Grow Diary β€” Week 30: Durban Poison Outdoor Grow Journal β€’ Eastern Colorado β€’ October 2026 Week 30 Update, day 209β€” 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.

Nutrients remain the same, and will continue so until ripening. Bulking has slowed down over the last week, as expected. I am hoping she will give me one last growth spurt, but maybe I am being wishful! Res was changed on D100, because well, yano, it was its hundredth birthday :) Pistols are slowly starting to curl, but it appears new ones are still coming through. A few days ago I managed to climb to the back, there are some heavy nuggets at the back of the canopy that I can't take a picture of, from the door. I have a feeling I need to buy some more jars 🀞

Time flies when youre having fun! 😁 Getting stacked and approaching the final stages... itΒ΄s gonna be tricky since they some look closer than others! Have to keep an eye and start with the daily inspections πŸ˜‰ This grow I was focusing more on quality and it seems itΒ΄s an improvement from the last one! 😍 β€οΈπŸ’›πŸ’š

420Fastbuds FBT2312/Week 3 What up grow fam. Weekly update for these stunning girls. Up to this point they've been growing picture perfect . Not really doing anything special besides still feeding nutes every other watering 500ml. I'll double the feed this week taking it to 1000ml/1 liter per every other day. Not seeing any burn signs from introducing nutes so will keep that the same strength. All in all Happy Growing

Comenzando un nuevo cultivo de 12 semillas Jamaican Dream de Eva Seeds. Sustrato 50% turba, 50% vermiculita con un pH de 4.0, por lo cual tuve que agregar dolomita para subir el pH del suelo a 5.5. 1.-Germinando directo en sustrato. 2.-al indoor para aprovechar la temperatura que genera el led, los días estÑn algo helados y debo mantener la temperatura sobre los 20 grados Celsius, aproveche de espolvorear algo de great white sobre el sustrato y agregar mÑs agua. 3.-aun nada, ansiedad x1000 😰, espero que al menos germinen 9 de las 12. 4.- Día 1, Por fin germinaron!!!!, 12 de 12, la ultima estÑ asomando, ya les saque el plastico y les di el primer riego de agua 6.0pH con voodoo juice, tarantula y piranha, 1ml por litro de cada uno. Feliz!! 😁 5.- Día 2, ya estÑn mostrando las primeras hojas de un solo dedo, 2~4cm de altura. Ahora a esperar que salgan las primeras hojas verdaderas para empezar a contar como primera semana de vegetación.

Day 106 Flower 64. 17.03. Hallo Leute. Hat die an Glitzer zugelegt. 😍 Plus weiterhin Gewicht Zunahme. Und Volumen. Der Kohlgeruch ist komplett weg. Es bleibt ein Geruch nach heißem Plastik. + 3 Wirklich 3 GerΓΌche, die ich als Großmeister noch nie gerochen habe. + Weed. PLANET SUHH. Dort ist der Geruch wohlbekannt. PLANET ERDE. Der Grower ( mich) staunt. Der Rauch steht noch aus, aber wow. Sowas von, ja krankhaften ( nicht aufzuhalten, Manisch, enervierend ) WACHSTUM. Erst pumpen sich Knospen auf, dann werden sie hart, und danach pumpen sie in gleicher Weise weiter. Also habe ich harte geile Knospen mit bis zu 32 % Thc. Ohh, das ist viel. Sehr viel um genau zu sagen. HΓ€ngt auch genug dran. Bin zufrieden. In, wie nennt es ANESIA? Psychedelisch. Oh je. Habe trotzdem Lust drauf. Mein Gehirn schreit JAAAA. Danke fΓΌrs liken lesen und alles. 19.03. Day 66 der blΓΌte. Schnick schnack schnock: DARKNESS fΓΌr 3 Tage. 20.03 (Pferdewiehern) WIIIHIHIHHHIIII Leute in meinen Zelt , sind gerade 2 Bomben am trocknen. Diese hier und ne Future 1. Explosive Mischung sage ich nur . 23.03. es ist vollbracht. Gecuttet. AufgehΓ€ngt. Eine Testbund von unten wurde zerkleinert zum trocknen, konsumieren. Selbst die StΓ€mme waren Gummiartig klebrig. 25.03. Wie die Testbud war? ICH KANN MICH NICHT ERINNERN!😳 Ich habe den ganzen Abend davon geraucht. ... Sandelholz Zitrone Aroma.. das weiß ich noch... Aber Turn... Γ„hh tut mir leid, ich kann mich nicht erinnern.. πŸ˜³πŸ˜‚ 27.03. geil, ich kann's kaum Erwarten bis alles fertig ist.

