Malawi Black
Malawi Black Strain Overview
Malawi Black is a rare sativa-dominant hybrid cannabis strain developed by ScareCrow Seeds through crossing two legendary landrace strains: Malawi Gold from southeastern Africa and Colombian Black from the highlands of Colombia. This strain represents a unique fusion of African and South American cannabis genetics, combining the intense cerebral effects of Malawi Gold with the powerful psychoactive properties of Colombian Black. The strain inherits the long flowering time characteristic of equatorial sativas, requiring 10-14 weeks to reach maturity depending on the phenotype. Malawi Black embodies the characteristics of its parent strains, featuring the complex terpene profile and resinous nature of Malawi Gold alongside the distinctive dark purple coloration and fruity aromatics that can be found in certain phenotypes of Colombian Black. As a landrace hybrid, it maintains many of the hardy characteristics of its parent strains, showing good resistance to environmental stresses while requiring patience due to its extended flowering period.

Malawi Black Strain Growing Information
Malawi Black is suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation but requires significant patience due to its 10-14 week flowering period. Indoor growers should expect plants to grow quite tall, potentially requiring training or pruning to manage height. The strain shows good resistance to mold, mildew, and pests inherited from its landrace genetics. Outdoor cultivation works best in warm, tropical or subtropical climates with harvest typically occurring in late October to early November. The strain can be challenging for novice growers due to its long flowering time and height potential, but experienced cultivators will be rewarded with resinous, potent flowers. Plants may show phenotypic variation including green and purple colorations inherited from the Colombian Black parent.
