) is cut down and if a Bangi Haze is male. Although I was considering doing a little pollen chucking with Bangi Haze meets Goji gal. I'd like to have an idea of what could occur but I don't wanna waste a good male if it is one.

I simply have no idea how big she will get, if I'm lucky to get a gal.

They've gotten a lot bigger. The nice thing about that setup is you can adjust the height of the shelf pretty easily. I lowered it a few inches and the most vigorous Zamal's are almost growning into the light. Not bad at all.

Very cool and practical! I'm always a fan of seeing people's setups and that is a great one for veg.

Keep me posted on those Zamals. I'm excited to see what you get

These Malawi are really getting moving! Not as slow as some other land race/ibl. I have the Bangi Hazes both in the tent now. Just waiting to sex them. If a male pops in, the Malawi will take it's place.

I grow Ace and Cannabiogen quite often.

Most of their strains require a lot of patience, stable environment, and go EASY with the nutrients.
Fox Farms alone is enough to send them all into the nitrogen claw.

Good to know. I ditched fox farms nutes long ago. I use Jacks and haven't had a single issue with any plants. Fox farms just wasn't a good fit, too easy to get lock out and nutes weren't quite right in npk numbers I prefer. Easier to use a 1-1-1 ratio or 2-1-2 ratio.

Sadly it looks like one of the Bangi Haze is male. I haven't pulled him yet, just want to make sure but I'm wanting to make sure that I am correct in my assessment. The other Bangi Haze should start to show soon, hoping for one female.

So the question is, do I put in Malawi as I'm at the point where they are taking off, or do I throw in PCK in his place?

The Zamal really need to go into something bigger than a solo cup now. Pretty impressive vigor on these things IMO.

Will be upping them to larger pots tomorrow and maybe snapping some pics.

Grow the Malawai.
That's what I'm thinking. I'm surprised at the vigor on Malawi as well, not exactly hybrid vigor but nothing as slow as MLI or PCK

The biggest thing I see with these longer flowering strains is that it takes so long to find out if you have something good or trash. If the best sativa clones were passed like garbage clones are from dispensaries infested with bugs or inferior cuts purposly sold it sure would make it easier.

Like to see how your Malawi and that china strain do. Was always interested in them and reports from others. The China strain is supposedly more indica.

I only have the one China, so I'm hoping for a girl! Very stout and Indica looking.

Now the two Malawi definitely have the sativa look right out the gate. I'll be checking the Bangi Haze tonight to confirm male or female, but I'm pretty sure I've got a male on the one. Was going to check last night but rearranged the tent so the carbon filter is next to the light. Oh what a difference that makes in temperatures! Hate having all the weight hung up there but easily a 10 degree temperature difference just from moving it to the top instead of having it on the ground. Wish I'd done it sooner as I've tired of such high temperatures which have definitely had an impact on my girls
