Not next winter, but the one after.
Thanks so much Clover, I decided to not freak myself out with humidity in the 40s temps over 90 during the first few days. I brought her into the tent to hang out with the big girls while she toughens up a bit. Then my plan is to bring her out for an hour in direct sun and increase that time by an additional hour or two each day until she is I guess "hardened", that's the term, right? She will start in the shady flower garden in the backyard, gets enough light but not too much light and then I'll continue to "harden" her up by moving her into a more full-sun spot. If anyone thinks this is a stupid approach or has any other insight, please lmk. Here is Miss Bubblegum over the last few days. Today she is Day 4 above ground but the pictures have us through only yesterday at Day 3.Outdoors growing the sunis the most intense between 11:00am-3:00 pm this is the time you need to be careful about and the 90s is definitely not ideal but what I did was keep a wet towel around the pot and monitor the soil, container and leaves with a laser thermometer. Good luck Jersey. CL
Edit: If the leaves start to canoe move out of the sun.
At first I was like, man Im glad he loves my assortment of plants. Then I realized, duh, he meant the food!
Going to google this after I get caught up on my PMs before I head back out to journal catching up! I want pink!!! Even though its like my least favorite color for clothes or decor, on our plants, its like one of my favorites!
Thanks 12! Oh it would and Ive seen one nugged plants before. I don't forsee it happening here though, we are just as stifled as we were when she was 3 days old, now at 30 Days above. She's still outside though, didn't trash her....yet...
My Gorilla Glue Super Lemon Hazes both did this although they still maintained some of the larger fans, most of them narrowed come mid to late fflower. I LOVE all this cool unique stuff! And another Indica lover, be still my beating green heart
It is on them, not me!!!
Yes! Heights are close in those 2, only off by 1 inch-measured them all this morning!
Yes, please! I believe you will truly enjoy this hybrid!
I was so excited but that's ok, I can wait!!! Purple satellite is popular around here, another one I have yet to attempt. I'm looking forward to watching you grow both, Mel!
I’ve never been a big fan of stimulants, uppers, etc. They don’t do much of anything to me and usually leave me feeling weird and robotic. Coke, adderall, all that kind of stuff just makes my brain empty and unfocused. I do like caffeine though. I was diagnosed with ADHD as a kid and it seems to have stuck around in my brain chemistry. Most pharmaceuticals have the opposite intended effect.Keffka your story sound so much like me it is scary. Downers bring me up and speed brings me down. Been that way forever. But I have to take opiates in order to move but I watch how many I take also I can only get so many a month so in less I want to spend my life in a chair I have to schedule them.Yep! I love a good downer
It’s how I fell in love with opiates for a while. In the beginning I would take them and felt huge bursts of energy and would be able to focus. I could knock out days worth of work in hours. Unfortunately opiate tolerance builds pretty quickly and before I knew it I was taking 150 mg of oxycodone twice a day just to keep the withdrawals at bay. At those levels though, you start nodding off regardless of brain chemistry.
I got off that crap in 2017 and haven’t looked back. Nowadays a good strain is all I need
I guess I just have an addictive personality because it was coke in the 80s. I think
It’s because I had access to so much of it too. Meth in the 90s when I was driving a truck. It’s a horrible drug and you’re addicited + don’t even realize it. And then we have opiates in the 2000s after being hit on my bike 
. I just wish I had a 1/16th of all the money I spent on drugs. Smh CLDon't we all wish we had the money we spent on drugs. Now it is just pot and doctor prescribed drugs. Take that back pot is not a drug at least not to me.I guess I just have an addictive personality because it was coke in the 80s. I think
Hey Jersey, @Bill284 turned me on to using this with the Myco but you have to wet it to activate it. In 24 hours you’ll have white fungus on top of your soil ! Happy growing.

Her second trues are showing and that means, capfuls of Prescription Blend seedling feed are already being implemented. She got 3 cap fulls today and 2 yesterday.
Side note....I dropped her cup in the tent, had her propped up in not the best fashion. Luckily I just shoved the dirt back in the pot, vacuumed and low and behold, no harm done to her. Phew....

Yes! Heights are close in those 2, only off by 1 inch-measured them all this morning!
NYC Diesel-11.5 inches
Amnesia-17 inches
G -13-18 inches
Durban Poison-24 inches
what a range!

