Grow Diary: Durban Poison Girls (Week 6) Dates: April 17 – April 23, 2026 Status: Vegetative Stage Overview The girls (DP1, DP4, DP5, and DP6) are looking robust and vibrant as they hit their stride in Week 6. The foliage is a healthy, deep green, and the stem strength has significantly improved this week. We are maintaining a strong indoor environment while watching the Easter Colorado weather closely to time their move to the deck. Weekly Environmental Log The weather was a bit of a rollercoaster this week. While indoor temps remained stable, the external conditions impacted humidity and light intensity coming through the windows. • Temp/Humidity: Consistent indoor temps at 22°C–24°C. Humidity was slightly lower this week due to the breezy outdoor conditions, requiring a bit more frequent misting to keep the "Sweetener" uptake optimal. • Weather Highlight: April 17 was quite chilly (5.5°C), but by the 20th, we saw a beautiful spike to 26°C. The girls enjoyed the extra natural light boost from the back porch windows during those sunny afternoons. Feeding & Maintenance We stayed the course with the organic regimen this week to ensure no nutrient lockout before the big transplant. • Nutrients: Half strength FOOP Veg and Sweetener administered on Tuesday (April 21). • Watering: Soil was drying out faster this week as the root systems expanded. Switched to a slightly heavier watering volume to ensure the 50/50 soil blend stayed moist but well-aerated. Plant Observations • DP1 & DP5: Showing the most vertical growth. Might need a final top above the fourth node if they continue to stretch toward the light panel before Mother's Day. • DP4: Very bushy! The LST is creating a nice wide structure that will fill out the 25-gallon fabric bag perfectly. • Pest Control: The African marigold seedlings are coming along nicely—no signs of fungus gnats or mites on the Durban girls. Upcoming for Week 7 • Prepare the 25-gallon fabric bags with the 50/50 Miracle-Gro mix. • Monitor overnight lows; we are still about three weeks out from the safe "after Mother's Day" transplant date. • Begin checking the "Garden" calendar for hardening-off windows.

This week went really well ! Today we are at day 79 from seed an looking beautiful! One Forbiddin Runtz got chopped an hung to dry out an the rest are still flushing out through the rest of this week! Very nice looking fades coming along on the fan leafs from purple to green , so beautiful ! So happy with these genetics from @fastbuds_genetics! Super sticky an smell is so amazing, room full of purple punch’s an Forbiddin Runtz the smell you can’t beat, so many berries!!! Well stay tuned for next week! Cheers y’all

Hi my friends! Thank you all for such amazing support on this sweet journey 🙏✌️💚 I'm updating and uploading daily so if week not completed yet. Please revisit to see full week content. So far everything is going great. Girls are are stretching nicely approx 2cm per 24h. It's looking that will cover entire scrog net with these 2 beauties. Simple plan for the week. Training on the net and maybe selective defoliation on week end. Week updates: 20-26 Nov. 20/11 day 43 Girls adapting well to net😁 21/11 day 44 First watering for this week. 2.5 ltr each pot. Runoff approx 200-300ml from each. Runoff Ph Xena 5.9 Athena 6.0. 23/11 day 46 It's seems that they stretched at least an inch overnight 😁 absolutely love my 🍌💜👊 girls. 25/11 day 48 Second watering for this week. Approx. 3L each 🤤 runoff 150-200ml. 26/11 day 49 Athena was stretching so much that decided for sort of heavier selective defoliation and cleared good bit under the net. Xena is at the same stage of flowering as sister but she is still much smaller, branches are shorter and tinner, will wait bit longer before go any heavier on her. Was able to nicely relocate longer branches of Athena all over the net. It's the end of this amazing week 😁 Thank you all for stopping by and for such amazing support on this bananas ride 🍌💜👊 Love you all brothers and sisters 💚💚💚

