Durban Poison - clone swap

Olfactory Review - Smells of lemon citrus, gassy/skunky. The diesel is starting to dominate as it dries but still has some tang to it. Taste Review - Tastes like it smells. DP had a nice funky diesel taste and some sort of citrus. The exhale is unique for sure. I know I have never smoked Durban Poison before. It is nice and potent. Showed some discipline and neglected to load up a half-blunt with hash. The taste is strong. Yield and Quality - Nugs are super tight and frosty. They look like high quality buds and the taste is strong. Very little leaf material overall. Quantity of yield is much better than what i did in 3.12 sq ft. At least 50% more, conservatively, can be expected in same space. A 30"x30" could give 350+ under my 240w lights. Ramblings... What a surprising yield, though still a bit light. I may push 100g+ when I expected ~50-60g. The nugs are fat and dense. A bit less of a level filled on the mesh rack than GGxWW and about half the smaller nugs. Betwen the two plants, it'll turn out fairly average yield relative to old lights. The Green Poison F1 Fast version diary will give a good idea of what kind of g/w I can reach without CO2 added. I think 1.5g/W is too low of a bar, but we will see. Fully powered by new lights from beginning of bloom to harvest. Nugs were solid all the way down, but The canopy isn't so deep, either. Based on GGxWW I could have had another 2-3" deeper of good nugs. Didn't fill out the fill 15"x30" area, either. Left a lot on the table, but makes me feel good about how future yields will turn out when I don't step on my d%$#. Very little went into the hash bin from this plant. Even what I threw in was nice and dense, albeit a bit small. I've had issues with hardened ovules in my GGxWW harvests. Unlike GGxWW, I was stingy about what went in - only larfy/leafy sugar-coated trash. Quality looks excellent. Vast majority of weight will be top colas and they are evenly frosted with trichomes. While I never had buyer's remorse, I've had concerns about the ROI, but those concerns have been allayed. These lights are f*cking awesome. I'll likely run them closer to 200W(x2). 1.7g:1w might be a better goal going forward. Updates on drying: Day 0 - Finally put a finger on the smell I couldn’t place.. diesel/gassy, duh Drying 1 Day - Drying is definitely slower this time (an intended goal). Think the plant had a higher water content at time of harvest, which is helping. Took 2 small nugs of each and got them dry enough to grind up - no ovules from what I can tell. I've thought that before early on before, though. Half-blunt tasted horrible, of course, but with enough hash on top that it didn’t bother me for long. While it was like smoking hay, I could think something harsh was missing due to unwanted familiarity lately. Drying 2 Days - Flipped the top colas after about 36 hours (last night). Checked a couple spots and definitely drying more slowly than last couple harvests. Hopefully, it is a good 7-10 day drying period before they are put into jars with 58% 2-way humidi-paks. The citrus smell is being replaced mostly by a gas/diesel smell on Durban Poison. GGxWW overpowers smell of DP in the room. Floral, fruity with some extra sweetness. Smell is based on touching a coated sugar leaf, as they both smell a bit like grassy-hay from a close distance on the third day. May have overestimated yield slightly? Either my memory is off or a bit more shrinkage than normal. Should still easily clear 8oz in total - nearly 3 entire levels could be filled if consolidated (36” Diameter). I’ll remove the lumber before weighing, too. End of day - nice and slow... Drying 3 Days - In the AM there is still softness/moisture to the top colas with an occasional dryer spot. Excellent! Smaller nugs are not much different. Drying is going well, so far. Much slower than previous 2-3 harvests. PM - ~7 days looking about right. I'll dump into jars 66-75% full once a decent stem is dry enough to snap, then weigh one of the top cola jars. When that jar no longer changes weight, i know the moisture is evened out. Rather it lose a bit of weight in the jars rather than gain back lost moisture, so i try to err that way. Drying 4 Days - 5th day ongoing and progressing well. Even the smaller bits have a ways. Those are bunched up more than the top colas to slow them down the last couple days. Well, so much for a slow dry. 14+ hours (ongoing) at 80F saw to that. Stems aren’t snapping. waiting until morning to jar. Humidity has dropped, but temp should fall into 70’s in that room. I’m not so worried. Long enough that it still breaks up like normal buds and the hay smell is 100% gone after 2 days drying. Drying 5 days - Can’t snap stems in morning… holding off longer. Currently can easily be broken up with scissors and smoked as a blunt without issue. Doubt a joint would stay lit. Should be cooler today, but due to some work being done in the house, it’s in the hottest room of house these last 2 days. Still bending in evening. May end up getting close to 7 days after all. Drying 6 days - After 6 full 24-hour cycles, buds snap off main stem, but larger stems don't snap. Tossed in jars with 58% two-way humidi-paks. They'll be burped each day, and I'll weigh the same top cola jar each morning until it remains the same weight. (for each strain, as they can dry differently) PM - Burped jars and inspected buds. Not much different on exterior. I don’t expect this to take long to reach final dry weight. Will only know in hindsight if it is currently curing. Drying days 7 - Burped again after 24 hours in the jars; not a significant change to exterior or weight of nugs. Minor sticking a little jiggle took care of. Placed horizontally for storage this time. I don’t expect weight to change tomorrow. 33/31g for DP and GgxWW, respectively (written to hundredths, but I don’t recall those digits). Those were top cola jars with that seemed to be the most likely not to be fully dry. Burped in evening. Spot check one of the jars... Drying 8 Days (9th day) - A Durban Poison top-cola jar weighed 33.31 grams and increased to 33.36 grams with a 58% 2-way Boveda 8g pack after 24 hours. Being a negligible difference, I’m calling it “dry.” So, 111 grams overall, 98 of which are top colas. These are a bit more dense than the ggxww and i think higher quality end product. Total under 240w light fixture - 111+157 = 268 grams. If I grew DP out properly, I’d easily clear my target of 1.5g/w. Easily left 60-80g worth of open space.