So hello all! Sorry I have had some hiccups at home and before getting back to journals or messages, I wanted to take what little time I had these last few days, to catch up on some journals, which I did and I'm feeling so good about it.
I'm going to bring you back in this journal through the 13th so we have a couple days here to view, pre and post feeds. From 2 days ago, just one shot of the tent from the side, Durban had just been fed and the others would be getting fed the next day in this particular picture. Bubblegum had just entered the tent at this juncture
Speaking of feeds, I'm old school and use a dry erase board, no computer logging for me. I have an area specifically for feeding and feed documenting and this is it below
After talking to @Danishoes21, who confirmed for me the possible extent of growth I may see in our Durban Poison. With that said, my plans are to flip this tent at 45 days. Today being Day 32 means we have less than 2 weeks til we transition to flower, holy crap!
Going to have to go out for another bag of FFOF in order to get these 4 up-potted from their 3gl water reserve homes to their final 5gl water reserve homes. The soil will be amended with all dry ingredients used in thr initial potting mix: bone meal, bat and seabird guano, earthworm castings, epsom salt and @DYNOMYCO.
I will be sure to do a thorough up pot post when the time comes since I missed posting the original up pot as this journal was started later than usual.
Let's look at the tent first as a collective then we will finish up with individual pics of the ladies.
I took these 2 shots from the Amnesia/Durban corner of the tent because I felt like you could truly see the impressive girth Uma has
Lastly, let's look at each girl. All beautiful in their own right.
Angelina is still making up for that lost time, starting to fill in some. It amazes me just how much she has grown regardless of her mutant start.
Geneva is your honor roll student, perfect in every academic sense of gardening. I look at her and think, you are the perfect child.
Marilyn proves awesome things come in small packages. She's like me but a plant, short but tough as nails. She probably has me on looks too, but that's OK.
Uma is something else. She is just so thick and tall and on the next Plant of the Day or 2, I HAVE to focus on her trunk. It is unbelievable, especially when I compare it to the others in the tank. I have never had a plant's main be so damn huge. The knuckles on them are just massive. Can't wait to get in there, take pics and show her off to you!
That's all folks! See you guys around the forum, off to respond to many messages! Have a great grow day all!

Hey Dani, this was the DP from DP I grew in 2021. Would this fall into the broad leaf pheno?

To all of you, thanks for sharing your stories (I have been given my share of acronyms through the years), being open and honest aaaaand congratulations on your sobriety from the demon pills/drugs. Also for your anti-pharma lifestyle, as much as you can all control it with your own certain circumstances. I was there from 2016-2018, lost in some depression abyss. Whatever took me somewhere else and made me forget for 15 minutes was on my agenda to find throughout the day. It was a dark time and accountability was #1 priority for me. Always blamed this person or that this happened or that happened but what got me out was nothing short of just acknowledging that at the end of the day, it was my decision to do all this stupid shit. I also hate no, loathe, all of the prescription meds docs tried to have me on over the years. Find your weed and let it heal you I say
Mmmmm I see a new top dressing come transplant time! Thank you my Irish robed buddy!!! That @Bill284....so durn smurtHey Jersey, @Bill284 turned me on to using this with the Myco but you have to wet it to activate it. In 24 hours you’ll have white fungus on top of your soil ! Happy growing. CL
Oh and how I would! Look at her. Yummmmy! Damn I'm so excited for her. Promise to have as much fun as I can!I thought you might appreciate some pics of the broad leaf pheno Durban from Dutch passion.
I can see yours is taking on the same shape kinda, very dominant top cola but all the side branching are vigorously popping up.
That’s when she buds out see the leaf become narrow and more Sativa looking. The buds aren’t fluffy but dense compact. You will have fun with the Durban.
Oh hello there beautiful! See now you two are going to give me the damn Durban itch even more than I already have it! I mean come on, I hope I can grow Durbans like you two!Hey Dani, this was the DP from DP I grew in 2021. Would this fall into the broad leaf pheno?
Hate bugs
I have seen other Durbans (seen online only) and they are very Sativa dominant phenos, rarely when talked about unaltered Durban landrace broad leaf pheno is mentioned. I think there is a South African grower around here that has grown Durban and maybe he can also chip in to see if has seen a broad leaf Durban before.
It’s a stable and reliable source of genetics for a breeding program.
Is it Lerugged too? I know our friend @Carmen Ray is from that way also?
Such healthy plants Krissi but I am now craving antipastiI have told you I'm from Durban haven't I? It's going to be interesting to see what that plant does in stretch. NYC Diesel is a stunner. I agree with Capt. L. about your outdoor adventure.
I love
landrace Sativas and have the utmost respect for everyone that keeps their genetics going 
. CL.
I want to walk into the South African forest and pick my own true Durban seed, I'm so impressed with this gal.
Do you think that's why? Cross breeding? I've had strains that show indica when a sativa and vice versa before but I didn't think it had anything to do with breeding. Hmmm....
Sounds absolutely stellar!
I was wondering where you got that from
Maybe one for you next Clover?!I love

