I haven't had a chance to try it yet as the flower is curing and the extract I have made from fresh chopped is still in the diamond miner. I initially chopped 11 colas and was able to fill a 3/4 pound extractor, and the amount of thca in it must be really high as shown in a picture, theres about a 1/2" layer of it crystallizing in a small 3" wide jar. Very happy with the extraction and hope to be happy with the flower once its dried.
It has a good smell, fresh and dank, but doesn't quite capture a true Durban Poison. Perhaps these two plants are the skunk pheno of the cross Nirvana has. I should have done more research on these genetics, as this is more of an American Durban, and not a true land race Durban as evidenced by the structure of the plant. Next run of Durban will be something directly from South Africa instead of the dutch or american crossed version, not too happy about these genetics, at all.

Reviews. Nutrient
I am very pleased with the quality and care that goes into their products. It was a pleasure using them, when measured out correctly I hit my EC targets every single reservoir change. The ph of the reservoirs was very stable, and the only time I had an issue is when I had to resort to using an organic ph down adjuster. So don't use an organic ph adjuster with these. Normally there is no need to use ph down, but as my RO filters are nearing the end of their life, initial RO water ph was in the low 6's, thus I was not able to use Athena's balance product that includes silica. Despite this the plants grew fine.
I also used Athena's new Fade product, which made a noticeable increase in trichome production compared to my last Durban grow. Couldn't be happier, keep up the great work Athena!
Reviews. Lamp
Decent light, it gets the job done in veg and thats all I really wanted from it. A little more granularity with the dimmer would have been nice, but all in all a solid veg light for a 3x3 or 4x4. I am able to keep the fixture close to the plants and adjust the finicky dimmer to get me to 500-600 ppfd in veg, while still having a little bit of wattage leftover should I have wanted to go higher with some CO2. Decent light and a great value.
So glad I purchased a HLG light! This is far and away a much better light than I have used in the past, and I've used MH, HPS, and CMH as well as other leds. The coverage is great, though I should have gotten a bar style version with such tall plants as I had a difficult time keeping the outer edges at a proper DLI without burning up the center of the canopy. These plants were able to handle the high intensity however, as I was pushing around 60 DLI to get the edges to around 45DLI. Judging from the density of the flowers, the sheer number of fully matured colas, and the abundance of trichomes, I would say the spectrum is perfect.
Reviews. Tent
These tents have been stood up torn down a number of times. I have even fallen into one while building it and nothing ripped or broke. Solid construction, excellent time tested zippers, and quality runoff retention without getting the floor wet. What else can ya say, it's a tent. Though I wish they made or included side support poles so I could use them to hang things with and keep the sides from sucking in under slight negative pressure.
The grow itself was really easy, apart from keeping the height in check on a relatively long indoor veg. These did love a lot of nutrients, though I couldn't push them as hard as I would've liked to, even without CO2. There were times of 4.5-7EC in the substrate during vegetative phases of the grow, and they took it with a bit of tip burn, but nothing too serious. During generative phases I was really able to push them, though not as hard as the Florida Pie I grew prior from Jungle Boys.

@technics702, i check everything: thricomes, stigma color and shape ( from straight to wavy), harvest time exceeds breeder’s recommanded harvest time ( breeder provides harvest time having grown it under the optimal conditions),
visual observation…

@GODSGIFT_2005_JM, fantastic looking grows you have had, I am impressed! Regarding your question about microscopes and specifically a reply to that question where the person stated that pistil color should be used as the determining factor as it relates to when to harvest. Have you found this to be accurate? I was never aware that trichome color is related to genetics and not the maturity of the plant, whereas pistil color is.
