Malawi Gold - The Gold Standard Strain for
Sativa Lovers?
Malawi Gold, popularly referred to as Malawian cannabis, is one of the most extremely rare Sativa
strains (https://cannabis.net/strains). It is predominantly grown in Malawi and exported to the
west. For a very long time, Malawi Gold has been regarded as the finest marijuana strains to be
grown on the African continent (https://cannabis.net/blog/locations/is-africa-poised-for-a-green-
rush). Its rarity in the west adds to its allure. Consumers of this weed strain say that it got them
feeling mentally uplifted and more focused on their work. The effects of Malawi Gold cause
enthusiasts to search for this product. Some even go as far as visiting Malawi in search of the
fabled drug.
Origin of Malawi Gold
This rare strain is originally from Africa. The best Malawi gold strain was traced back to the Salima
region in Malawi.
In Salima, it is grown at the top of a high plateau. It is one of the top export products in the
country, preservation is easy because the crop has extreme resistance to mold due to the hot and
humid climate of Malawi.
In Malawi, it is commonly referred to as Ganja. The plant is used to create local hair food products.
The oil is also extracted from the seeds to cure eye infections and toothache.
The genetic origin of the plant has not been determined.

Cultivation of Malawi Gold
The seeds of the plant can withstand various weather conditions and as such, they are easy to
cultivate.
As mentioned earlier the best place for the outdoor growing of Malawi gold strain is done in
Salima, Malawi. Farmers who have tried to grow the crop outside its usual habitat have
experienced a less than moderate-quality harvest.
The best way to plant Malawi gold in other parts of the world is indoors or in a warm greenhouse.
However, the farmer has to be experienced to get the expected results from the plant.
When cultivated indoors, the farmers induce the flowering phase after a week or at most two
weeks of the vegetative phase. It must not exceed two weeks because the plant has a rapid and
enormous growth rate.
Indoor cultivation of the Malawi gold strain is about 10 to 12 weeks. The farmer can expect a total
harvest of 625g per square meter.
To cultivate Malawi gold outdoors or in greenhouses, the recommended planting period is late
October to early November. The yield expected at the harvest period can be about 850 to 1000g
per plant stand.
A plant of Malawi gold can grow as high as 60cm (2ft).
The harvest period falls between April to May.
Due to the rapid growth rate of the Malawian cannabis plant, farmers use trellis-nets and other
farming practices to control the growth of the plants
Characteristics of Malawi Gold
This rare strain is often considered a treat—a rare one at that. Its sweet and spicy buds make up
for whatever harsh taste that could be tasted or smelled by a novice smoker after the buds have
been ignited. It is important to state that the smoke of the Malawian weed is unlike that of other
cannabis strains, it is smooth and has a lemon note which can be detected in its aftertaste—after it
has been exhaled. Like other endearing Sativa strains, Malawi gold is desired for its ability to kick in
quickly at an intense rate.

Appearance
A regular Malawian cannabis plant has long tapered nugs. The plant itself is shaped like a
Christmas tree during its vegetative to the flowering phase. Its fluffy appearance is a result of its
uneven lead structure, A touch of the plant buds is incredibly sticky because it is composed of a
high amount of trichome. You can as well say that it has a resemblance to the classic Thai Sativa
strains (https://cannabis.net/strains/sativa/thai).
Aroma
The weed has a unique aroma that is unlike that of other cannabis buds. Some say the easiest way
to describe the aroma is that it reminds them of some high-quality brands of candies. It has a
fruity, citrus odor.

as edibles or smoke respectively, the user will detect traces of berries, nuts, and sometimes coffee

The 420 Plant-a-Seed-a-Thon Challenge #420SeedChallenge
Plant the Seed and Over Grow the Greed this 420 in the #420SeedChallenge I say we don’t go out in mass and spark up but rather
sneak about and plant some seeds. Make sure that they can survive without human contact – meaning, they should be able to have
water, sun and enough biodiversity to hide them in plain sight.

OPINION
The Not Enough Marijuana Research Myth Debunked
While it’s not bad to study the harms of cannabis – we should do it – but to spend half of the budget on that purpose seems like
over kill. Perhaps, spending that money on how cannabis helps could provide new data to create new medicines that could end up
saving millions.
