Finally time has come to chop down plants 1&2. They look ready and trichomes are mostly cloudy with some embers. Both plants weight 750 grams as whole. I would assume there is around 30-40 grams dry on each, but we would have to dry cure and than return with results. 3rd plant can probably go for another week, she looks like she can get her buds bigger, also still many many white pistils. She is looking very promising with very long buds (: 3rd plant chopped after 1 week, weighs 500 grams wet as whole. Joining the 2 other girls in the closet

Tried this strain from a dispensary one time, was a very enjoyable daytime strain that I look forward to smoking again, will look to take clones to at some point during veg Durban Poison—The Legend Unmasked The name and origin of this invigorating strain lie in Durban, a coastal city in South Africa. The following table breaks down Durban Poison’s basic properties. Strain: Sativa. Aroma: Piney, Sweet, Citrusy. Effect: Energizing, Uplifting, Focusing. Typical THC Content 18%–20% Whether you need to tackle a large project, boost your mood, or channel your inner adventurer, Durban Poison is the way to go. It offers a powerful stimulating high with light relaxation to clear your mind. It won’t make you drowsy or sedated, so it’s perfect for daytime use. You should avoid it in the evenings unless you plan on pulling an all-nighter. Durban Poison has a moderate amount of THC but enough to color your day in vibrant colors. Still, the strain’s cannabinoids are only one piece of this lively puzzle. If you want Durban Poison to shine in its full glory, you should leverage its numerous and potent terpenes. Take note "peak terpene" is roughly 2 weeks prior to "peak THC" which we use as a guideline for traditional harvest. Terpenes in Durban Poison Each Cannabis strain—and every other plant—produces aromatic hydrocarbons that give it a distinct aroma and flavor profile. Terpenes can’t get you high, but Cannabis-derived ones help cannabinoids (THC and CBD) penetrate the blood-brain barrier more easily so they can bind to your endocannabinoid receptors (primarily CB1). The interplay between the two compounds is called the entourage effect, and it causes a stronger, more accentuated buzz than cannabinoids can induce alone. Only a tiny portion of all Cannabis terpenes have been researched, but the results are fascinating. Each terpene enriches your experience differently, and Durban Poison has an eclectic mix of these mighty compounds. Terpinolene Durban Poison is one of the few strains where terpinolene is a dominant terpene. Cannabis typically produces it in lower quantities, so it usually plays a supporting role. Herbaceous and floral terpinolene offers relaxation and clarity, so it’s partially responsible for the strain’s serene nature. Myrcene Myrcene has always been synonymous with sedation and sleepiness, so finding it in such an invigorating strain might seem strange. It makes more sense when you know that these effects occur if the terpene makes for over 0.5% of the plant’s total weight. This isn’t the case with Durban Poison, so myrcene is tamer than in other strains, adding subtle stress-relief properties. Pinene Alpha and beta-pinene are among the main terpenes in Cannabis, the former being more common. Besides giving Durban Poison refreshing undertones, pinene isomers offer focus and mental clarity, which is what the strain is all about. Limonene Omnipresent in the citrus family, limonene gives plants a sweet-citrusy aroma. When you take a whiff of Durban Poison, you can feel its notes underneath the dominant pine scent. As for effects, limonene plays an antagonist to myrcene and is the embodiment of sativa strains. It increases your energy and lifts your spirits to pump you up for the day. Valencene Limonene’s lesser-known sibling, valencene was initially discovered in Valencia oranges. It’s sweeter than limonene and more representative of Durban Poison’s overall aroma. Valencene also has energizing cerebral effects, so its role is essential to the strain. Ocimene This is another secondary terpene that most strains—including Durban Poison—don’t have in abundance. Still, ocimene can be a potent stimulant, so its scarcity doesn’t make it any less important. New garden inspired by MiyaguiOkPolilla TORUS What Is The Heart’s Toroidal Field? The heart is the most powerful source of electromagnetic energy in the human body and the magnetic fields produced by the heart have been shown to be involved in energetic communication (also referred to as cardioelectromagnetic communication). Research done at HeartMath Institute (HMI) suggests that the heart’s electrical field is approximately 60 times greater in amplitude than the electrical activity created in the brain and is an important carrier of information. More and more studies are finding that the heart may be as complex as the brain is- the heart actually sends more communication to the brain than the brain sends information to the heart! Our thoughts and emotions affect the heart’s magnetic field, which energetically affects those in our environment, whether we are conscious of it or not. The heart has approximately 40,000 neurons and has the