POISON
Dutch passion seeds Durban Poison
26th August 2020
Hi all
I can see preflowers so it shouldn't be too long now until she begins to transistion into Flowering.
She's really sucking up the water at the moment as are the coriander and sweet basil plants.
Ive been asked a few times now why I have them in there and why I chose those plants in the first place.
The Coriander and Sweet basil plants both act as natural pest deterrence with mites, aphids and whitefly not liking the smell one bit.
The sweet basil is also said to Increase the essential oil content and improve flavour of the plants grown near it. That may be why it is always grown around Tomatoes too.
I also always have Mint in my Garden or atleast very Close to the plants because it is said to the same thing.
Not to mention it is super handy for me to be able to pick some fresh herbs whenever I need them.
This Durban poison plant has not got any noticeable smell during veg which is a shame to me because all of the really good stories of killer durban involved the plants stinking all thru the entire growth stages. You never know tho, it may still turn out very nice I will just have to wait and see.
That's all I have to report on this week
Cheers for stopping by ๐
@Grey_Wolf, lovely idea mate.two small pots of basil for 5 plants would do trick i guess.gonna be ordering some basil seeds.many thanks for the info ๐ค
@HighRoller909, I dont know about coco mate it might be too hard on the Mj plant? I'd probably have them in a seperate container close to the good plant ๐
@GreenHouseLab, Yeh I havent been able to find any of the real Durban mate
but the Malawi gold Ive got growing atm is supposed to have THCV in it too ๐
@Tweak, To deter mites or other insects mate and apparently Mint or Basil can help with Essential oil production
I grow Legumes in the soil before I use it to help fix the nitrogen
