Growers Comments:
“Malawi is the spaciest smoke I've ever had. I used to have this thing that happened a few times as a
teenager where I'd get some killer smoke from AFOAF that would literally make me blind for 20 minutes to a
half hour within 10 minutes of smoking it, a little too much too quick. Malawi is that kind of smoke. Its like
your still there but vision changes to lights and shadows and sounds become muted. You will see flashes of
light and things in your peripheral vision will catch your eyes. The high was fast without all the physical
sensations of the indicas. Darkest leaves I've ever seen, almost look black. I pulled em at 75 days with
20-30% could have went another month to round out the buzz. Yield was similar to Durban, not much but
worth the wait if that’s what you like. For me it's the kind of smoke you'd take out to get a reaction and they
will vary, it's too much if overdone.” - Frank
“AFOAF grew hers out when Greenthumb first brought them out last year. Leaves were enormous and the
darkest green(looked black) I've ever seen. Took em unfinished at 85 days(20% turned). This is definitely
personal head stash and one to take out for special occasion. The high was like tripping for me, lots of visual
effects and somewhat short lived. I made the mistake of smoking an indica shortly after coming down from
the Malawi and I couldn't move for a couple of hours. Can be a typical unruly sativa to grow requiring lots of
attention. Worth the effort if that’s what you're looking for, I prefer a more rounded and much mellower
buzz.” - Frank

Growers Comments:
“Outdoors Summer Report: This baby definitely has Sativa in its genes. 6 feet and will probably add another
foot before its done. Big Christmas tree type plant. Buds are bursting out from every possible node! Even the
lower branches are putting on bud weight! Awesome....only wish I had a Tropical sun.” -Sensi
Strain: Power Plant
Strain Type: Mostly Sativa Origin: South Africa Breeder: Dutch Passion Seedbank
Images: 1 2 3 4 5 6
Description:
Power Plant (mostly Sativa) was developed in 1997 from new South African genetics. This strain has been
inbred only, never hybridized. Very rich in THC. It is a strain with an enormous grow potential. Indoor as well as
in a greenhouse the plants have an enormous yield. Indoors flowering starts already one week after turning
back the light cycle to 12 hours. Outdoor flowering starts late, but the plants ripen very fast. This variety is very
uniform. Strong “up high”, very soft smoke.
Specifications:
~ Flower: 8 weeks ~ Harvest: 2nd week of Oct.” – Dutch Passion catalog
Growers Comments:
“I grew one Power Plant outdoors at the 39th. The seed was germinated on July 1st, and finished on Sept. 24
at 15 inches tall. I was quite happy with both the potency and yield. If it had been a tall, full season plant; the
yield probably would have been enormous. The plant grew more like an indica then I expected, but had a very
good, long lasting sativa up high to it. Unfortunately, I lost all the other seedlings, and failed to regenerate the
mother after harvest. I did, however, get a few seeds from crossing her with a Thai male, but that hybrid won't
grow outdoors in my area. It seemed to me that power plant was exactly like the description at H.S. said it was,
except the plant finished 2 weeks earlier, and looked about half indica. I wish I had more of it.” – 67ed
“Let me preface this by stating I have 8 yrs of gardening experience. I found that it was a bit temperamental
to start the seedlings. Of the 6 of ten that survived = 1 tall male, 1 short male, 1 tall female ( with slight but
controllable hermie traits ) 1 short total female and 2 very hermie "females". And even though it s described
as a indoor/ greenhouse stock it can become a big plant very quickly with some plants exhibiting the typical
sativa structure. The 1 short female looks like it will produce well even though I only used an 8 in. pot for the
trial run.
The harvest is about 2 weeks away so more detailed info at that time. It is a fairly branchy plant and might do
well in a ScrOG set up. If the result is of high quality , I will devote a hydro farm unit to it the next go round to
see how the totals compare to the much more indica stock that is most of the room, maybe just as personal
stash. Now I will not say that I am beyond mistakes but I had very bad survival rates with the first batch in peat
pellets and much better results the second germination round using oasis cubes instead of peat pellets. The
seeds are very small and produce very small seedlings that need a little more pampering than more robust
seedlings. Of course there are always new things to learn when working with a new stock.” – Rippo
“Hermies tendency, not rich in resin, medium in power and shit to grow.” – elman
“I had a good experience growing power plant outdoors. I only grew one female so I can't say about
uniformity. I was surprised that it appeared mostly indica, but for me, the high was up, visual, and a little bit
soaring too. Also, it finished two weeks before(Sept 23) the description said it would.” – 67ed
“Power plant was very hermy and might do for outside or green house but IMO not good for indoor. The high
was good and uppy but not "soaring". I have dropped it from this next go round.”

Quality Seeds catalog
“I looked in both of my SSSC catalogs (1987-88, 1989-90) and they did not offer a SWAZI strain. The only
South African strain that they listed was a PineTown Durban Poison (M3). As for item # M5. It doesn’t exist in
my catalogs. Their listings are M1 Napali, M2 Manilla Fillipino, M3 Durban, and M6 Indica-creeper hybrid. I then
checked out my Original Seed Bank catalogs from the same time period. Nevil offered a Swazi strain (pure) for
the first time in Nov. of 1987. It is listed again in his 1988 catalog. By 1989, Swazi (pure) is no longer being
offered. (One Swazi hybrid that was introduced in 1988, is still listed in his 89 catalog, HashPlant/NL#1 X
SWAZI).” – Prince Caspian
