Why aren't people going goo goo gaga over the Durban, isn't that what is unique about the whole thing?? Never heard of these smells coming from og or gdp crosses

That's what I'm talkin' about. I wanna know what the Durban can do to some other heavy hitters other than og and such.
i would love to see some nice f1 durban or some pics of durban..it seems like a rare strain on ICmag. i know the guys in CO were working a purple durban cut that looked real nice...
guerilla i hear that...and i agree. but i will not be releasing any untested genetics.....if i decide to make S1s from the GSC i will do a large test run before selling anything at 100 a pack...if i dont find the uniformity they go to server fund...if i find instability and hermie tendancies they go to the guerilla seed bomb pile.....hope that clears up my position....im also not working with genetics that i simply ran to harborside to get, my circle has been in talks with pretty reputable genetics collecters and breeders in the US and europe to figure out how to do this properly, we are sourcing tried and true pollen and males from the breeders themselves that they used in their own genetics lines, not phenos from their seed releases....for sake of everything id like to keep the identities of everyone involved private for now but stay tuned.....
i do agree that just taking some elite clone, crossing it to another elite clone, and trying to charge 160 bucks a pack is a little steep, but thats the market and if people are willing to pay than so be it.....the way to challenge that process, is to go ahead and make seeds yourself and charge 40 a pack for it and undercut them...but in order to do that properly you would need to source the clone $$$, grow the clones out for 3 months $$$$, pollen hack and test the beans for another 2-3 months $$$, and than if at that point you realize that your seeds are golden, why sell them for cheaper than untested pollen hack experiments? most folks would realize they got bills to pay and try to squeeze as much money out of the last 6 months of work that they can...
its similar to people who are complainig about GSC price for buds or clone....some broke kids are like "whhaaa? 300 a zip? i cant afford that"....well then enjoy your 150 a zip outdoor buddy!! or a grower spending 1500 for a GSC clone, 10k to setup a grow, and then enter the market and only charge 2500 for his GSC packs........the art of business is charging a price that benefits both you and the customer and doesnt leave the producer undercutted or the customer ripped off...

and thanks to Karma for dropping by i think the ideals he follows on seed breeding is something most breeders should adhere too...descriptive details on parents, quality pictures of phenos, good relationship with testers and putting the best possible genetics to market. lots of excellent growers here on IC who are going to breed the cookies the best possible way.
Truth.
Karma's Jack had me peering through the blinds, and thinking they were on to me. LOL.
Mirre is also fantastic.
one more strain i will only see on the screen of a computer, dam, i just read the 83 pages and all the BS and hype aside, seems to be some fine stuff, keep them pics steady flowing guys, dank nuggz are always appreciated!!

I got to sample some Durban last week, an it was fire. Great taste! Tried it side by side with the cookies.
there was/is a durban that won N&J Co..local Co. cutt...tastee just had stronger sally's before imo......
That durban was some fine herb, especially to tackle some of the hard hitting fire it went up against.
Crazyness... I realized today that Ihad a lil jar labelled durban poison, pure land race sativa, in my car, got it as the 5 dollar gram cuz it didnt look like stupid fire. Been smokin that shit all day, happy up ready ta do somethin but my mind aint racen type weed. Ima go back to that club, but they prolly aint got no more cuz that been in the glovebox couple weeks at least.
This is 42 under a 1k in a 4x4 right here. You can def spot the couple sours that tower over the cherries.Not sure about the numbers yet but I'm happy with the results so far. I think these are 5.25 inch pots
Here's a Better picture so you can get an idea of their size right now
Here's a close up of the cherry pie it's at about day 60 cold temps are def getting to her. Alotta the leaves are almost black. Beautiful plant
I've said it from the get go...Durban is what make's cookies so special, but the original durban is not the best looking plant. Very leafy and weird smell that puts many off. I feel the effect from the uppity sativa, coupled with a hard hitting OG and GDP triangle makes this quite a plant. You could easily cross all three in various ways, but to get the best from all 3 would take a lot of time and effort. Although all three are great in their own (Durban, GDP, & OG) to find something with a blend like GSC is a rare gem.
Hard nugs dense as rocks, greasy thc coating, with purple/blue sugar leaves. When broken up she reeks of thin mints and the taste is as distinct as albino pussy. I may go from flowering to just being a motherer, she's that special.

Yeah that's Durban. My friend REv has worked Durban into quite a few crosses he has in storage and running some of that stock now. He got his stock from a friend in South Africa. I love African genetics and Malawi rocks too!
As for GSC I'll be back in the Bay area in a few weeks and maybe next time will run across some...Beuller...Beuller...
