🌱 Harvest & Cure Begins
Harvest is complete, and today marks the beginning of the curing process.
This run taught me a lot about Fruity Durban. From the very beginning, it showed exceptional vigor and recovered incredibly well from topping and training. Its strong sativa-like growth and rapid flowering make it a very interesting cultivar.
Looking back, I think I initially evaluated this cultivar from the perspective of a home grower running a single large Living Soil plant. After discussing it with Simon, I realized that Fruity Durban’s greatest strengths probably lie elsewhere. Its speed, vigor and growth habit make it particularly well suited for commercial SOG cultivation, where fast turnover and plant uniformity are major advantages. Seen from that perspective, I understand much better why this cultivar deserves its place in the Serious Seeds catalogue.
The drying phase has now been completed, and the flowers have entered curing.
My first impressions are already very promising:
🌸 Pink pepper
🍊 Fresh citrus
🌿 Herbal notes reminiscent of sage
The effect is already clear, uplifting and energizing, making it a great daytime smoke.
I’m very curious to see how the aroma and flavor will evolve over the coming weeks, as curing often reveals the true character of a cultivar.
A huge thank you to Serious Seeds for giving me the opportunity to test and document this variety from seed to cure. 💚
