With each grow harvested, you get a little bit better at your craft. It doesn't take long before net weight is no longer an issue.
Sounds incredible. Love the work your doing.It is my belief after studying a lot of pictures and learning more about the evolution of the westernized version of this strain, that the odd one out is a direct descendent of the original sativa line. If so, instead of finishing out, she will go into a second phase of growth as the buds begin to chunk out and develop some very distinctive red and purple flowers and she will likely take up to 14 weeks to finish out.
I am going to take a couple more clones, just to make sure to preserve this phenotype in my garden. I will have to check, but I may already have some of her in the veg rooms... I just didn't keep track of which plant was which.
Here is a picture of the true Durban:
Beautiful. I am growing some Durban Poison myself and though it is a Sativa dominant strain I am amazed and the thick leaves and huge colas. I am hoping I am just a week or two away from harvest - here's some natural light photos I took today of my test cola.I have been waiting for a long time to grow this one out. I have been waiting for good enough lights to do it justice, and thanks to 420 Magazine, I have one very good bloom room light, and am hoping to be lucky enough to have more lights soon. I think my skills are finally up to this task, and most importantly, I now have the space to dedicate to this project.
Durban Poison is a landrace strain, and it should be worth any extra effort she may require. The seeds are feminized and I planted 4 of them with 2 of the early risers up so far. She will be grown organically using @GeoFlora Nutrients in a layered mix of supersoil, Fox Farm Ocean Forest and Fox Farm Happy Frog.
Being a sativa dominant, she is going to try to be tall, and stretch will without a doubt, be a pain. I plan on moving her right to bloom as soon as I can get some clones off of them, and then we will mass produce a run of them in the next Bloom room that have grown out a bit more... that should be exciting, and it may be the last time I try that in a 6'6" room.
Here are the stats:
The seeds are a westernized and feminized version of the original 14 week strain but its genetics are all Durban. I am drooling just thinking about smoking some of this in a few months.

More About Durban Poison Feminized
Descended from Original Durban, which is named after its origins in Durban, South Africa, Durban Poison comes with the same highly psychedelic effects that its parent is known for. That is not surprising at all, given the high THC content of this cannabis strain, which can go up to more than 20%.
It can be grown outdoors and indoors, and its buds are always fat and heavy and coated in thick layers of sparkling trichomes. You do not even have to smoke Durban Poison to get excited. The sight of its large glands generously overflowing with resin is enough to make you drool. If grown outdoors, Durban Poison can yield up to 350g. Indoors, that number shoots up to 550g.
Aside from psychedelic effects, a euphoric high can be expected as a result of smoking this strain. Your energy and creativity are given a boost. This is an ideal smoke for days when you have to be productive or need to think up concepts for important projects at work or at home. There is no burnout effect after.
Durban Poison is perfect if you are into the euphoric effects or feelings induced by strains that are dominantly sativa, as Durban Poison is 60% sativa. Nothing is better than sitting in the shade and feeling your mood slowly being lifted up by a Durban Poison joint.
I bet they take off like a rocket, beautiful root development and a perfect time to repot!Veg, Day 19
The Poison family seems to be thriving in their new fancy velcro containers. It is very easy to see the growth that the 4 days since transplanting has given us.
I have lowered the lights a bit to strengthen the pattern and turned up the power to 125w per side, and we now have around 15k Lux hitting the plants. I want to steadily increase that as much as they will tolerate, so as to help restrict vertical growth. Sativas already tend to be lanky and I want to discourage that tendency as much as possible.
before I realized how bad the problem was and how incapable my little space heater was in keeping up with it, it got into the mid 40's in there for a few nights. Last night it got down into the 20's outside, and in the room it got down to 67. I still have some adjustment to do, and the extra current for the space heaters is too much for the wiring circuit up there so until I can get a new 220 line run up there, we have stolen some current from another circuit in the house to power the space heater. All this has been kept behind the scenes for the last month or so, and we are still working hard to make all the necessary adjustments to accommodate the attic grow rooms, with the electric and water supply being the main concerns. Seeing how close to the edge of the 10a breaker we are right now with just the lights, without additional electric work, running an air conditioner up there in the summertime isn't going to be feasible either.
There's plenty of skirmishes on the path to grow nirvana in your extended grow. I didn't think you'd hit every one though. You're still making it look easy.
Hopefully you got clones; it sounds like genetics you'll want to keep!
Of course you have the clones to search through, but I wonder if perhaps there is some vegetation left on the odd chopped gal from which you could reveg her just to be safe. Sounds like a one-off worth keeping around.
