Durban Poison Update

[RastaKaze]

She's five days old, and her name is Hardonna (In honor of 9skis, and in commemoration to HD). You will be remembered :) ... Anyway you can see her second set of leaves coming out now, and she's goin' purple! Not sure if it's my grow room or the genetics but durban poison is the first strain to go purple on me... And so early too. She smells incredibly pungent, I'm already noticing a distinct pot smell... Whaddaya think? :D

Peace

[budman2000]

wow, does it smell like a.............plant???LOL just kidding dude, ive never had a plant that small thats smelled before. Must be a good plant, keep up the good work.

[RastaKaze]

Yea it's the only one out of the four I have that smells so far... And the oldest, but only by a day or so, meaning I could have 3 others smelling just as good in the morning :) and boy does she grow fast. I'll have an update again on day 7 then once a week every week...

Peace

Looking forwrd to seeing your pics

[RastaKaze]

48 hours later... This young lady is now 7 days old :D I'll post more pics next week, so stay tuned!

[budman2000]

What kind of light are you using??

[RastaKaze]

the 400w EYE hortilux enhanced spectrum bulb

[budman2000]

Good choice of bulb, how close??

[RastaKaze]

11" off the top...

[Starseed]

Looking good rasta.

I dont know why ... I thought for a second that your plant was a lettuce plant ... Althought I am very stoned.

Good luck with the rest of your grow!

[Rekap]

fuzzy. looks good(jealous).

[budman2000]

Rasta maybe you should get your light closer, 4 to 5 inches from top, make sure a fan is blowing in between the top of the plant and the bulb.Happy growing!! :)

[RastaKaze]

BudMan, I can manage to get the lights 3 inches off the tops and still maintain a temp of 78... I was worried about over lighting so I was hesitant about getting the 400w so close... but seing as I maintain good temps either way, might as well get it as close as possible. My setup includes a fan drawing in air from outside, and as you know it's beggining to get cold in the northern states.. great for cooling down a hot bulb! :D Thanx for the advice

[budman2000]

Good decesion rasta and good luck

[RastaKaze]

C'mon. I wanna know what the pro's think! HD? Oh wait right... Mand? Marc? Anyone?! :(

[budman2000]

I wouldnt say that Im a pro but I have been growing for around 3 years. Your plant looks good dude, just keep doing what you are doing.

[mand]

C'mon. I wanna know what the pro's think! HD? Oh wait right... Mand? Marc? Anyone?! :(

Oh dear Rasta :) That raised a chuckle here love :)
I'll tell you how it is ;) I'm a utter amature who's just plain lucky when it comes to growing weed ;)

Anyway love "Harddona" looks absolutely fine to me, I reckon just keep doing what you're doing and you'll be really ok ;)

I'm looking forward to seeing her grow ;)


love mand xxx :)

MAN!

Is it true that Durban Poison is 100% sativa?

http://shop.grasscity.com/shop/grasscity/seedsdp0901.html

im thinking of getting some from my local headshop.

How tall do they get?

[RastaKaze]

Yep that's why I wanted to give it a go. It's gotta be a crazy smoke, I've never had a 100% sativa before :) Ultimately you control how tall they get.. rule of thumb is that they will at least triple in size when you put them into flowering, so make measurements. They're beasts :D

[RastaKaze]

Just thought I'd throw up a pic of my setup...

[sharpezor]

perfect! id put that reflective stuff in there tho.

really tho, nice set up.

[sharpezor]

please keep updating, my situation is going to be very simular to yours. Except the guy said he has "Durban Poison X G13" so it should be around the same thing.

[High grade stoner]

what they look like today

[RastaKaze]

perfect! id put that reflective stuff in there tho.

really tho, nice set up.

Flat white acrlyic paint also works really well.. non porous, reflective, and you don't get the same radiant heat you would with mylar... Keep in mind the door is open only for the pics.. Also high grade I can't take pictures every day on account of it's not my camera but this morning Hardonna's first 5 bladed leaves had formed, and the secondary branches are well on their way. I'll try to have a pic of those tommmorow.

Peace :D

[RastaKaze]

Close up of secondary growth on a 9 day old plant :D

[porkbellies]

just wondering if they are clones or you started from seeds? looking good

[RastaKaze]

They were started from nirvana's "durban poison" seeds

[sir dutch]

beutifull, simply beutifull :D

[RastaKaze]

HA! Made ya look. Updates in an hour :D

[RastaKaze]

Hardonna's two weeks old now. Secondaries have really been making alot of progress after I clipped the first two sets of leaves.. they've defnitely been appreciating the extra light. So, she's on going on her 5th node and she's grown 2 since the last update.. her stalk is short and fat and she's really starting to look like more of a shrub then a sprout.. :D I transplanted yesterday as she was really root bound.. I used soil with micro nutes and she showed a little nurtient burn on one of her leaves (I know, I know :o ) But this is really more of a learning experience, so I dont mind If I mess up a few times.. plus, I have more seeds on order from the doc :cool:

Peace

[turtle420]

Hey Rasta!

