Malawi Gold 2004 is a seed accession of Malawi Gold, a cannabis line that Afropips sold on its website by August 2004. The page headed the line "Original NKHOTAKOTA", called it a "Pure Landrace Sativa" from Malawi and offered ten seeds for £20.[1]
Geography
The 2004 page names Nkhotakota and no other place. It does not say whether it means the town of Nkhotakota or Nkhotakota District, in the Central Region of Malawi, which contains the town.[1] By October 2004 the place name had gone from the heading, which called the line "A GRADE".[2]
History
Afropips said that its seed was "only available from the Top Malawi Gold Growers in Malawi". It set this against wild seed "Gleened from Inferior Cob that are exported to South Africa".[1] A photograph on the page showed a Malawi cob, which the caption said was "Traditionaly Bound in Cured Maize Leaf then Buried".[1] In December 2004 the page offered ten seeds for $40 with the line "Buy it on C-Bay".[3]
The business also used the line in its hybrids; in 2009 its Power Malawi was based on "the especially spicey psychoactive Afropips Malawi Gold (IBL)".[4] The page of 2010 called it "Superior First Grade Malawi Gold" and said that it had been selected over ten years of work with Malawi's leading growers. It again set the seed apart from seed taken from the cobs "offered to the tourists & exported to South Africa & the First World".[5] In December 2010 the shop on afropips.com sold ten seeds of a product named Malawi for £20.[6]
Afropips also sold Malawi Mini, which it called a shorter version of the line (2004 AFP Malawi Mini IBL).[7] The listing of the Malawi Gold sold by The Real Seed Company (RSC), Malawi Gold 2019 IBL, names its source in the words "Afropips, via collector community". RSC says that Jim of Afropips kept the line outside Malawi for decades.[8]
Cultivation Details
The 2004 page listed a flowering time of "70 days +".[1] The page of 2010 listed 90 to 120 days of 12/12 indoors in the Northern Hemisphere, after up to ten days of vegetative growth for a plant of four to six feet. Grown outdoors in the Southern Hemisphere, it said, the plant reached up to 4 metres.[5] The description on SeedFinder lists a flowering period of 14 to 16 weeks and a harvest in November.[9]
