I'm proud of my Derpy DurP.
It's a problem child, sure, but I'm committed to finishing out this grow just to see how much I can salvage. Enter: DurP, day 32 of 12/12:

This is my second Durban Poison grown from breeder's seed and my second hermaphrodite. This time around the hermie was most likely stress-induced; mistakes have been made and conditions are not ideal. I'll list some of the issues below.

Just to be clear, I'm not looking for advice. I know this plant has its problems. I'm only here to share this big, beautiful, 2020-is(was)-a-trash-fire grow with the world. Enjoy.

Happy almost New Year.

Lots more to come.

  • Known issues/stresses:
    • Low soil pH - nute lockouts
    • Vegged too long in the same bucket and the bucket is only ~4gal - almost certainly root bound
    • Topped many, many times while waiting for the flower room to become available
    • LST too hard too late - split main stem in two
    • Low temps, low humidity (welcome to winter)
    • Banana plucking
Derp.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! šŸ„³
Just a little video for your viewing pleasure. It seems to be doing a little better, definitely packing on the buds (and nanners.) Pluck pluck pluck. šŸ™„

Top down - Low pH causing Mg issues, among others.

I wouldnā€™t call it ā€˜healthyā€™šŸ˜… but thanks!
Iā€™ve grown Papaya by Nirvana seed co. It was exactly as advertised. A little slow to start, but a beautiful, flavorful and potent plant that exceed expectations.

Gave it a bath last night, since the runoff pH was so low. Itā€™s definitely root bound and drains like a clogged sink, but I flushed it with many many gallons of lukewarm tap water and finished it off with a full course of mild nutes: tiger bloom, big bloom and cha ching, with a little magnesium sulfate and blackstrap molasses.

Showing even more yellow today, but the buds have added significant weight in the past 24hrs so it could be worse.

Doing better since the flush. Still a total f*ckng mess, but hey, it's shaping up to be a solid harvest. Very interesting smell on the fingers post-groping...root beer without the vanilla; spicy, sweet perfume. Should make for some tasty extracts.

Day 50
Just took some more pics.

I swear this plant thinks itā€™s a banana. Not only does it grow bananas, but it seems to be ripening like one too. Yellow with brown spots šŸ˜†

Iā€™m amazed at how this plant continues to add bud weight and trichomes despite a lack of chlorophyll. It would almost certainly be larger if it were in a bigger container without the pH issues, but itā€™s still pumping out those cannabinoids and it smells amazing, so...onwards!

A haiku:

Derpy and yellow,
yet purple; sticky sweet too.
A canna-conundrum.

Snipped a test bud today.

Day 53:
Video time!

The Derpy Durp is by far the yellowest plant I have ever grown. Not sure if itā€™ll make it past day 60 at this rate, however, the trichomes are mostly clear/cloudy so they still need time to ripen, and - surprisingly - there is still some new bud growth. Time will tell.

Threw that test bud from the post above into my pax and let it rip. Not too shabby. A nice heady buzz with definite potency. No seeds either, which was a pleasant surprise. Anyway...

Day 56.
Goodnight, you beautiful mess. May your derpyness never be forgotten.

Took a lot of photos today.
With flash, without flash, in natural light, in artificial light, under a macro lens, under a wide lens, before trim, after trim.

Buds are rock solid and frosty, however they're nowhere near as large as other buds I've grown under similar conditions. We'll have to wait till they're dried and trimmed to see how they truly stack up. The smell is wonderful and the color is incredible. Dried buds should have a nice purple tint to them. If I had to guess, total dry, trimmed weight will be 5oz. Not bad for one plant as Derpy as this one šŸ’œ

Here it is, harvest day: Derpy DurP - Dutch Passion's Durban Poison.

Hanging in there. šŸ‘. Should be some good smoke regardless.
well done to deal with issues to limp it to the finish line. So tough when rootbound. šŸ™

And so it ends. Total weight including dry trim (which is more like ā€˜shaved budā€™ since I wet trimmed first) is 95g. 81.6g trimmed buds and 13.4g frosty trim.

Upper buds are pretty dense but not very large. Biggest bud is only 2.6g, but theyā€™re all beautiful and they smell great. I have only found a handful of seeds located in just a couple of bud sites, so either the plucking worked or it just failed to make much viable pollen; either way Iā€™m pleased itā€™s not full of seeds. Flavor out of a vape is pretty decent and will certainly get better with a cure. Potency and buzz is great. Iā€™m hoping to have it lab tested soon and will post results if/when I do.
