Guawi
Also known as: Guawi F1, Old Malawi Killer x Tikal
What is the Guawi strain?
Guawi is a sativa cannabis strain with up to 23.0% THC, known for its cerebral effects and floral and mango flavor profile.
Guawi is a powerful pure sativa F1 hybrid created by ACE Seeds through the crossing of Old Malawi Killer with their refined F5 Tikal line. This limited edition strain represents a masterful combination of African and Central American sativa genetics, bringing together the legendary potency of Malawi with the refined structure and fruity characteristics of Guatemalan Tikal genetics. The strain was developed to improve upon previous versions, offering enhanced vigor, yield, and stability while maintaining the devastating psychoactive power for which the Malawi parent is renowned.
The plant exhibits classic sativa characteristics with an open, branched structure that can grow quite large, particularly when given ample space and time. Guawi produces dense, resinous flowers covered in trichomes, a trait inherited from the Malawi mother which ACE Seeds describes as their oldest and most powerful sativa clone. The strain shows excellent mold resistance and thrives particularly well in outdoor environments with warm climates, though it can be successfully grown indoors with adequate space and intense lighting. The flowering period extends 11-12 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests typically occurring in early November, making this a strain for patient growers seeking exceptional quality over quick turnover.

How do you grow Guawi?
Guawi is recommended for intermediate to advanced growers due to its long flowering time and sativa growth characteristics. The strain requires 11-12 weeks to flower indoors and finishes outdoors in early November. It performs exceptionally well outdoors in warm climates, showing excellent mold resistance and the ability to produce very high yields when given sufficient space. Indoor cultivation requires intense lighting and ample room for the plants to stretch. The strain responds well to SOG (Sea of Green) methods due to excellent main cola production, or SCROG (Screen of Green) techniques for maximizing lateral branch yields. Plants benefit from moderate feeding throughout their lifecycle, with particular attention to PK boosts during early and mid-flowering phases. Expect vigorous growth with strong branching and a classic sativa structure that can become quite large if not managed properly.
