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 ā€œintuitiveā€ 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, ā€œCoherence is the state when the heart, mind and emotions are in energetic alignment and cooperation. It is a state that builds resilience.ā€ 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 ā€œforce fieldā€ 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.

So I know I said they would have one more week into the vegetative stage, but after looking at my calendar, my jars, and the plant's size, I've decided it was a good time to flip into flowering stage. After 7 days into blooming plants are in stretch mode at full speed, everything is looking good so far for these Vanilla Ice clones!

My camera doesn't quite do it justice just how beautiful this plant is. Id say moderate amount of frost if I were to guess maybe 21-22%, but the Terps are out of this world. When you walk into the grow room all you smell is dank rotten cherrys and gas. The nose has transformed and changed so many times in the past 3-4 weeks it's been incredible. Opened a palette to me I never knew existed in weed; it has a smell that's Rich in Red Fruity Wine, hash/rosin (like when you hit a rosin disposable or you smell some good fresh press), with a cherry- black cherry fruit punch forward Superboof. Truly incredible. I pray these trichome heads stand a bit taller within the next 3-4 weeks, so we can get a nice wash + press going to make sum DELICIOUS Super Fried Applez Live Rosin

These are doing great rocbudinc continues to impress me with his genetics they are always top shelf. The mac x PBB seem like they are pretty close to being done for whatever reason.. and it's only day 45 in the video. 1 of the rocstar breath is looking to have a little deficiency, Its very minor but looks like it could be iron? I'm not sure it's not one I see often and never in my own garden but it's still putting out. The purple candy paint obviously stayed small but has some serious frost piling up. Humidity dropped s little this week since it's getting colder here but other than that there really hasnt been much change.

🌱 Week 2 Report: The Journey Evolves 🌱 Grow Fam, the adventure is in full swing! 🌟 The Gorilla Melon from Fast Buds is out and shining its light, and the Papaya Zoap has made its debut in the Cannakan, bringing with it a story that adds even more depth to this incredible run. When the universe speaks, we listen. šŸˆāœØ I didn’t plan on popping Papaya Zoap from Sweet Seeds just yet, but sometimes things just have a way of aligning. After a few other seeds didn’t germinate, I felt an inner pull toward this special strain. As it turns out, the universe had something beautiful in mind! Just days later, my brother @daggadna also began germinating the same genetics—gifted to us during Spannabis. Was it a coincidence? I don’t think so. 🌱 This is more than just a grow now—it’s a journey with purpose, guided by synchronicity and connection. I can already feel the magic building up with this one, and I can’t wait to see where this road takes us! Now, onto the Papaya Zoap… something tells me this plant is going to take us on a ride we didn’t expect but absolutely needed. šŸ’š Let’s make something incredible, Brother Dagga—this one’s going to be legendary. Gear Updates: All Systems Go šŸš€ This week, everything’s dialed in perfectly with the TrolMaster system. Shout out to the incredible DSH-2U Humidity Station! šŸŒ¬ļø This tool is giving me precision control over the RH (relative humidity) ranges in the room, keeping the environment just right for my babies. Having that accurate readout and control allows me to maintain optimal levels for each stage of growth. It’s like magic—you plug it in, set the desired ranges, and let it do its thing! šŸŒ”ļø By monitoring and adjusting humidity levels on-the-fly through the TrolMaster app, I can ensure the environment remains stable, and that means happier plants and healthier growth! No more guessing games. From anywhere—whether I’m working in the garden or chilling out—I can track and tweak it all. Heck, I could be on the toilet and still have complete control over my room! šŸ˜‚ The AMP-3 Precision Meter has been running 24/7 in my water solution, giving me real-time updates so I can make any corrections when needed, right from my phone. This tech has taken my grow to another level. ✨ Nutrition Update: Keeping It Balanced šŸƒ As for feeding, we’re sticking with the basics to give the plants what they need, without overloading. Right now, I’m running: • Regulator: 0.15ml/l • Startbooster: 0.25ml/l For now, I feel like this is the sweet spot—just enough to encourage root development and early growth without overloading them. I’ll be adjusting the feed as we go deeper into the grow, keeping an eye on how they respond. You know me, always tweaking and improving along the way!

420Fastbuds-FBA2505 I'm excited as it's tester time. Germination week is complete. I planted 3 seeds and had all 3 sprout within 48hrs of being in the soil. I do soak them for 48hrs in a glass of water before planting. I can't wait to see what the weeks to come will have in store. Happy Growing

Hello Diary. He also finished the second week of vegetation and Fat Banana with his 21cm. he doesn’t lag far behind his roommate Haze Berry in terms of height and general development. I moved Fat Banana all the way to the left and put Haze Berry # 2 in the middle. I was thinking about topping this time but still decided on a naturally determined growth and development. She threw out the hairs in the places where the branches come out of the stem and thus showed that she is female :). I continued feeding with BioBizz as scheduled for the second week of vegetation. Let’s see what it looked like last week. 02/10/2020 - Day 8. Watering. She got BioBizz on schedule for the second week of vegetation. Fish-Mix - 2ml / lit, Bio-Heaven - 2ml / lit and Acti-Vera - 2ml / lit. p.H I dropped to 6.4 with Plagron’s Lemon Kick. Temp / Humidity on the farm - 25 degrees and 53% humidity. 06/10/2020 - Day 12. Watering. Procedure as four days ago. The temperature of the water I water is always around 19 degrees. Temp / Humidity on the farm - 25.6 degrees and 49% humidity. 08/10/2020 - Day 14. Photography and height measurement. This time I also record a bit and video and it really relaxes and makes me happy. Temp / Humidity on the farm - 25.6 degrees and 49% humidity. Fat Banana Auto - 21cm At the end of the second week everything is fine. The conditions in the Box are good and the plants are progressing nicely. We’ll see how Fat Banana progresses compared to the Haze’s. Since they are all different heights, I have to adjust the lights and lift a little every day to maintain a distance of 35cm as Migro recommends. That’s it for this week, see you soon.