Nice shrub! I was wondering...
You say you clipped the first two sets of leaves... those would be the first two nodes?
She's 2 weeks old now, and she's on her 5th node...
Question man, on post #1 of this thread, when you say "five days old"... it's 5 days since you planted the seed? Or 5 days since they sprouted? Or 5 days since they popped out of the soil?

I'm intrigued because I'm on my day 7, and they don't look anywhere close to your day 5 @ post #1.... :(

Hey sublime dude, I'd like to have a couple of shrubs just like yours... Please leave feedback over in my thread if you'd like.

I'm thinking, that it's probably the lights... I'm using shitloads of CFLs... instead of a perfectly good 400MH I got over there in the corner.

Thanks for the input.

Later,

-turtle420 :cool:

PS: Plants are looking enviable!

[RastaKaze]

In the first pic in the thread they are 5 days from me seeing their little heads popping up. As HD said, "if you can see them they can see light," so as soon as one seed popped I kept the lights on until all the other did.. And yeah I clipped the leaves of the first two nodes off, notice in the third pic the secondary branch emerging from the snipped off one? I'm on my way over to your thread now man..

[alkbud]

Just thought I'd throw up a pic of my setup...


yo really nice step up and everything yo!!! they lookin' sweet. think oyu should get the lights under a reflector so that the plants get more light and especially since the most light comes from the horizontal side of the bulb. get a lil reflective material in there. HAPPY GROWING!!!!

peace.

[RastaKaze]

I have one on the way.. Should be installed by the time my next project is up and running (about a week) Lowryder SOG :D

[RastaKaze]

Hardonna got her first taste of superthrive water today (2 drops to a gallon) gonna start weak to begin... her growth had really taken off 12 hours after her first water w/superthrive. also got some high nitrogen peruvian seabird guano (10-10-2) she's gonna have her first quart of guano tea on week three.. I plan on vegging her for 2 months+ then starting with the cactus juice for flower.. i love you 9skis :D

[mand]

Hello Rasta :) is this the right thread :o

I have to say Harddona is looking super :) Affraid I can't comment on the nutrient side of thing's you know me I wouldn't know one from another :o

Keep us posted Rasta...................love mand xxx :)

[Green Fingered Rebel]

how come ur plant is tanking it? its that bulb aye?

[RastaKaze]

I'm not sure what you mean by tanking.. I'm using a 400w hortilux hps bulb

[jujufaxi]

hi RastaKaze

can you hook me up with some weed. im in nyc

[RastaKaze]

And I'm in the Netherlands... sorry man can't promote activities deemed illegal in your country :D

[RastaKaze]

She's 3 weeks old, but I can't give any updates... I moved her to my studio with 3 125 tru watt compact floros placed strategically around her.. I'll probably veg her for another month or so and then remove the floros and put her into flowering.. this'll happen automatically because she'll just receive the sunlight through the windows.. But do not critisize yet.. I guarantee you I get a TON of sun in my studio, I have a room in a triangular building, my room happens to be one of the few at the tip, and both walls on either side are entirely glass (obviously not clear glass, it's sand blasted to prevent snoops :D) Anyway the reason she had to go is because the start of a new project.. be on the lookout for an SOG thread folks .... :cool:

[turtle420]

A SoG from Rasta? I'm up for that... :)

[RastaKaze]

I threw 10 seeds into some ph'd drinking water yesterday around 7:00 PM. 9 sunk, 1 was embryo-less and I just spit 'em into a high quality peat and perlite mix.. Only a few days left :) I was thinking because lowrder's autoflowering I'd just throw in more sprouts as I chopped males.. This way I can ensure that every female get's optimum lighting during it's life.. Plus I get the joy of harvesting every day for a week or so when they all reach maturity :) lol

[turtle420]

Hey RastaKazeeeEEE !!!

What's uuuuuppppp?!!!

How are they coming along? ??


:) ;) :cool: :rasta: :smokin: :o :confused: :dance: :upsidedow :eek: :clap: :sadcrying :glugglug:


There... the entire family...

[RastaKaze]

Nicely.. wish I could share pics.. I think I might put them into flowering very soon because they are about a foot and a half now and I think they might shoot up pretty tall just because they are sativas and I don't wanna run out of space, but Im gonna give it atleast a week or two. The great thing is, I'll be using tons of natural light (she and the others get this even now but only as long as the sun is out, after it goes down all they're getting is cfl) for flowering + I have huge air vents in my studio so It'll basically be more of an outdoor grow :D I'll be thrilled to get anything off of them, what I'm really devoting my grow room to is my LR... I'll try to update on those soon :thumbsup:
