Now seeing the finish product, it doesn't look much at all like the purple durban we had years ago. Looks alot more like a shaman to me. Which is an alright variety if you find the right pheno. Just wanted to touch base since we had discussed it before a little.
pretty pretty!
Thanks for the follow-up Roosta. Im not familiar with Shaman? I dont think this Durban Poison turned out to be like anything like anyone was expecting here. Certainly not me. I still hope to get genetic testing done on it to hopefully shine some light on its origins.
Sorry Get Mo, but a detailed smoke report wont be coming up for at least two more weeks. That should put it at lil over a month drying & curing. Right now I dont think a smoke report right now would do her justice. Although I have enjoyed the smoke from DP-D thus far. Ill get to sample DP-M in maybe 4 days. She's been-hang drying for 4 days or so. Something else for you to look forward to. Ill get pics of her up tonight.
If you think they're pretty now, wait till round 2, and 3! The first time around is just my test-run. They'll really look nice over their next two runs.
I should be able to move DP-D Clone into the flowering room inside of a month. Im stoked for round two with that lovely lady.
thought she was pretty when alive! I am purple with envy. Great job bro!
I like your play on words.
Maybe I should do a Weed Calendar with all my prettiest ladies..hehe. Thanks for the follow up EB. I have a hard time believing this is the type of Durban Poison most are familiar with. Maybe its a Durban/Skunk hybrid instead of a pure sativa. Very pungent and stinky like Skunk, and does remind me at times of Mr. Nice Shit when I sniff some of them but not all of them smell this way.
I dont know where the deep purple comes from though. I had some light to medium purpling on Mr. Nice Shit, but never deep purple these DP show.
No experience with Rooibart. I wish I did though
Thanks window for the input. Id rather others provide knowledge & experience when they have it. Especially, when Im lacking experience with Rooibart.
Sorry Ive been kinda neglecting the thread lately gang. I get burned out from time to time, and need a break away, but Im puffing on a bunch of 175 Day Flowered Thai Stick Sativa, so that should provide me some energy I need to get some other updates up tonight.
Now back to that for sure Pure Sativa..
Day 120 Flowering TSG Update
Day 120 Flowering TSG Update
Im starting off with Thai Stick G tonight everyone. She's been neglected in the thread, and looks kinda neglected too with all the fan leaves she has lost to an N deficiency. Tonight, I shook her trunk, and a dozen leaves fell from her. Mostly small fan leaves as the larger ones have mostly been cannibalized by the plant at this point.
Ive not done the best job of keeping her fed, so Ive decided to run nutrients again my my reservoir at 200ppm. Im not sure thats enough for the Thai right now, but it appears to be enough for the Durban, as EC levels are raising in their media, but still declining in TSA, and TSG saw a slight increase. Never a good idea to have two vastly different flowering varieties on the same feed res if you can help it.
This lady likely has another two months in her, but Ill re-evaluate at Day 180 Flowering, before making any decision to chop on schedule.
Ive only got a couple pics of her buds this time guys, but you can definitely see the difference in bud structure compared to TSA. Huge difference, and an even heavier feeder.

Thai Stick A Clone Update Day 44
Thai Stick A Clone Update Day 44
Well I jumped the gun a little on this lady. I said I would update on her after a month, but Im about 20 days ahead of schedule. She's finally kicked into flowering at this point, and I wanted you all to see the beginning of those long sexy foxtails that will show up later, and there's gonna be alot of them by the looks of her. Ill try to get a good over-head shot of her soon. Maybe a shot or two of the group as well.
This time around Im not going to go 200+ days. Ill be looking to harvest her when the buds/foxtails are still green and terpene rich before any yellowing of calyxes begin. Exactly when that will be..get back to me later on that. Taking the mom to 200+ days likely hasn't been ideal, but fun anyways. Got to earn my 200 Day flowering badge.
This lady has been picking up her nutrient demands quite a bit these last ten days. PPM levels have gone from a LITTLE over 2K, to UNDER 1K in that time frame. Which is why Im running nutrients in my reservoir(200ppm) again to help maintain fertility levels closer to 1500ppm in the soil solution. She'll end up looking like TSG, devoid of fan leaves and yellow within a month if I dont get it back up. It must be done slowly as trying to close that gap in one feeding can invite disaster with terrible regrowth.

