About Malawi Gold
This is a pure Malawian landrace, offered by Bodhi Seeds, and the plant behaves like the equatorial sativa it is: tall, patient, and slow to finish. Flowering stretches eleven to thirteen weeks, well beyond the eight-or-nine-week pace of most hybrids, and the plant rewards that patience with real size -- 150 to 200 centimeters indoors and 200 to 300 outdoors, where yields can climb to 500 to 700 grams per plant. Indoors, expect a more modest but still respectable 300 to 400 grams per square meter. THC testing runs from about 18 to 20 percent, a solid number for a landrace, since these older, unhybridized genetics often test lower than modern crosses bred specifically for potency. Grow difficulty sits at moderate, which for a plant this tall and slow-finishing mostly comes down to managing height and patience rather than any particular fussiness. As a 100 percent sativa landrace, Malawi Gold represents a genetic line that predates most of the hybridizing that shaped today's dispensary shelves.
