It grew really well & had oodles of crystals. When manicuring it and setting
it up to dry and cure it was very skunk like. Very heavy scented and all.
Now 3 weeks later and getting ready for my first taste to the match. I'll be
damned if it doesn't taste and smell like black licorice. I hate black
licorice with a passion. There was nothing around to pass it's flavor on. I
hope it is only this one container. Each container was new and cleaned out
before being used so it's not that. It is still very stoney weed. 2 - 3 hits
in the glass pipe, 1 good hit in the bong and spliffs or joints are just a
waste of good smoke.

Michael,

That's very common especially this time of year. There is "some kind of
fungus or bacteria" that got into the material and festered itself inside.
For storing the material for future use or competition purposes, I highly
recommend freezing the material a special way (described below) so that it
smells and tastes like it was dried yesterday. This only works with smaller
quantities (an OZ or so per container at the most).

To freeze & unfreeze it properly:

(FREEZE)
1. First bag it, then bag it again, then bag it again. I use 2 or 3 high
quality zip log bags & suck out all of the air -- OR use one of those
automatic / electric devices that suck out all the air and seal it correctly
(doing this several times). Then I use some super plastic wrap to wrap it
several more times. I ultimately have about 5 or 6 bags safeguarding the
material so it doesn't become wet. I also suck out all the air out of each
bag by zipping up the bag to the corner, and then sucking out the air with
my mouth. Works great! Get all of the air out of the bags as possible!!

Put as much as you can spare into a mason jar and seal it up
tight and put it in a cool dark place. Let it sit for 6 months and see
what the flavor has become, it may be far better. Everything I grow
get's jarred for a minimum of 6 months and it's always enhanced the
flavor and the character of the smoke.
Now for me, black licorice would be a trip! I like that sort
of flavor. That is the cool thing about ganga, the flavor range is
virtually infinite!

An amazing plant for sure! But I don't like licorice either. ;-)

I read, in Cannabible (?) that Malawi Gold tasts like licorice! Hmm?

"Real" Malawi, in the form of the cob, tastes somewhat like
banannas because of the Malawi Gold Cob curing method of wrapping big
buds in bananna leaves. Mmmmmm, what I wouldn't give to smoke one of
those actual cobs! That is a treat rarely afforded people without some
incredible connections (probably the same way one would come about
Hawiian-grown Mowie Wowie; yeah, that hard to come by!).

When I was there back in the 80's -- we had quite a bit of it. I referred
to it as "fruit loop" weed because the colors of the hairs encircling the
weed was incredible! There were purple, red, orange, and other various
colors resembling the cereal "fruit loops". It was a mild sativa high that
caused one to laugh a great deal. It had a real fruity / banana flavor that
resonated in your mouth even after smoking it. It was really sweet and had
a really sweet smell as well as flavor. As far as strength; in retrospect,
it wasn't that strong but there were really very few strains that were
considered Strong back then. Of course Panama Red was among one of the
strength contenders. Panama Red is gone even from Panama now. I lived
there for a number of years in the 1990's and the...

Yeah, the stuff here in L.A. they call Malawi (Gold?) or Maui Wowie, may
be from those seeds/clones strains, but may NOT taste the same as "real"
ones!?? Not sure.

I read that some seedbanks carry Panama Red & Acapulco Gold, but not
sure IF it's the same as before . . . it may be a new strain of it.
