Malawi x NL Auto by Ace Seeds has the honor of being the first 100% autoflowering variety of the Spanish bank. Fruit of the cross between Old Malawi Killer —the most powerful African sativa in the catalog—and a Northern Lights Autoflowering of high quality, this hybrid Sativa/Indica/Ruderalis It has surprised the entire community of autoflowering growers with its vigor and quality, well above the average of commercial automatic varieties. It produces a huge main cola surrounded by powerful lateral branches loaded with resinous buds that rival the best photoperiod varieties. Available in an improved F4-F5 version, it produces two differentiated phenotypes: one very productive and fruity sativa/indica ready in 9 and a half weeks, and another more pure sativa that takes 10 weeks and develops unusual African structures in cars.

Plant morphology. Malawi x NL Auto grows with exceptional vigor for an autoflowering strain. The main phenotype produces plants with a balanced sativa/indica structure with a large central bud and abundant productive lateral branches. The sativa phenotype develops a more open and separated structure, larger size and longer flowering time. Both phenotypes reach between 70-120cm depending on the conditions and begin automatic flowering at 4-5 weeks from germination. The minimum recommended pot is 7 liters indoors and 15-20 liters outdoors.

Appearance of the flower. The buds of Malawi x NL Auto are the biggest surprise of this variety: dense, very resinous and with a complex aromatic profile that varies depending on the phenotype. The green sativa/indica phenotype smells like tropical fruit juice (pineapple, pear, peach); the more sativa purple phenotypes are reminiscent of strawberry yogurt and berries. The effect when consumed is lucid, stimulating and mental at the beginning, evolving into a warm progressive relaxation — the best Sativa/Indica balance that a car can offer.

Cultivation tips

• What is the ideal climate to grow Malawi x NL Auto ? It is extremely versatile and adaptable. It can be grown indoors all year round under 18-20 hours of light, and outdoors from April to October even in northern latitudes. In warm regions it can be grown throughout the year.
• What training techniques work best with Malawi x NL Auto ? Ace Seeds recommends maximizing the growing period by using pots of at least 7 liters from the beginning indoors. Gentle LST in the first weeks is the most suitable training. The staking of the branches is essential due to the weight of its buds.
• What type of fertilization does Malawi x NL Auto need? The most productive sativa/indica phenotype needs moderate-high levels of nutrients; the more extreme sativa phenotype requires a gentler diet. The branches must be well supported due to the weight of the buds. Flowering resin stimulators enhance its extraordinary fruity terpene profile.
• How should irrigation be for Malawi x NL Auto ? Irrigation should be frequent but moderate. Given the importance of the growth period for autoflowering plants, it is crucial not to overstress it with excess or lack of water. The well-aerated and draining substrate favors optimal root development.
• Can you harvest together with the mothers in the same closet? Yes, one of the great advantages of Malawi x NL Auto is its excellent adaptability to indoor crops under growth photoperiod. It can be placed next to the mothers under the 18/6 cycle and harvested when it matures, without the need to prepare a separate space with a 12/12 photoperiod.
