How to grow Malawi x PCK
Taste
Seb's take
Old Malawi Killer meets Pakistan Chitral Kush, and the result draws on both without favouring either. Lemon, honey and fruit on the nose; the high is relaxed, happy and euphoric, and settles in for a good four hours. A strain that takes its time, in the nose and in the head alike.
Where it comes from
Ace Seeds crossed the Old Malawi Killer with Pakistan Chitral Kush — a meeting of an African sativa and a mountain Kush, and the result draws on both without favouring either. A 40/60 indica-to-sativa split that softens the Malawi's long reach with the PCK's grounding influence. The overpowering potency, the record says, will last up to four hours, so it keeps the landrace stamina of its African parent.
Nose & flavour
Lemon at the top, honey through the middle, fruit rounding it out — a sweeter, warmer profile than a pure Malawi would give, the Chitral Kush parentage lending it body. The honey note is the distinctive part, softening the citrus into something rounder. A sweet aroma with captivating flowers behind it, the record has it, and an inviting one.
The high
Relaxed, happy and euphoric, and it settles in for a good four hours — an overpowering sativa-indica effect, the record calls it, that takes its time in the nose and in the head alike. Those who dare to give it a try are in for a swell time, it adds. A long, broad effect that lifts and grounds in turn rather than pulling hard either way.
Growing it
Flowering runs 63 to 77 days, shorter than a pure Malawi thanks to the Kush in the mix, and the record describes a high yield without committing to a figure — so I will leave the number unstated rather than guess. THC comes in at 17%, with 0.05% CBD. No height is given either, so judge the frame by eye and let the 40/60 makeup guide your training. A more manageable landrace cross than most, and a rewarding one.
