Both plants are looking pretty good. They have stretched from the bottom net to the top net and pre-buds are showing. Temperatures have dropped and the basement is staying around 66 degrees F and between 45-50 percent humidity. Been trying to dial in my Ac Infinity controller so that my tents temperatures are not fluctuating too much because I have the lights up all the way because their day cycle runs overnight and when it ramps up to 10 its likes to stay there and the day time temps in Durban 1 tent has been in low 70's while the other tent daytime is 78. I don't have humidifiers setup as I'm already in a good range but with all the extra airflow it seems to dry thing out a little too fast. Been watering every 3 days or so about 1 1/2 gallons each plant. The Durbans 2 tent with the more powerful Bestva light seems to be doing better even at full power Im not getting as many temp fluctuations. I mounted the lights directly to the top bar of the tent anticipating lots of stretch being this is Durban but it is not stretching as fast or as much as i thought.
Did a small defoliation earlier in the week then got another top dressing of dry amendments and a feeding of kelp molasses and mosquito dunks later in the week. Noticed the D #1 getting brownish/purple coloration in the new growth. I thought it was bud rot at first but I guess its just from my temps going down.
Added a small scoop of worms that escaped the bottom of my worm bin to each pot. The soil is starting to get more firm and i figured they could use the new home and could help. Also have some black soldier flys buzzing around and hatching from the worm bin, they are actually really cool. And also excited to see a few lady bugs still surviving from my last run in my tents as well.
Clones are doing well, also been getting some of the light from my p1000 as I took down the divider in my 3-in-1 cool grows 2x3.
What a beautiful plant! The canopy looks great. You can see the good care during the vegetation. Great job! you've got it pretty much in cruise control
@Exotic_Gardener, Thank you, These plants have been so easy from day 1. That longer veg time is going to pay off I think. Although I think I could have filled the canopy a week or two sooner had I not still had my last plants in the tents and transplanted the Durban sooner. They were under that little p1000 in the 2x2 most of that veg. Take care!
@Lemonhazelover, Love the effects of Durban. Also looking for that classic Lemony fruity pebbles kind of bud. I have the flavor in mind just don't know what strain it is, if you have any suggestions for that kind of flavor? Obviously lemon haze, but maybe Ak47 or sour diesel is what im thinking of? Deffs more of a fan of the classic strains.Ordered some more Seeds including some Greenhouse Seeds Co. Neville's Haze, and sweet seeds Black Jack
@Jimmy_chonga,
Thank you! The Durban was a fun grow. I've heard there are two main phenos of Durban. One has a lot of turpentine and the other has lots of aniseed like I got with these plants. I never smoked anything that tasted like it, and not big on licorice but this does taste very good.I enjoy it, but
it's not something I would want to have smoke every day. It's pretty much a pure sativa feeling, which is the main reason I grew it. The onset of the high is kind of long and not the strongest but it helps me focus
@Exotic_Gardener, Very excited to smoke this flower. Thank you. Very awesome plant for scrog. It didn't even stretch too much after switching the lights. It did grow very fast in late veg though, even under the p1000 in the 3'x2'x4' cool grow tent.
