Grow Diary — Week 30: Durban Poison
Outdoor Grow Journal • Eastern Colorado • October 2026
Week 30 Update, day 209— Patience for the Final Harvest
The Durban Poison plants have reached Week 30, and I'm taking a patient approach with their final harvest. Unlike the other two plants, which I harvested earlier, I'm intentionally letting these Durban Poison plants go longer in hopes of achieving a more relaxing, indica-like feel from the finished flower.
Durban Poison is traditionally known for its uplifting, energetic, sativa-dominant effects. My goal with this later harvest is to see whether allowing the flowers to mature further changes the character of the experience.
This season has also been a learning experience. The buds have turned out airier than I wanted, with less aroma and resin development than I'd hoped for. Those results will help guide my plans for next season, particularly my focus on improving root-zone oxygenation, drainage, and overall growing-medium structure.
What I'm watching this week:
* Flower maturity: Observing the flowers closely as they approach their final harvest.
* Trichomes: Looking at resin glands for changes in clarity, cloudiness, and amber coloration.
* Aroma and resin: Noting any further development before harvest.
* Weather: Keeping a close eye on Eastern Colorado's cooler autumn temperatures and frost risk.
Harvest strategy: These Durban Poison plants are being harvested later than the other two plants to explore whether additional maturity produces a more relaxing effect.
One important note for the journal: a later harvest may change the balance of cannabinoids and the subjective effects, but it does not reliably turn a sativa-dominant cultivar into an indica-like one. I'll treat the final experience as something to evaluate rather than a guaranteed result.
Week 30 takeaway: This is the final patience test of the season. I'm giving the Durban Poison plants additional time, watching their maturity and the weather, and documenting the results so I can make better decisions for next year's grow.

This week was spent doing some needed cleaning and minor defoliation and start aiming towards flowering in the next week or so. I dumped all pots and wiped out as well as the resivoir and added fresh water and nutes to all the plants. While plants were out of tent I did some very minor defoliating as well.
I picked up a few goodies this week. I noticed a fruit fly or two and decided to pick up an insect trap off amazon (let’s see how it works 🤞🏽). I also picked up a chargeable watering wand that is worth 3x its price for how easy it makes it to water/feed my plants. I just drop in in my 5 gallon bucket after nutes and pHing water and get to work without moving a single pot. Wish I got this sooner!

Good growth this week but I think she is still in Veg mode.... I hope I have not made a big mistake not FIMing her or any of the others in the tent. She is easily the tallest of all four.

Top canopy was uneven so supercropped a couple of branches.
Top branches are flowering ok but I'm not sure she'll make it too the end, bottom branches looking great.
I asked how I can speed up flowering, and I need too cover her for 16 hours a day, can't cover with boxes as rain will destroy the cartoon, don't have a cloth big enough. I'm just gonna wing it, adding some leaves to protect soil from frost, bringing her in when it is forecast to below 6. She'll be flowering until Christmas at this rate :D keeping an eye for hermie

A mon avis le boom florale arrive sur la fin et la maturation va commencer, l'odeur est vraiment incroyable !