πŸ‘‰The daily routine of twice daily fertigation has given me a small insight as to what Phil Conners may have gone thru. There has been promising changes however that re-assure me that the plant is indeed maturing and will finish soon. The top leaves are starting to fade, and a couple of amber trichomes have been spotted! So far the amber color is light, almost yellow, and should darken up a bit by harvest time. At the rate they seem to be getting cloudy/milky I could be harvesting in as little as 3 days, but that is just wishful thinking I'm sure. I'm hoping no more than 10 more days. But I will let the plant decide...as long as there are only a few clears and the rest cloudy then I will harvest. πŸ‘‰I took one small cola tip bud from an upper level, secondary branch. It weighed 30g with leaves, 10g trimmed and when dried to 20% should be 2g. I did this to be able to inspect the buds with a little more stability when using the USB scope. Those pix are the first 6 on this page. πŸ‘‰Nutrient mix is the same recipe: week 11 on the General hydroponics flora series drain to waste chart. I reduced the concentration to 1ms from 1.3. The saturation level for the pot is averaging around 1lt per fertigation. I give it 2.5l at lights on, and 2L 1-2hrs before lights off. For some reason this grow session there is a persistent/prolific algea growth on the outside of the pot (cloth pot). I have the same fan setup Ive been using all year. It may be that when I didnt spray the pot off for a couple week the algea got a firm hold on the pot. I use a pressure sprayer with a H2O2 solution (1gallon water with 60ml h202) to spray off the exterior of the pot every couple days. THis keeps it at bay somewhat. After harvest I will cut open the cloth pot to see if the algea extends inside the pot any and if has affected the roots. πŸ‘‰ While trichome hunting is very kewl if good pictures are taken, its very frustrating to get a decent pic due to any slight shake causes the pic to blur. When doing daily eye loop inspections I dont turn off the grow lights or fans. But when trying to get pix I turn off all the fans and both grow lights. This helps a little when trying to take pix with the USB scope.I have the small scope mounted on a tripod and that eliminate my own movement, but just trying to focus proves to be tedious because any touch causes the image to shake wildly, which results in very slow progress as I search around the plant and try for decent pix. Today I got a tube extension set for my 35mm DSLR. It turned my regular 55mm lens into a macro lens. While its not the same as a regular macro lense, its way cheaper....35$ for the tube set as opposed to 300$ for an actual macro lens. THe high resolution allows me to get sharp images with a deeper feild of focus than the scope. I still need lots of practice and need to work on lighting. I included some cropped and un-cropped macro shots done with the camera. The other macro shots are the USB scope. You can see its still got plenty of clear, lots of cloudy, and an amber here or there. The areas that I have touched have strands of resin that look almost like spider silk. SOOOOOO frosty! Santa is going to really enjoy his milk and cookies when he visits my house.

On day 13 they recieved higher nutriens EC 1 PH 6.4 Topped 4 plants on day 17 On day 17 I gave them another too hot nutrients solution EC 1.8 PH 6.5 can see some problems (in my opinion its nuts burn due not me realizing that soil was already a bit pre-fertilized + pushing everything too far due to its my first grow I found out at day 17, when I saw first signs - sadly I topped them that day and I brought them a lot more stress πŸ˜’ Transplanted plants into final 15l pots on day 20 Right now they are getting RO water only, will feed on day 22 again with EC of 0,9 I will aim for 6.2 PH as well EDIT: couple of people confirmed nutrients burn, so since I transfered 1l pots into 15l fresh lighmix, I will not feed until day 26 - they will get only hydro roots with RO water EDIT2: Forgot to write info about my light schedule - running lights at 240W and right now I am hitting around 375 PPFD with 18hrs on - so that is around 24.3 DLI :) I am checking it with LUX meter and converting to PPFD - then DLI
