Hi guys. So you've grown some awesome bud? Good... i have a few questions.

I was wondering who here has grown a Durban Strain? Durban, Durban Poison, or any cross with the distinctive Durb smell. I have some Durban X Skunk 1 that was grown out a little while back, and it has a very strong aroma. I was wondering what part of that is the durban and which is the skunk, and moreover i'm curious as to other strains that are like it. Anyone know a strain that's similar to a Durban?

And really that's it. It's a nice smell, and it was a fluke that i even got to have it, i just gotta get some more.. :cool:

Ok man, but your first grow could be a little wierd unless you a sorta a natural gardener. Then tons of stuff matters for growing. You need a light sealed area to flower. You need a hps light. Don't even bother getting under a 400W, if so just buy your weed instead. Why? Growing takes tons of time to read, so you do it right. www.overgrow.com if you haven't heard that one yet you should. I don't know if that durban skunk strain is a sativa or indica, but you should really read up on the differences because they grow differently. I guess some people grow soil, but hydro is way easier to not over fertilize, water, and the speed is faster.

I think the easiest way is an ebb and flow table. But then you have risk of mold on rockwool if you use the traditional method. You can you net pots on the tables instead which hold the plant so you don't have that probelm.

The other way that is fun is dwc. All you do is get some buckets or rubbermaid and cut wholes with a utility knife for the net pots. Make sure you cut the wholes a good deal smaller the pot lid or it sucks when the plants get big. You can find special pots that have a thick lid, like these orchid pots or something. This is really only a probelm if you don't cut small holes or your plant is fricken huge, like a tree.

In both systems you aerate the nutrient solution. You want badass airpumps too. Don't even waste you time with non commercial kinds either. You want minimum the most badass aquairum pump with dual outputs but the king for small growers is the general hydroponics quad air pump. For $60, you can handle just about most growing situations. You say that is high for $, but giving your plants lots of o2 in the roots only benefits the plants at least in dwc. Oh that is the better part about dwc over ebb and flow, the roots always get air. I was dicking around with the walmart pumps for awhile. They have a decent dual pump for $20. The general hydroponics pump is 5 times the power of the walmart pump though. With the walmart pump you can do two 20 gallon rubber maids. With the general hydroponic pump you can drive 10 5 gallon buckets. I guess it depends on your grow size really but that air pump kicks some ass and only uses like 6 watts.

Cinderell 99, Ice, Afgani Shiva, Trance, Cali Orange Bud, this no smell sativa, and this Purple Power plant all growing now for my medical condition in CA. Man the Cinderall 99 is so ill, the plant grows so fast and strong. I can only grow sativas because the indicas grow too slow for me. Maybe I can find a indica strain that has some balls.

I think durban posion is a sativa. I know skunk is a sativa. Man my cindy smells like hawaiin punch it is so cool.

:cool: thanks man, but i'm plenty past my first grow. I put experienced herb growers on there cause i wanted someone with just a bit more experience than I, which reading through your post you just might be. The durb i'm talking about was an excellent plant, and i was curious cause I love that smell and want to see more strains like it.

The durb was similar to Afgani, but then it changed to something sweeter and spicier. Such a potent smell.

How's that Ice? It's going to be part of my collection shortly, and i can't wait.

Sativas have a longer flowering time. So are you saying that indicas grow slower in Veg er what?

that is total bs. It is all about the strain. Some strains own. A sativa grows 4x faster in veg. You get a 10 times bigger plant with a sativa vs a indica. So yield wise sativa is the only thing to grow. I guess indicas grow faster, better grow like 40+ plants to get a pound when you can grow like 3 sativas or less and have a pound.

Ice is cool, the pheno I got sorta grows bad though. It branches out at the bottom too much and requires heavy pruning to overcome this at least with the strain I have of ice. The afgani shiva that I have sucks, that plant just grows so slow and small it is sad. I guess it is a indica and I love sativa's so it is hard to love the indicas because they just are so small. I like the cindy 99 the best. Can't wait to smoke that stuff.

No offence Flux..But saying a Sativa will yeild a larger yeild then an Indica, is completly false. or even the otherway around.
Selective breeding is were it's at! This is why people practise with other strains, and cross them.
But what ever works for you my friend.
DWC is awsome for veg. growth. However when it comes time for the bloom cycle to begin, DWC has a slight problem. The roots are always wet which in the long run leaves the bud some-what under devolped. Not that you can't get a heavy harvest though.
For an all out race car, you'd want an aeroponic unit. However with such a system there comes a cost, which to me isn't worth it. I've had a 100 plants at one point in many type's of gardens. The aeroponic did a very nice job. But I wasn't impressed with the size of the unit vs. space, vs. dollar amount. vs. noise.
Where I'm at growing this plant is HIGHLY illegal. So I have to take that into consideration also.
IMO the best of both worlds come from a soiless mix. Organicly, or chem.

Yah I said strains are the most important thing to begin with. I like the way sativa's grow, long and tall + I prefer the high. So I was just sorta goin off that indica's aren't as fun to grow, because they are smaller plants at least. I never knew the yield issue with dwc. I am not having many probelms though. If you really care you could suspend the roots to an extent but who really cares.

I prefer Sativas too or mostly sativas :smile: Ya kinda confused me when talkin about indicas being slower tho. I gotchya now tho! I got some apollo 11 beans and some grapefruit. Also got a 100% indica (taskenti) from what I have read of it if you want an indica with balls that'd be it! Also have some dannyboy,vortex,and jack the ripper on the way!! woot woot :smile: Now I just gotta wait for cultivation to become legal so I can get em goin :tongue: :wink:

believe it or not i have seen the durban plant once or twice. She is super sweet and large yeilder. in veg she looks similar to a indica but once switched to 12/12 she stretchs alot and the leaves become very narrow and long. some say she has a anise taste but i have only observed a super sweet taste with a touch of pepper and somewhat earthy. she needs alot of light.she likes hydro but needs suport because of the stretch and size of flowers. they say shes done in 60 days but its more like 70-75 days. she doesnt need much nutrient. but responses well to excessive co2 (1,800ppms). also she requires a longer leaching period because she holds her nutes thus lower feeding regiment. most durbans out there at seed banks arnt pure they seem to have a touch of skunk in them. the high is good and up. if used in conjunction with a psycedelic or mdma it sends you to new levels where other herbs cant. also the plant contains delta 8 thc which has been reported to have psycedelic properties. the true origins of durban are believed to have been a southeastern asian sativa (most likely thai) that was brought to sout africa and aclamised to the climate over many years of imbreeding. whether this is true or not it sure is reminicent of old thai, however much faster and denser growing.

would you say she has small and almost insigificant hairs, or was that taken from the skunk. It might have been something this plant just did, but it seemed like the flowers and mainly the hairs were just tiny compared to some silver haze grown in almost identical conditions.

And as an update.. i got some more of the seeds that this plant was grown from. I damn near danced when i saw that was once again the free seed packet being sent out by wonderful Nirvana. Thanks!
