Hi
I am creating this thread to provide a realistic info on Sensi Seeds' Durban strain that can be found here amongst the strains of the "cool/cold" climatic zones section.
The Sensi Seeds website info says: "Sensi Durban captures all these qualities in form that can flourish in temperate north as easily as in the tropical zones. Our acclimatised Durban is one of the purest Sativa seed-strains available today and she's very different from the tall, spindly, extra-sensitive Sativas found closer to the equator. Durban is heavy-branching, robust and even in the worst summer she can produce stunning harvests of sparkling, sticky buds with a distinct lemon-aniseed flavour."
Now the reality check. Pictures show two stands, both located in England, around 53'50"N latitude.
1st stand.
Back garden, rich organic soil, lots of sunshine, especially in the midday-afternoon, good cover from northerly winds.
04/09
No flowering.
29/09
About 10th day in flower. Summer has ended week ago.
Compare this to the same garden and different genetics, 28/09/2013
2nd stand.
Guerilla grow in the woods, 11l pots filled with commercial gardening compost.
Operation aborted. Durbans are in a very early stage of flowering, just as the one in the backgarden. Different setting, the same genetics, the same result or, more like, lack thereof. No "stunning harvest" this warm and dry summer. Plants are only fit to be chopped and composted in hope for the next year's season (when Nepal x Hindu Kush will be used).
If anyone else has any pictures of this year's Sensi Durban, please feel free to share.