11/10 12AM MONDAY 11/11 626AM how about a WWII German Hero Grow? 11/11 255PM great news neck bleeding so no plant work today...how am I not dead yet??, this is bullshit. 11/12 440AM THE DEMON REVEALED ITS SELF TONIGHT. BIG MISTAKE!!!! GREAT NIGHT FOR ME.....DARK DEVIL AUTO IS IN MY LUNGS AND BLOOD RIGHT NOW AND ITS ALL HAPPY!!! GOOD LUCK FOR ME, DEMON HUNTERS PARADISE!!! 11/12 501AM. DDA is PERFECT RIGHT OFF THE TREE. SOMETHING AUTOFLOWERS ARE GREAT AT IS SMOKING WITHOUT HAVING TO CURE AND DRY. ITS 100 TIMES BETTER WHEN I DO, BUT ITS GOOD FOR MEDICAL USE AND NOT OVERLY STRONG WITH ALL THE FLAVORS OF BERRY AND VANILLA!!!!!

ILGM Girl Scout Cookies Extreme autoflower has grown great under the Viparspectra P4000 light. She is in heavy bulking now, and I am juicing her for as much as she will produce. She did take longer then most autoflowers to start blooming, but we got there, and going great now. Has a nice aroma going as well. With some frost buds stacking up. Figuring about 3 to 4 weeks till harvest depending how long she wants to grow. Thanks again Viparspectra, and I Love Growing Marijuana. 🤜🤛🌱 Thank you everyone in the grow diaries community. Lots of great folks around. 👍 A special thanks to the folks that contribute the likes, follows, comments, plus subscriptions on my YouTube channel. 🍻 Happy growing everyone 🌱 🌱🌱

switched out my 600w mh for my 6oow hps on day 32 also had to place a stake in her because she grew to fast for her own good i really have just been here to feed her the genetics are great

Oh, I am nervous. Its my first time in a long time...…. hopefully this doesn't end as bad as the first time these feelings came up. Very quick and very disappointing.😅 11/26- At around 7:30pm these autos got put into Ice Mountain Spring Water temped to 68 degrees. After just 3 hrs 2 have already sunk to the bottom. 11/27- Its been 12 hrs and all but 1 of the Cinderella Jack have dropped. 11/27- The last straggler sunk after 18 hours. At around noon, I transferred the seeds into paper towels. Then put the paper towel into small baggies. 11/29- Seeds have been germinating in paper towels for around 30 hrs. They are starting to show taproots. The Fastbuds are just that FAST. They were showing taproots in under 12 hrs. One was over a half inch. 11/29- At around 6pm, I transferred these little ladies into a cup and a half of some naked Happy Frog and placed in the germination dome. 11/30- At 2:30am these gals got their first dose of light. Since I'm a born again grow-virgin and have never messed with autoflowers. I'm going to just keep the traditional 18/6 lighting schedule. 11/30- With less than 6 hours of light I already have 2 sprouted around 1 inch. The Fastbuds green crack seeds seem to be outperforming the others. The Dutch Passion seeds are performing too but the Fastbuds are impressive. Note: These seeds are germinating under a 7.83hrz frequency. It is coming from a small 4" subwoofer connected to 2 small speakers hung in the top corner of my tent. I plan to continue though to harvest. My thinking that if our goal is to mimic the conditions outdoors why not amplify everything we can. 7.83hrz is the natural frequency omitted by the earth and can be nothing but beneficial. To my research it should help the plant develop on a molecular level.

