Malawi x PCK from Ace Seeds is defined by the bank as your best F1 Sativa/Indica hybrid with native varieties. This exceptional cross between famous Malawi killer —the most powerful African sativa in the catalog—and the Pakistan Chitral Kush elite purple —the best pure Indica in the bank—, produces plants of 60% Sativa that combine the best of both genetics. Malawi provides its extreme vigor, its enormous trichomes, its psychoactive power and its overflowing production; PCK provides its more manageable structure, its shorter flowering, its spectacular garnet and purple colors and its relaxing Indica effect. The result is a high-yielding hybrid, resistant to fungi and with a powerful and very long-lasting Sativa/Indica effect.

Plant morphology. Malawi x PCK grows with a branched and open structure, taller and more expansive than its sister Violeta , with a wide internodal distance that allows excellent light penetration. Indoors it can triple its size when flowering, so Ace Seeds recommends keeping a very short vegetative period. Flowering lasts 9-11 weeks, with outdoor harvest in the second half of October. At the end of flowering, the buds frequently show the maroon and purple colors inherited from the PCK.

Appearance of the flower. The buds of Malawi x PCK are elongated, very resinous and visually impressive, with a mix of green and purple that varies depending on the phenotype. The aromatic profile is complex and very particular: Forest fruit gum in the purple phenotype, with a strong background of fermented lemon; the green phenotype is sweeter and more caramelly. The effect is very powerful and complex — Sativa/Indica lasting about 4 hours that begins with happy, energetic and creative sensations and ends with intense relaxation.
