Hi

A while back I was sent some Durban Skunk (Seedsman Seeds) ex stock for free.

I have previously germinated a few (very poor germ rate) but ditched them due to lack of space.

I now have a bit of spare room in my grow room & was just wondering if anyone has grown them & if they were any good.

There is no info any where about this strain & wondered if Seedsman stopped selling them as there were probs with them.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Oh well guess no one knows?

Well Im gonna give em a go, watch this space for for info & poss a grow diary!

If you got them from where I got mine, good luck with germinating them - mine were as dead as a dead thing wink1.gif
Weedsmoker
Yeah I know what u mean!

I only wanted a few but knew there were a prob with these beans, so I used paper towel trick & 40 beans!!!

Got 8 going rest were dead as...um er yeah a dead thing tongue.gif

These have gone into compost.

Fingers crossed they will take.....

I reckon thats why they were free!

Evening Weedsmoker! I saw this thread when you posted it, but just joined

I got loads of these off seedsman. Tried ten paper towel style about 5 weeks ago, and 6 cracked.. only 2 came out of he rockwool though. neglect really, i just couldnt be arsed with them. got two males.. one of which autoflowered! I was gonna do a hack with my crop for outdoor experiments.. but i chucked them in the bin the other day doh.gif

they were still in 3 inch pots.. But i didnt fancy the stray pollen.

I'm gonna try some more though, Guerilla 2008 smoke.gif

Out of the 8....

3 lived.... some never got out of compost...some popped out but stopped growing....

1 started looking a bit mutant but has sorted itself out.

Just gone from 3" pots into 6" pots today.

Looking bloody great next to my 3 mutant DP blueberry.

Will keep you posted.....

Alright Weedsmoker!

Just wondering how your getting on with the female you got?
I just cracked some more of these as back up... Did i read it hermied somewhere?

Wanted to know the extent of the male bits really..
The smell sounds alright though...

Cheers mate. Stonehenge

Yup it hermied... maybe it was me I dunno... 1 of my feminised Blurberry did the same at the same time... picked males flowers off & no problems since.

Looks very runty compared to my BB now & not as healthy... taken on a Sativa pheno...smells great though.

Fingers crossed it will provide something a bit different but in hindsight I would splash out on good seeds... Im going to ditch the rest of these seeds... they are more hassel than they are worth!

Hopefully smoke report to come in about a month!

Well a few months late but im also having a go with the old freebies!

I got like 150 free with my skywalker order, so as im a bit skint and got no seeds thought i would give them a go.
Out of 45 i germed(paper towel meth) about 20 popped through the shell, out of them 10 came through the soil, out of which 4 never got there 1st leaves,3 are mutants with either twisted or odd sized leaves and the other 3 seem to be fine and doing well.

I will add to this thread as the time goes by, will also add some pics later.

Oh there under 400w hps with plagron and biobiz organic

Thought it was time for a update.

Just after my last post my mate gave me some Khola cuttings that where 3 weeks rooted which he got given at a squat party.

So even though my durban were still unsexed and young i put my room into 12/12.
Out of the 5 DS i had going 3 turnt out to be fems and are doing nice even after the stress of early sexing.
These are 3 weeks into 12/12 and theres some pics of the khola aswell
