  1. This is my third season growing. 3 plants on the right are apparently pure Durban Poisen, and the plants on the right are my own hybrid.

    I am hoping to get 3 plants to harvest on these, will kull any that are sickly, male or lagging.

    Unlike last year, I will not be growing these in the ground, but in pots.

    Also, I have a new grow area, with better sun. I will be erecting a roof using green house sheeting. In my area, the rainiest time of the year is around harvest. I have been struggling with bud rot and mildew. I hope the roof will cut down on moisture. 20200915_163712.jpg

  2. Today I transplanted the seedlings to bigger pots, their home until they can be sexed.

    When do I start using nutrients (kelp) on these babies?

  3. Plants are doing well. We are having a major heatwave at the moment, and I am worried about the stress it is causing to these little ones, but they are managing the 34c temp just fine 20200924_130029.jpg 20200924_130014.jpg 20200924_130009.jpg 20200924_130003.jpg 20200924_125959.jpg 20200924_125953.jpg 20200924_125947.jpg 20200924_125931.jpg 20200924_125915.jpg

  4. Juat had the worst weather, 3 days of solid rais and no sun. The sun has poked its head through the clouds but there is more raid coming.

    All plants all doing well, no issues noted. Am going to top these off soon 20200929_142030.jpg 20200929_142042.jpg 20200929_142050.jpg 20200929_142058.jpg 20200929_142105.jpg 20200929_142113.jpg 20200929_142120.jpg 20200929_142128.jpg 20200929_142134.jpg

  5. Plantsaa doing well. Lost some due to the fucking Bush Buck eating them, but seem to have that under control now.

    Germinating 6 Durban Poisen seeds bought from Motherland Genetics. They should be breaking ground tonight and will add them to this journal.

    I am using Bioneem for the first time this year and using Cannabiz Liquid Compost through seedling and veg. Image.jpg 20201016_155530.jpg 20201016_160214.jpg 20201016_154603.jpg 20201016_154553.jpg 20201016_154542.jpg 20201016_154532.jpg 20201016_154522.jpg 20201016_154515.jpg

  6. Plants are looking great. Think the heat got to them but it is overcast tomorrow and they are due for nuts 20201018_171949.jpg 20201018_171939.jpg 20201018_171927.jpg 20201018_171916.jpg 20201018_171903.jpg

  7. Just topped them for the last time. I always top my plants, but this year will be the first time I manifold train them. 20201021_095113.jpg 20201021_095106.jpg 20201021_095100.jpg 20201021_095053.jpg 20201021_095044.jpg

  8. Plants are ok. We have had the worst weather. We also have monkeys that love to pull my smaller plants out the ground, thus the cage. Two plants with the cage and grey pots are bought Durban Poison, femenised but not autos. Others are the same unnamed strain I have been growing for years. 20201112_112712.jpg 20201112_112705.jpg 20201112_112656.jpg 20201112_112646_001.jpg 20201112_112639.jpg 20201112_112630.jpg 20201112_112621.jpg

  9. I have planted my bag seed strain into the ground and yesterday I did the final tie down. Now I will let them grow up.

    The potted plants are beans that I bought, Durban Poisen. The one was eaten by a bush buck, but I think it will live 20201129_112510.jpg 20201129_112518.jpg 20201129_112528.jpg 20201129_112537.jpg 20201129_112545.jpg 20201129_112608.jpg 20201129_112613.jpg

  10. Seem to be picking an issue with the DP Landrace. The edges of the leaves are drying out. Any clue? 20201129_112634.jpg

  11. I like the training.
    I think I will try something like that next year in my not yet constructed wide flat mini greenhouse.
     
  12. Kinda failed to keep this years journal up to date. Ok, so here is the update. I had a lot of bad luck this year. Out of all the plants I struck, there were only two females.

    This year I used biobloom and bioneem for the first time. I hit some problems with the one plant picking up mildew and black spot. Bioneem sorted out this issue. I cannot say that the biobloom produced bigger buds or more of them but is it obvious that the buds are more dense, and there is way more Tricones. What ya all think.

    Pic 1 is a local hybrid that I grow every yeah called Swamani Poison. The second is Durban Poison Landrace from Motherland Gentics the buds are smaller but look so yummy

  13. Durban is such a good outdoor strain. One of my neighbors grows around a dozen of them exclusively every year.

    Looking very yummy :weed::thumbsup:

    Looking good.
     
  16. What is interesting is that I am 75km away from Durban and you would thing that DP likes the climate seeing that it is from here. The plant however struggled. Got their at the end of the day, but there was issues

  17. I am like 95% colour blind and can never tell if my buds are starting to ripen. The Stipules have browned and fallen off, well, most of them 20210331_134134.jpg 20210331_134038.jpg
