Ill try smoking more I guess. It was awesome for many hours at first, maybe if I could go back to not being used to it?

What week was it picked at? What did the resin glands look like?

I believe they were all week 12. Some of the durbans had a good bit of amber, and I believe the dxk was more clear/ cloudy and could have gone a bit longer.

Might want to pick a little bit earlier for that Speedy Buzz. Amber resin makes you sleepy

It shouldnāt be an issue for the dxk.
Yeah, the pitfall of not being able to be at your flower tent every day.

Iām really sensitive too. Lots of weed many people can smoke and hang out with their friends no problem and Iāll be curled up on the couch somewhere taking a nap lol. I like weed like that, but not when Iām trying to socialize. I actually canāt even smoke other peopleās weed at a party or anything. I have to sample it first to make sure it doesnāt put me to sleep. Even speedy pot I have to pick before the resin glands turn amber. I like them right when they turn cloudy. I bet itās a lot more perky picked at week 10.
Yup. Nice you had the help though

The weird part is that I donāt really find myself that way. I can fight through burnout, I just prefer not to.
Iām extremely blessed to have a grow partner for sure. Heās an environmental control guru.

I picked my KxD at 68 days. It does the same for me. Starts nice, but you come down hard. I smoke my Jack for the "every day get shit done buzz, and the Hawaiian Haze for my mind moving, body relaxing buzz.
The KxD did yield me over a pound for all the plants. Nice smoke, just not the sativa high I like.

@Old-Ron. Sorry to hear that itās not that uppity Buzz. I guess it took after the Durban. I smoked some of that last night and itās very very powerful, but it knocked me out. Iām surprised it was that dominant in the hybrid. Must be an old Inbred line. Maybe I didnāt even buy Durban? I really thought Iād just picked it too late. All the plants have the same effect? What a bummer. A nice yield isnāt much consolation if the smoke is not your cup of tea . I was thinking it would be a speed machine. Does it have a good taste ? If it did, that came from the Durban as well. Sorry I missed your post 2 weeks agoā¦
@Badgerā¦ how about with you? Still getting burn out off of some of the plants?
I think itās safe to say that hybrid can be scrapped in its current form.

Yeah, Iāve pretty much given up smoking either, and gone back to my sour d.
It sucks, but I would have to agree at this point. Iām still on the hunt though.

The search continues for me as well. Thanks to both of you for giving Kullu Durban a shot. I think its safe to say that either I didnt buy Cannabiogen Durban ( ripped off) or they have recently ruined their Durban. What a bummer. Iāll be getting in touch with them about this.
Consider giving Khalifa Genetics work a shot. His Kullu is very good daytime smoke. Zero burnout.

@smokie1 ā¦Unfortunately the Kullu/Durban has burnout after a long high. Iāve had weed like this. Once you smoke it, you have to keep smoking it every few hours to avoid the burnout. And if you smoke a lot, burnout is unavoidable no matter what you do.
The Durban I used is very dominant in this hybrid, and it is not uppity. Its more Stoney. If I sent you Purple Malawi, try that one instead. Very uppity. Or maybe plan on an early pick with Kullu/Durban. 8-9 weeks. ( were they ādoneā enough at week 8 @Badger, @Old-Ron? Or is this bad advice?)Iām just blown away by how fast these bud. I was thinking 12-13 weeks. Not even close.

I used to find you had to cure sativa Dom here and I indica Dom was sometimes better after a thorough dry.
My friend agreed with me with the outdoor thing here. You think itās ok but no market for it. After 2-4 months cure it comes in as a niche product that has many good effects but somewhat harsh in taste, itās effects are more therapeutic and broader hitting. But still no commercial opportunities as taste is compromised by cold weather and is more loose bud. Early darkening solves this or larger autos timed for mid august harvest where you will find people will mistake it for indoors.

@smokie1 Good to see you around again. Did the sun finally come out in the UK?

Durbans a port, anything that went thru there was called Durban.
So there really isnāt a durban strain just a namesake.
However the best so called Durbans are not of any indica but sativa rocket fuel and tastes of black licorice or also a slight grapiesh taste, which is a terp of the black licorice.

Yup. You nailed it. Durban seems to be a conglomerate of more than several varieties. The āDurban Poisonā that was made in San Francisco in the 70s was a mix of the two best plants out of nearly 20 the guy grew. I believe these two plants were probably hybrids of local sativas and an unknown indica.
āPoisonā is what the colonialists called all weed as a derogatory term to discourage useā¦ Durban Poison was a name used for marketing by the " inventor" of the strain everyone came to love. The true makers of strains from near Durban were local South African Tribals. All the guy from San Francisco did was pick the best two out of 20 or 17ā¦ whatever it was.

@Upstate mine I cut at 66 days. They were done. Not sure it would have helped to cut it under 60 days. They just didnāt look ready.
I have a couple clones I took of it I am growing out. I had a couple friends who enjoyed it, and the meds helped them. I will see how goes this time
The 2 clones are on the left side. They went into flower 3 weeks ago.