Durban Poison - M Harvest Update
Durban Poison - M Harvest Update
Its time to share some images of DP-M right before the chop. She is the one who started throwing more nanners than I was comfortable with a couple of weeks ago, so I moved her into my veg tent to finish her off. She continued to flower normally in there for half a month, and swelled up nicely at the top.
I dont often move plants from flowering to the veg tent to finish flowering, but it works well if you only need 2-3 more weeks of continued development with no reveg occuring. It works very well on males too if you remove them from the flower room right before they drop pollen. Ill show off what I mean in my next update on my ONLY intersex free male..thus far.
Once more nanners started showing up in the main cola, so I decided it was time to chop. The lowers need more time to fully develop, but Im pretty happy with how the main cola came out. I kept the lowest two branches to reveg her so I can play around with her some more, and at least give her a round two in the future.
She blows away her siblings in girth. Clearly the chunkiest of all my ladies in the group. Not even close. Id love to see how she'd look with another two weeks under her belt.
For now though, I think its time to provide some pics everyone. Enjoy.

Durban Poison Male Update
Durban Poison Male Update
About a month-ish ago, I moved my 3 durban males into the flowering room, and allowed them to get right up until they were about to drop pollen, then switched them over to the veg tent. Its been around two weeks since then give or take a few days, and they've continued to flower as expected.
Out of the three, one threw out pistils about 5 days in, the second male in the white trashcan spit out pistils a few days later.
Only the one on the right has remained a true-blue male. One possibly pure male from 20 seeds...ouch. Im still thankful though. I believe this one is the one that had my favorite fan leaves among the males. The squat indica looking fan leaves. Im very happy that he's the ONE.
The one on the left, is intersex and I stopped watering it many days prior to these pics. He should be dead by now, but still hanging on thanks to the water reserves in Calcined DE. Stuff is really showing its merit when plants are under drought conditions.
You may be wondering why the trashcans..well I had the brilliant idea of letting them flower inside of trashcans and collect the pollen from the bottom of the can when done. I tried to keep them below the lip of the cans, but failed to take into account how much stretch there would be.
It was a PITA to water without disturbing the plants. Even a gentle tap would cause a cascade of pollen falling downwards. As long as the container is tall enough, and the plant far enough down, I dont think there is a great chance of pollen escaping and ruining everything. Ill know in a couple of months when I harvest my next batch of plants!
Weird way to collect pollen perhaps, but with a bit of tweaking I think I can make it work. I thought about a piece of acrylic across the top with some holes drilled through for some air exchange to still occur, rather than having the open top like I have now. Anyone got a spare trashcan and want to try it out heh.
Pollen time
Ive got plenty of pollen to play with now..Ive already dusted one bud of TSG. Will dust TSA and the other 3 Thai when they're ready. I can't wait to grow out those seeds, and ill definitely journal them for anyone curious.

Isnt that often the way Dave,
some of the best are intersexed ..
did u check out the nanas close to see if any pollen was a flight??
be interesting to put her/him aside as a test subject if it were possible for further scrutiny if it wasnt throwing any dust around , even if ,, just to see how it may fare in other circumstances , as it ages etc ... something tells me these things are worth sussing out more thoroughly before we jump to conclusions over their "worth" ....

I dont know if its the Durban or not, but I can't wrap my head around the end of that sentence. Can you elaborate for me.
Dont worry about me throwing away the intersex males. Before I flowered the males, I took multiple cuttings of each male, and was blessed to have nearly all of them take root after 3 weeks. They'll be kept around to play further with
. Oddly enough, all of the clones of one particular male, that had ball sacks going into the cloning process, has only white sparkly pistils spitting out at each internode instead of any male organs.....Talk about a gender-bender. I can even see at the bottom of the plant where I snapped off the old developing pollen sacks, but now its as if the plant has done a complete 180 and appears strictly female now. That'll be one to follow up on for sure.
ohh i meant male sacs with pollen on them ,, sorry Dave , its been a long day ..
nice to know you are looking deeper ,
im sure we will wrap our heads around the intersexed deal at some point ..
always a pleasure man ...