ability to process, learn and remember. It has its own emotions and in the field of neuro-cardiology, researchers are learning more about the “intuitive” nature of the heart and how we can apply this information to the relationships we have with ourselves and with others all around us. From the inside, your heart emanates an extremely powerful toroidal energetic field and it has been scientifically measured to go out as far as 5 miles from your heart. This magnetic field is involved in energetic communication, a direct extension from your heart to everyone and everything. In my practice, I like to reference this field as a visual to depict and take in how we are all connected and one and also, individually, whole and complete. I find that once this connection is made, we can easily see how we matter and our choices count and how choosing to live in alignment with our selves can create a robust state of health and expansion- making the fundamentals more impactful, as we move into new moments knowing that we can intentionally empower our ecosystems, with the healing energies of presence-courage-appreciation-compassion, love, etc. which extends from us, by way of our heart, to the world and to each other. From the inside, your heart emanates an extremely powerful toroidal energetic field and it has been scientifically measured to go out as far as 5 miles from your heart. The heart’s magnetic field is the strongest rhythmic field produced by the human body. From HMI’s findings, research has shown that the timing between pulses of the heart’s magnetic field is modulated by different emotional states- these studies have also shown that the magnetic signals generated by the heart have the capacity to affect individuals around us. It is also important to note that the heart is not that only source that can emit this type of electromagnetic field- every atom emits the same torus field: people, trees, the earth, the sun, the universe! We can apply this knowledge and use it as an opportunity to go within, connect, quiet the mind, regulate the brain and tap into our heart’s center. What Does A State Of Coherence Look Like? According to the HMI Research Director Dr. Rollin McCraty, “Coherence is the state when the heart, mind and emotions are in energetic alignment and cooperation. It is a state that builds resilience.” When parasympathetic and sympathetic systems are out of sync because one is filled with emotions such as anger, anxiety or frustration, this produces an erratic rhythm or what can be referred to as an incoherent state. Positive emotions such as compassion and love generate a harmonious pattern in our heart’s rhythm, leading to coherence and greater emotional regulation. When these harmonious interactions exist among our bodies’ systems, this is referred to as physiological coherence. As this increases, so does the brain’s alpha activity, which in turn supports us. When we allow our conscious awareness to be in our heart center, we can begin to shift our perspective from what is to what can be and realize what is actually possible. When your torus field is healthy and spinning in all directions with no obstruction, this generate an infinite amount of energy, vitality and life force- creating inner balance and raising our vibration. Your torus field can also act as a form of energetic protection- operating as a “force field” that can shield and dispel any negativity. A simple visualization exercise can help you become more aware of your torus energy field. Imagine drawing energy upward from the ground (the Earth) through your feet down a central column. Imagine this bright light going up your entire center from your feet and out through the crown of your head. Then, imagine something like a water fountain where this light is pouring out of the crown of your head and all around you, going back down to the Earth and then up again through your feet again. Imagine this upward energy for a couple of minutes or until you feel comfortable. Do you see, sense or feel the energy pouring out around you? Let Your Heartbeat Be Your Reminder As we move forward each day, remember that you can always take a moment to place your hands over your heart to recenter, reassure and empower yourself. Here, you can feel your heartbeat, open up and shift accordingly. This is a new era, where we can write and live a collective, new story- much like a portal in time, where light can be blinding, healing, eye opening, and freeing all at once- and the earth seems to be rearranging itself, as we continue to awaken and reorient- called to remember who, what and where we truly are. Rediscovering the power that has been within, not outside of, ourselves all along. The idea that power, or even freedom, lies outside of the self is just an illusion that we, as a collective, have made into our reality. Just. Opt. Out.

Harter ritt diese Dame , alles viel zu schwer das es gleich umknickte beim defolieren . Hab mal ein getrockneten Bud aus der mitte genommen und Trichom analyse (Videos und Bilder) gemacht . ja viel klar wenig milchig und einige rot . Ergo , zuviel Licht an der Spitze (abstand zum licht viel zu gering) und im Boden zu kalt ist keine gute Kombination .

