Anyone have tips for growing Pure Power Plant (Nirvana), Satori (mandala), or NLxC99 (Joey)? I'm starting those soon.
Right now I'm working with Moroccan x Afghani and Durban Poison (both from Nirvana), so tips for those would be greatly appreciated as well.
One thing I noticed about DP is that it can only take about half-strength ferts, and even then you're at risk of burning them. A lot of people seem to have trouble with this strain, but I think that's because they're growing them from free seed (my free DP seeds had a 40% germ rate and only 75% of the ones that sprouted survived past the first two weeks. the ones I bought had a 100% germination rate and 100% survival). Also, the buds keep their anise flavor despite Nirvana's strain being crossed with skunk #1. The heights of the DP weren't uniform (there was up to a 1ft difference in height between some female plants, 2 months old), as I expected since I ordered from Nirvana. Despite testing for a low percentage of THC, the bud was top-notch. It gives a clear-headed, cerebral, uplifting high. Cured, it smells like anise accompanied with a sharp citrus-like smell that can make your nose tingle a little. Some phenos also have a slight skunky smell in that mix, but from my experience it all has the same high (though some phenos left me a little burnt out while others had no noticeable burnout).
