Back when the internet was all a buzz about the sour jack from karma being the picture used for the Peshawar and the black Afghani from karma being the Drakensberg gold malberrybwas trying to sell....so I have a bit of a bad taste in my mouth about that stuff but maybe il try just for shits and giggles
I don't mean to interrupt, but I think the STRAIN "Malberry" is not directly related to the discredited person/people of the same name. Malberry (Malawi Gold x Blueberry) is offered by Afropips; it's their Malawi Gold "Combined with the short bushy 19% THC Blueberry 2000 Cup Winner (IBL)." (
https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?threadid=328074) I think the discredited breeder/s having the same name is an unfortunate coincidence. I'm no expert, so please feel free to set me straight here, if my info is faulty, seriously.
I got some DJS Blueberry a few months back from Hemp Depot and they came with a freebie pack of these Malberry seeds, (the strain, not the seed company) and I hope to see some interesting things from selecting for shorter finishing time and speedy, sativa-influenced high, 'cause I like it like that. Supposedly these long-flowering African sativas are all over that quality...so maybe something could be bred that is a faster finishing Malawi, with hybrid vigor? And maybe something could also be bred that is mostly BB but has some racy, sativa influence to the high?? And that DJS Blueberry could come into play somehow???
I'll be watching this thread carefully, as I am fascinated by the idea of your acclimated Malawi Gold and other Malawi hybrids. If they're ever on offer, it seems like it could really fit in to my little closet breeding project! Btw, this will be my first foray into long flowering sativa genetics--the seedpack says 12+ weeks--so this'll be a looong term project. Don't hold your breath, but when there are some seeds to sample, I'll let you Rollitupers know, the more the merrier, I sez.
Any and all tips and advice welcomed and appreciated. LandAndHeir, those are some spectacular looking plants and pictures, it looks like a ton of fun!