So hello guys and gals, sorry it's been a few days since I've given an update. I did upload some pics over the last 3 days though so you guys won't be behind.
Went to my new oncologist yesterday who gave me a new diagnosis of Polycythemia Vera which ironically, is something that was discussed a year and a half ago with not my first oncologist but my rheumatologist. Said my CEA over 10 shows systemic disease of some kind and promised he would find it. I got approval for my CT scans with contrast and I have to call and set that up for next week. Tomorrow, more blood work...so used to it now..tonight, sleep study-at home throw away device, just have to pick it up from the hospital this morning. So healthwise, we are looking like we are headed, finally, in a direction with answers!
Moving back to the plants though, it is up-pot week! The 4 girls are moving to their 5gl forever homes on Friday, I'll be picking up another couple bags of FFOF today to make it happen. Next Friday is FLIP day!!!! Holy moly how time flies when you're growing weed!
I am raising the light nearly every two days about 2 inches at a time to compensate for Uma's (Durban Poison) growth. With that said, I've had to prop up the other girls higher and be creative with what I had to do so. Using all the wood blocks I have plus some old bonsai pots. Moving forward, after FLIP day, we will be flipping over the 3 gls pots on their heads and using the wooden blocks to even out the canopy as best as I can with the girls at such different heights.
I have neglected doing some fun shots with my plants this grow thus far but I wanted to throw some in today.
I grabbed some individuals the other day but oh how we have grown since friends.
Couple pics of the mainline of Uma just cause
Some group shots over a couple days spread
Bringing us back to this morning where all systems are ready for flower launch come next week. These girls are going to take off in their forever homes!
Miss Blue Cheese believe it or not is probably a 1/4in taller...no new sets but is taller than she was weeks ago...I don't know if I would say that's progress or what being she has a really short shelf life right now. Either way, she is outside, still. Through hot, through lack of humidity, through crazy storms and all.
Which leads me to touch on our soon to be outdoors Bubblegum Auto. Just wanted to note that I have intentions on moving her to her 3gl home come Tuesday at 14 days above ground and letting her go outside for the remainder of her time with us!
The girls are being fed all different days, as they are drinking at all different speeds. Durban was fed on Sunday, G-13 Monday, Amnesia yesterday and today I'll feed our NYC Diesel. Tomorrow it will be time for a 2:1 silica-weeks 3/4 veg mix for Uma again and so the cycle will continue.
Other than that I have no more fun info for you. Baby has been up since 330 so it was a shitty sleep day for me. He's next to me on his tablet but I've got to get going to make him some breakfast cause we have been up a while now.
I can't promise I'll be back on with enough time today to get to messages but I will try as my main attempt is to get through some more journals again before night's end as I don't want to fall too many pages behind and still have some other journals to start from square one. This catching up game is certainly been taking longer than expected but this forum is just chock full of so many grows and interesting and fun reads, it's nearly impossible not to fall behind-not to mention after catching up from 5 months of being gone.
But that's all I'll stop rambling and leave you to your grows. Have a fantastic grow day friends!
your Durban will be wanting her own tent before it’s done. lol Fingers crossed on your health concerns my little Italian robe 
buddy. I’m puffing on my own supply this morning. Even though it tastes like lawn clippings and it’s rough on the throat it hits hard as hell but once it’s cured it’ll be amazing. CL.
