hi all , finally smoking the last bit of the bud i got from this years plants wow it sounds like i smoke quickly but no i actually got bugger all in the first place. the problem seemed to be bad weather combined with a late finishing strain. not all doom and gloom tho ;-) what i did get was quite a nice smoke and i even made a wee bit of hash from the trim.it was my first grow attempt and at least i got some free smoke. for next years grow i was considering something like durban poison does anyone have any experience with this strain in the uk id like to hopefully grow it in a large container in a well vented greenhouse. thanks in advance .
Too bad it's all gone! Better luck next year. Well, Durban is not the earliest strain but I heard it was a good one (potent and tasty). "Early Durban" also exists at Flying Dutchman or Dutch Passion. Normal Durban Poison is mostly a sativa (from South Africa) I think, so you might get the same problem. I'd try an earlier flowering hybrid (50 indica/50 sativa): early biddy (magus genetics) is an early strong one -good reputation- , early skunk (Sensi) -check it out too-, WW (GHS) -excellent quality- are early and strong too. Some 100% indicas don't flower early and can have a too dense structure for our outdoors (those are usually labaled indoors so don't get those). You need a loose type of bud structure, ok? So the hybrids are good for early harvest, shorter size than durban sativa for ex, and loose (but tight and heavy!) buds. I'd definitely get an early kind. You might not even need the greenhouse. Some Uk growers here will help you out also.
Check out "Northern Lights" or "Early Misty" I'll be growing northern lights next year along with some other strains. But NL's seems like it would do excellent in the UK. Peace...
thanks guys ill be looking into these options definetley want nice early plants thats me pointed in the right direction
