Metal Malawi
Metal Malawi Strain Overview
Metal Malawi is a potent sativa-dominant cannabis strain that originates from the African landrace strain Malawi Gold. This strain was developed by breeders seeking to preserve and enhance the unique characteristics of traditional African sativas while creating a more manageable plant for cultivation. The name 'Metal' reflects its intense, long-lasting effects that users describe as powerful and energizing.
Metal Malawi plants are tall and lanky, typical of pure sativa genetics, with long internodal spacing and narrow, spear-shaped leaves. The buds are airy and elongated, covered in a generous layer of trichomes that give them a frosty appearance. The coloration ranges from light green to golden hues, with occasional orange pistils weaving through the dense floral clusters. The strain has a flowering time of 12-14 weeks, which is characteristic of landrace sativas.
Notable features of Metal Malawi include its cerebral, uplifting effects that are often described as clear-headed and creative. The strain has gained recognition among sativa enthusiasts for its authentic African genetics and its ability to provide sustained energy without the anxiety sometimes associated with high-THC sativas. Due to its pure sativa lineage, it remains relatively rare compared to more common hybrid strains.

Metal Malawi Strain Growing Information
Metal Malawi is considered a challenging strain for novice growers due to its pure sativa characteristics. The plants can reach heights of 2-3 meters (6-10 feet) outdoors and require significant vertical space indoors. Flowering time is long at 12-14 weeks. Preferred growing conditions include warm, dry climates similar to its native African environment. The strain performs well both indoors and outdoors but requires careful training techniques like SCROG or LST to manage height. Expected yields are moderate to high with proper care. The plants are resistant to most common molds and pests but require good air circulation due to their dense bud structure.
