Durban Poison (Green Smoke Room Fast)

Not shown: germination in kitchen paper for 48 hours until they cracked and displayed a clear shoot. Temperatures can reach 40C in middle of South African summer, so the day temperature is uncomfortably high. I'm hoping the landrace genetics come through and the girls will tolerate the heat; they are growing in their home territory after all. Then again, who knows what kind of cold Northern Hemisphere growing they've gone through in the last 50 years since the 70s. For a "100% sativa" the leaves are oddly broad. I've purchased this seed from a a local seedbank with a well-established history, stretching back before the semi-Legalisation in South Africa. They've been breeding the Dutch Passion stock locally, so I'm a little more optimistic about the heat tolerance. Durban still grows monstrous outdoor plants, so it's likely a lot of their testing has been done in the full Durban heat. No problems at this stage. We have a runt among the four plants, but I don't have a backup seedling, so fingers crossed it'll catch up a little over the course of veg. Worst case scenario is it gets overshadowed by its neighbour, but I'm planning fairly aggressive topping and LST so hopefully we can clear the canopy for it.
