Katins's Sativa Micro Grow Adventure: Durban Poison

[Katins]

Most Durban's have had crosses mixed in to reduce flower time. I have Cannabiogen Durban and I'm curious what the real flower time is on it.

Yeah, I know. But 7,5 weeks... insanely short, in my personal experience with my 10 week WW's

Coming along perfectly K!

Many things may speed a plant up - are you still on 12/12? I know reducing the light even more can maybe move things along.

If it were mine I’d be thinking about 3-7 days or so... but I’d be checking every day. I don’t mind a few amber on the racier ones so if the amber don’t escalate much I’d let it go even longer. All about preference now.

Where did yours come from again, the breeder?

High, Amy!
Yeah I am still on 12/12. Well, sunday morning is just in the sweetspot of that 3-7 days period you're suggesting
Cool, 3 matching opinions, is a good indicator of an upcoming chop party

Oh, I wish I knew. It is a gift from a friend, who brought it from a trip to Amsterdam many years ago.. so I presume it is most likely Dutch located seed shop/bank. And this is pretty much it. Although it was packed in a ziplock baggy with Humboldt Seeds label and Bubbas Gift written on it, there was a pencil handwriting saying it is Durban Poison. And the friend confirmed that he is sure it is Durban Poison. And it seems to be true, as Bubbas Gift is indica, and this one sure did not behave indica like at all
Complicated a bit, eh?

Dutch Passion maybe? They have a Durban that finishes quick.

Might be. Would make sense.

 

[Pennywise]

It's supposed to be a killer chemovar.

 

[Katins]

Just checked their site, and the bud pic they advertise the seeds with shows almost identical bud structure as mine, just without the purple colors. So might be.
Also, some of the review pictures uploaded by clients show purple plants. So maybe there are two phenos circling around.

 

[Pennywise]

They said some phenos show purple.

Well, then I think we may have gotten ourselves a solved case here

I think you could take her anytime katins I don't think your ever going to have mostly cloudy without having quite a few ambers imo ===pw your Durban is 70-98 days mine from 420 says its pure sativa but they don't list flower times it says it will be done the end of september or October outdoors but im growing it indoors so will see but im thinking 8-10 weeks!

 

[kelticBlue]

Absolutely yummy trich shots.
I always try to wait a week after I think it is ready but usually life interferes with my plans.

 

[Pennywise]

Sativas mature differently, the rarely produce a lot of amber.

I think so too just good to see numerous confirmations

Haha, yeah, try is the right word
Well, I can make it to sunday, I'll mark it as good effort.. haha

 

[Pennywise]

You did good waiting on her! Lol

 

[SlyTown420]

I can't take the suspense!

 

[Katins]

Morning everyone.
Took a quick shot of the lowest bud on the plant and yep, chop time is bound for this weekend.

 

[Eirohir]

I don't know why this is the most exciting part lol.

Will you take a few photos of the trim and storage when the time comes?

 

[Lerugged]

Yeeha. She finished up quickly. Just about beat my big lady by a couple days. I was wondering what was happening as she was ripening up super quickly all through flower. Not much to sampler test so your rule is a good one.
