Seb's take
Built from the P4 landrace out of Malawi and the Old Malawi Killer, this is a full sativa with a pure African lineage and nothing diluting the effect. Wood and lemon on the nose; the high is psychedelic, euphoric and energetic, and runs for up to four hours, so plan the rest of your day accordingly. Vigorous, forgiving of pruning, and untroubled by climate.
Where it comes from
Ace Seeds built this from the famous P4 landrace out of Malawi and the Old Malawi Killer — a 100% sativa with a pure African lineage and nothing diluting the effect. The record lists the parentage simply as Africa, and the plant reads exactly so: undomesticated in the best sense, unhurried and potent. A landrace with a psychedelic reputation the breeder makes no attempt to soften.
Nose & flavour
Wood and lemon, and little else needed — a clean, sharp landrace profile with citrus brightening an otherwise woody base. Nothing baroque about it, in keeping with a pure African sativa; the two notes carry the whole and carry it well. Straightforward and true to type.
The high
Psychedelic, euphoric and energetic, with the record adding aroused to the tally, and it runs for up to four hours — so plan the rest of your day around it rather than the reverse. A long, cerebral landrace effect that keeps the head firmly engaged. Company for a stretch when you have the time to let it run its full course, because it will take its time either way.
Growing it
Flowering is long, as landraces go — 70 to 91 days — and the record describes a high yield without committing to a figure, so I will leave the number unstated rather than guess at one. Vigorous lateral branching and a strong reaction to pruning make her ideal for horizontal or network growing. She resists pests and disease, needs only moderate nutrients and little attention, and suits all climates. A hardy, adaptable landrace for a patient grower.