June 15: lots of rain ended this morning. 64 mm or 2.5 inches over 48 hours. No watering need for a while. She looks pretty good and I’m currently waiting for the two stems to grow a bit more. A day or two before another round of topping to make the 8 (or 16?) cola manifold. June 18: still more rain. Wow, really pouring at the moment. About 80 mm in last few days and heavy rain forecast for all day today. Oh well. Plants are up against house to minimize soaking. Took two fan leaves that were growing back across the main stem to allow more light in. So far so good. June 20: second round of topping to get to 8 colas and tied down to have all growth tips at same elevation. Waited until fourth node was forming and then topped to third node and removed growth tips at the second node. Sounds a bit hard but totally easy once you try. 👍called mainlining on Growdiaries but should be called manifolding. Still quite cool and rainy which is great for the forest fires, but a bit cool for cannabis. Oh well. June 21: Happy Solstice. Our monsoon season seems to be done and next two weeks look like great cannabis weather - sunny with low to mid 20s C.

Pretty heavy yield for only 2 plants they smell and look astounding. Harvested in 2 parts. To allow the lower buds to densen and mature.

Finally back to the garden after 4 weeks away. They were really in need of love by the time I got back to take care of the garden. BIG NEWS! Now running a California Lightworks Solarxtreme 500 as my main light. Will add a second SX500 light into the room once I start flower. Hit the LST on the again and just making sure they are getting fed and lots of love. Will have to push back my starting flower by another few weeks. See how the recover

Hi All, The week was pretty uneventful, the plant is developing nicely. I removed a leave here and there to make sure maximum light exposure in the middle of the canopy is guaranteed. The buds stopped stretching so I’ll will stop with the boost and add the pk 13/14 to help with the fattening. Dried and smoked a few of the lowest popcorn buds and they are by all means not there, but smell and taste pretty awesome. I have also added a few pictures of the new box that I have built for the cuttings. The box was build pretty low budget, however I will still need to add a better light source as I am currently running on only 60W veg lights. Was planning to buy the Greenception GCx5solo 150W full spectrum LED, as it would fit exactly Inside the box.

Day 82 - Added a new nutrient to bulk up on PK from Canna. Guide says to do this only once, so fingers crossed. Still trying to figure out how close I am. I keep seeing other pictures of what look to be near leafless buds, and the buds look absolutely huge. The problem for me as a first time grower is that I cannot figure out what the scale is, and so have no idea if the photos I see are very close up or not. Also, I keep seeing others pictures of what look to be really extended and pointy buds, and mine look nothing like those either. Can't tell if it's the angle or the actual shape. I'm sure I'll learn, and I'm pretty sure I'm on the right track. Loving the learning though. Such fun. And macro photography is hard.

Some photos of the canopy and surrounding nodes. Leaves still a healthy dark green.

08/21/2018 Day 1 week 3 Starting the week with second set of leaves,1st real leaves single leaves, second set is 3. It looks like one of the seedling leave is fading?.. Watching, maybe add nutes ? this week 08/22/2018 First root touching water! Here come the roots!🙏 for good week. Not sure when I add nutes. Maybe mid week. The codytledons (seedling leaves) are still healthy suggesting to me they still have nutes for seedling growth. 08/25/2018 More leaves,more roots,still no nutes,codytledons still looking good no fade. 08/26/2018 Uploaded root shots, codytledons may be withering away look closer tomorrow mornin 08/27/2018 Got up to 90° in tent, I turned on the red spectrum last night at 25%, Blue spectrum is at 100% Also some signs that codytledons turning pale, nutes coming soon 1/2 strength 💪 of course see how she responds increase as needed.

I visited her today!!!! Day 147!!! when I came I saw one broken branch, yesterday there was quite a strong wind, I think it's his fault :) but everything else looks good, just found 1 small ring of rot :), which allows me to leave it to grow for another week :) very beautiful girl :) there will be a renewal, good luck!!!!

Natural grow with all the cloudy,rain und Sun hours

Just water:)))

This week went by good plant have some very good bud sites developing on them this strain has done very good and overall happy with the way they are growing

I finally found the spray on the leaves according to my ideas! 1. Produces mist with fine droplets 2. works in 360 ° position ... 3. After pressing, it sprays for another 3 seconds. I have not found it in any gardening or growshops ... You can find these spray bottles in a hairdressing shop. Price $ 12, volume 350m!
