Durban Thai x C99

We inherited this elite female Durban clone from a group of underground growers last year and proceeded to flower a bunch of them for research. We were blown away by the aromas given off by the flowers – pure black licorice. Also impressive was the plant’s sturdy structure and minimal stretch during flowering – clearly not a Sativa-dominant morphology. After 75 days of flowering, we harvested loads of intoxicatingly fragrant, uber-dense flowers, with resin glands sparkling like crushed diamonds sprinkled all over them. And even a short clone of only 18 inches, yielded over an ounce of primo dried buds.

Naturally we wanted to see what would happen if we crossed this Durban and our Cinderella 99. Our results shocked us a bit because of the increased size of the hybrid plants, and their phenomenal growth rate. This is a classic example of hybrid vigor affecting the offspring. These plants grow big, long “donkey-dick” colas that produce stony, terpene-rich, resin-encrusted buds that will impress even the fussiest connoisseur.

As is often the case when C99 is used to hybridize another strain – the flowering time is reduced and the flavors/aromas shift to a more fruity/floral effect. The high from these Durban C99 hybrids is also shifted by the C99 influence, becoming more energetic, intensely psychoactive and creativity-inducing. A smoke well suited to musicians and artists.

Flowering Time:

We recommend 65-70 days of 12/12 flowering, after the seedlings are 6-8 weeks old.

Morphology:

DC99 grows a big, thick cola and her strong branches support fat, dense buds covered in sparkly resin that reeks of over-ripe tropical fruit. She grows like a big Skunk, the flowers are tight, dense nuggets of resin-encrusted calyxes. This phenotype of this strain is stable – you’ll get consistently uniform plants.

How Does it Smoke?

The bud gives off a sweet, but tart aroma that tickles the nose. The flavor is what you’d expect from the terpenes it gives off… cotton candy smoke. The high is uplifting and cerebral, a perfect choice for creative endeavors.

Growing Notes:

Grow DC99 in the natural “Christmas tree” shape – lollipop the branches to encourage huge colas to form on the ends of each branch. One tall, central stake along the stalk will provide enough support for the entire flowering cycle, her robust branches are capable of supporting the heavy buds.

Yield:

A 48-inch plant yields 4-5 ounces per plant. High yield.

Lineage:
