The Malawi and the Ethiopian are high quality pure African sativas, both very vigorous and productive in themselves, but when combined in a direct F1 they explode in vigour, production and potency, reaching previously unsuspected levels.
The growth of this hybrid tends slightly more to the Ethiopian side, being tall, slender and flexible, although with greater robustness, and with a moderate stretch and node length thanks to the more tamed influence of Malawi. Its flowers show the most desirable qualities of the African sativas: very beautiful, long, thin and delicate Ethiopian pistils, which are born from an abundant, dense and very resinous floral structure with very little leaf, a trait inherited from the Malawi Killer phenotypes. Being an eminently tropical sativa hybrid, its flowering is moderate to long, although under the right conditions of strong light intensity and warm temperatures plants can yield huge crops that offer an enhanced prime quality African sativa effect: cerebral, energetic, and psychedelic at the same time.
The flowers have a sweet perfume of citrus/lemon and sandalwood aromas, with delicate floral and woody touches, slightly musky, with an earthy, dense and resinous background.
A sativa hybrid specially created for lovers of potent and high yielding pure African sativas, and for outdoor cultivation in tropical or subtropical climates.

- Genetics Our best 2nd generation Ethiopian parental plants x Malawi Killer.
- Structure Tall, thin and flexible, yet strong. Moderate stretch and node length.
- Bouquet Citrus/lemon and sandalwood. Sweet perfume, with delicate floral and woody touches, slightly musky, with an earthy, dense and resinous background.
- High Classic strong and prime quality African sativa effect. It delivers an initial discharge of physical energy that also accelerates the thoughts, later evolving into a more dense, complex and trippy high. A real journey of good duration and with different stages within the most emblematic psychoactive qualities of African sativas.
- Terpene profile It has not yet been analyzed.
- Growing Tips Outdoors, it produces excellent results in tropical/subtropical climates, although it can also be grown with great success in warm coastal weathers with mild autumns (similar to the Mediterranean) until latitude 43º. Indoors, it requires strong light intensity and enough space to develop properly. A sativa hybrid that’s very well suited to both SOG and SCROG culture. We recommend low/moderate levels of nutrients (especially of nitrogen) for the whole cycle, and slightly higher amounts of PK at the peak of floral production in mid-flowering.
Strain FAQ
Why are early November-finishing strains good for northern latitudes?
These genotypes thrive in the North's shorter daylight hours from summer to autumn, allowing them to do their work well despite the abrupt seasonal change.
What makes some cannabis strains smell like sandalwood?
Sesquiterpenes are abundant in sandalwood-scented cannabis. Their complex structure gives these terpenes unique flavours and scents.
Why are Sativa strains said to be lively and uplifting?
The cerebral buzz of high THC in sativas reportedly energises the intellect and inspires creativity. This jolt makes them a favourite for those looking to boost attention or zest up the day.
Why do some heat-resistant strains flower longer?
These strains take advantage of their natural regions' long, warm growing seasons because of their long flowering durations. This stage optimises growth and reproduction, and is an envolved survival adaptation.
What are some challenges of long flowering time strains?
Long-flowering strains reportedly require more time and more resources. To maintain a nourishing environment, it is said that more care must be taken with nutrients and pest control. This increases costs and requires more expertise.
