Genetically, the Nirvana version is a Durban Poison crossed with Skunk#1 but they don't make that clear. Kulu seeds is also ...continued

I started them and stressed them quite a bit but they still grew very well. Out of 2 surviving plants both were female. Unfortunately they turned hermie early on in flowering. They had much greater potential and would have been much more potent if they didn't get pollinated.

The plant is suppose ...continued

Garden grew to ~20inches but I flowered a little earlier than normal. Bud Blaster also helped control the height. They seemed to like it on the dry side, and su ...continued

100% germination. Got 2 nice females and 2 phenotypes. Both were quite easy to grow.

Pheno#1:
I heard this strain is a cross between durban poison and a Dutch Skunk. Well I think this was more on the skunky side than the other one.
This pheno came up quite unexpected. It was my smallest plant (planted later than the other ones) and didn't get very much attention until it started flowering.
Vegetative growth was good but nothing special. Large, light green, 7-fingered leaves which, after topping, turned into smaller 5-fingered leaves.
This pheno started flowering first. After 2 weeks it started turning purple. I was very surprised and it looked very nice throughout flowering. The leaves also turned into a darker green colour. Very good looking plant. The smell was very fruity.
This pheno also yielded best though it was the smallest. It had 4 long colas.
The smoke on this one is fabulous. Not super strong but still the best of all. I really loved the taste, especially after one month of curing. Best tasting strain I ever had.
This was in avery aspect the best of the 2 phenos

Pheno#2:
This pheno leaned more to the durban poison side, I think.
This pheno did best in vegative state. Fimmed it once. Light green leaves troughout the whole life of this plant.
Flowering was a little disapointing. It started flowring only a few days after the other one but looked like it was developing much slower. Actually the buds just weren't going to get that big. It were all small buds with not much crystals. This pheno also turned purple in late flowering.
The yield wasn't very big with all those little buds.
Smoke was almost as potent as the other pheno though it had less crystals.

I was very pleased with the results except for potency but that's not the most important thing for me.
