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.

Well week 9 was fun 😏.
I moved this fine lady into a 10 gallon pot. She will likely stay in it until sometime in July. It’s my custom organic Super Soil mix. It should keep her happy in a 10 gallon pot for a while!
I will be cleaning up more growth in the coming week. I topped her a couple of days ago so she is at the point where I have 8 tops now, well once I clean up the lower growth. I am aiming for 32 at this point in the game. I hope this enables me to slow her down a bit and control her growth as she can double when she goes into flower.
I have been making sure to treat her with Method 1 PPS (plant prevention spray) once a week. This keeps Andy would be moulds and pests the F off my girls!
Onward.....

Not much to report this week, strung up the yoyo’s on D60, stretch seems like it’s almost over, some of the colas at the back are a couple inches too close but I can’t really get at the back anymore (usual issue with my set up).
All bud sites are forming well, time to sit back and watch them bulk up over the next couple weeks 😎

God's Vagina seedling seems to have finally established its roots and begun to thrive. The clone was yellowing I belive from being root bound. She was transplanted today 04/27. End of the week update! 05/03/2020 God's Vagina was topped at the 5th node yesterday(05/02) First time ever topping but she seems to be recovering nicely. Will begin with low stress training on the clone soon in an attempt to keep both plants at roughly the same height. Yellowing on the clone is nearly all gone. Planning on keeping them in veg for another 6 weeks.

143gr for the Larger pheno and 97 for the shorter, very respectable yield in total for 3 Wk Veg. Total 240gr even they each had 1.5’x1.5’ of space. Big yielder, buds are 10/10 & very easy to grow . Could be prone to mold in an uncontrolled environment.

Tag 22: Beide Pflanzen sind schon in die Blüte gegangen.
Tag 23: Zeit zum umtopfen! Von 3L auf 6L und 9L Topfgröße. Eigentlich wird ja von umtopfen von Automatics abgeraten. Aber ich habe bei meiner letzten Automatic damit erstaunlich gute Erfahrungen gemacht. Das wollte ich nun nochmal testen mit anderen Sorten.
Tag 25: getoppt bei 4 und 5 Nodien.
Tag 27: Ich biege die Zweige täglich runter.

Week 5 begins for LSD and Green Crack! The LSD ladies had the most yellowing over the last week, yet they have the most frost on the buds. The Green Crack ladies had a little bit of yellowing and has bigger buds, but no frost at this time. They all seem very happy in their new 4x8 home.
Thanks for stopping by growfessors, tune in next week for another episode of growfessor theatre. 👽🌳💚

Fattening up and fading yellow and purple. Believe she'll be a fast finisher and will probably go ahead and start the flush process.

The weather has caused another tough week for controlling environment. The grow is showing signs of heat stress but nothing to worry about.
This tester is coming along nice. Becoming very frosty, I'm not sure how much more the flowers will bulk out but she is looking nice.

Welcome growers
Week n°6 is ended, the first in flowering for this two BLUEBERRY CHEESECAKE 🍰
The one that is growing in its most natural form apparently looks fitter than her sister where I have practice a topping technique, but in general they are quite beautiful and healthy..
The plants are starting to show early pre-flowers 🌻🌻
The appearance is not extremely healthy because of me, I was away for a few days and my self-irrigation system did not work properly, leaving the plants in shortage of water 💦
Maintaining the correct proportions between dry and wet soil is essential
But they will recover anyway..
In this week I have slightly defoliated to allow the light to penetrate more and also better ventilation ✂️✂️🍃🍃
About the lights cycle 💡
We are now in a 12/12 on / off..
Always under two SP3000, from Mars-Hydro, at 75% of the power..
About nutrients 👇
I still giving their always organic/veganic nutrients..
A little bit of silicium (Bionova) / Activator (Biomagno) / Crescita (Biomagno) / Activera (Biobizz) / Grow vegan (Bionova) / The Missing Link (Bionova) / X-Cell (Bionova) / Bioheaven (Biobizz) , a little bit of P-K 3-5 (Bionova) {in spray solution } and for the firsth time a little bit of Fioritura (Biomagno) and Bloom vegan (Bionova)
Like i usually do, a little bit of everything at any watering 💧
And that's pretty much everything i've done..
See you in week n°7 📆
Thanks for stopping and watching 😎👍👍
FC ✌️

Flush week, straight water flush and I expect to chop and harvest this coming Sunday, maybe Saturday depending on trichomes and how dry the promix HP is. Overall I'm happy with this plants growth, she survived a heat stress issue and has developed lots of bud. While not huge buds, compared to my last grow of this strain, I'm still super pumped with this strain/plant. Updates will come after harvest and after drying for final weight total.

Grew like an animal I reccomend giving it a shot. The high is similar to the northern express strain but a little more potent. Calms you down relaxes but doesnt lock you in to the couch. Taste like hashish. Updated with a video of some nugs I still have left. After the cure this has become a crowd favorite from my indica selection. Feedback has been hard hitting and long lasting, for most good for any time of day. Impressed mostly by the denseness of the nugs. The smell remained earthy and woody with notes of citrus. All around great producer and a quality product.