Everything is looking great. Except one pheno of the purple kush. Flowers aren’t stacking, still quite small especially in comparison and it’s not at all purple. Hopefully it’ll catch up during p/k week. which starts in a few days. Most of my leaves are praying everything is healthy and happy.

Day 64 - The start of week 10 and decided against defoliating and just tucked all the leaves in the middle instead. I’ll still pluck some here and there when needed. Buds are getting nice and fat and still has some decent time to fatten up even more. Day 65 - Ended up having to give her 2 gallons of water today, she’s starting to drink a lot. Buds are still fattening up nicely and smell is strong as hell. Day 67 - Not much happening, just watering/feeding when she needs it and doing a little light defoliating every couple of days. She should be ready for water tomorrow. Day 68 - All still good and she was ready for water and nutes so she got 2 full gallons today. This might be her last actual feeding of nutes before starting to flush but I’ll see how she is over the next week or so. Day 69 - Just some updated pics for the day, nothing new happening. Waiting for the pistils to start dying off but no real sign of that yet. Day 70 - Ending week 10 today and she’s got some fat and stinky buds. Haven’t really started looking at trichs since all her pistils are still bright white and healthy. Hopefully she’ll start winding down here in the next couple of weeks.

The smell on this lady is absolutely insane. The only way I can describe it is a dank smelling cherry. Trimmed 2 ozs after drying got done and had the whole house smelling. Very impressed with the nose tone and taste of the Cherry Cola and its not even cured yet. Growing this plant has turned me on to the cherry terps and will continue to look for them.

Mimosa X Orange Punch is a beast! She’s doing so well and she is growing vigorously. The trellis net will support the branches when they start stacking the nugs on. Had to give these girls some more nutes as the lower growth is showing signs that the top is taking what they need. Only sparsely so not worrying me much but good to note. Well these girls are cruising can’t wait to see you all next week, till then peace ✌️ 08/21/23

Day 41. She’s looking happy and healthy and full. She got defoliated so the light can get to her lower blood sights and hopefully make them larger and more dense. She’s eating heavy and drinking a ton of water. I’m happy with how she’s progressing so far. Sweet seeds always hits it out of the park.

This has been one hell of an experience. I respect outdoor growers a lot more after growing this beast. Everyday was a battle once I got home from work. I would go through each cola to remove any bugs I saw. Very happy with the minimal damage I got but next time around I have something in store for you guys. It has been a lot of work trimming this but it’s all done and I got a fair share of everything. I have made an ounce of kief so far, some canna salve, a pound of canna butter and still have lots left will probably make some wax and oil with @farmerbrett since he got a monster yield as well.0

I'm very happy with how my plants turned out and can't wait to get going again. They're now hanging in my tent so hopefully dried and ready to trim by Christmas day at the latest. I will update on weight when dried and on the smoke when cured.

Saturday, 19/02/2022 All plants looking OK. I realised I had no clear plan as to what I would do with the plants I LST'd so I removed the ties today. I really prefer the symmetry of mainlining so that is what I will be going for, specifically, quadlining. Plants showed no ill effects to Cytokin treatment (drench and foliar at same rate) and seemed to like it. Fed on 15/02/2022 with 10ml/gallon CAB and 5 ml/gallon Real Growers Recharge (RGR) on 17/02/2022. No ill effects to RGR and plants seemed to like it. Ph'd with 1.5 ml/gallon Evergrow Ph Down Sulphur on the 17th, not sure about the 15th, I may have used rainwater. Top of soil and actual soil at depth was moist today so I did not feed but at this moment, 2:34 PM, there has been significant rainfall for the past hour. Really need to get a rain gauge. Apart from the pots being on bare soil (need to get them off bare ground with large saucers, blocks, stepstones or something similar). I really don't mind the rain because I think the "natural" water will be good for the beneficials introduced by the Recarge and subsequently the plants. As I move the plants what seem to be whiteflies immediately flit about. Really, really need to get going on IPM!😣 5:13 PM, Saturday, 19/02/2022 Raised pots off ground with plant saucers. Treated pots, soil cover and plants with dusting of Insect Powder.
