Durban Poison Feminized

September 22 - Whew... time for a rest. Started at dawn, took about 5 hours total straight through. Not sure if she'll be ready to trim by middle of next week when I plan to disappear up north to play some golf and veg with friends for a few days. If not... the trimming will have to wait until I return. >> Turned out she dried fast. ------- I've been a proponent of washing buds ever since I had an event with spider mites and powdery mildew for indoor stuff. And after inspecting my outdoor buds this summer what I thought was cat hair was actually pollen from trees in my yard... so there's lots of stuff that accumulates on the buds especially outdoors. A you tube video that explains the process quickly and easily can be found at ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZ8hJ5q4Wc0 ------- I'll weigh it all after she's dry and trimmed and ready for curing. I'm consuming the indoor version of this plant right now because she's been curing for 4 weeks already. She's pretty sweet and plenty potent. This will dwarf the indoor plant as far as yield goes. ------- September 25 - trimming complete, took the better part of two evenings. I was surprised she was dry enough to trim yesterday so we got down to it. Overall the yield was almost identical to my outdoor Raspberry Glue... within 0.1 ounces. Basically 10 ounces of trimmed bud. Trim weighs in at about 10.5 ounces total. PS >> I guess one thing that I didn't discuss a lot in this diary was how much this girl consumed fluid-wise. She basically got one gallon of fluid a day. The ONE thing I would do differently next time is a larger container. I couldn't leave town for 36 hours this summer or this baby would wilt on me, and we can't be having that. ================================================== The original intent of this diary was to compare an indoor vs outdoor grow, but being new to diaries I didn't know that wasn't part of the structural plan. Looking back at my notes I forgot to weigh the indoor Durban after trimming. I've been digging into it a lot the last week or two stashing away my other stocks of sativa (Strawberry Cough and Sour Tangie). I've still got 1.2 ounces from the new indoor Durban (already cured now)... but obviously the yield on the outdoor plant was almost 10x what I got indoors. These plants germinated at the same time from the same source and fed the same food. Primary difference besides Mother Nature taking on the lighting duties was a 5 gallon fabric pot vs a 3 gallon fabric pot for the indoor plant. The outdoor plant was moved outside at the summer solstice and at that time the tent lighting was switched to flowering for indoor plants. I harvested the indoor plant in mid-August, so the outdoor plant got about 4 extra weeks to veg. Makes me wonder what in blazes I'm doing growing plants indoors when I can get that kind of yield outdoors. Ummmm... probably because I enjoy it... but still. No more winter crops dude ... focus on the summer crop ... stick to seeds if you can. Happy growing folks! 😛0
