My experience has been the opposite. As a grower they are not my favorite. Slow veggers, finicky when it comes time to finish, and bag appeal is prob the worst of anything I grow. The males are even more finicky, I have trashed more males than females....can’t even make a f2 due to bad male traits. All that really matters is when I put the bud out there, people talk about it. They talk about the cookie hybrids that check every other box, but that only lasts a week. They talk about the dominion skunk for months after it’s gone, wanting more. That’s all I need for my judgement.

no bag appeal ?

that sucks for what you found. I know all I talk about is Helena, which is the only one i've been able to buy yet from duke, but when I had heat problems this spring, it was the only plant to not throw any nanners, all of the females I had in my tent (2 lol). So popped a few more, got a male and female. Male was just the kind of squat looking indica I like, so I hit some HAOGxSSDD with it, and then grew those out. They are the frostiest plants I've grown at week 3, already dense as shit, and I know the potency is HIGH and long lasting with both those strains, and sure enough, it created a KILLER cross, in my humble opinion. I was very pleased with how my first chuck went, and I really think I was able to get a good male from Duke.

you are right, some of the more indica leaning plants definetly are a little slow on the veg

I mean basically yes. It doesn’t look as good as it smokes by today’s standards. People who have smoked it will request it over stuff that is twice as frosty and colorful. Bag appeal is color and friost, it has nothing to do with good weed. 50% of my best keepers lack in the bag appeal dept.

Trust me, what I found does not suck. It just doesn’t appeal to the kids out there who think looks are all that matters. I have most of dukes strains in my vault, screaming eagle is next to flower....I might even have a stable male from that one(finally) to make F2’s. Every male I have gotten from dominion skunk and screaming eagle have dumped pollen in veg so far, but my veg area is not ideal, more like a torture chamber.

oh yeah I understand you for sure. SUPER PLATNUM COOKIE PUNCH GLUE is all people want nowadays, with frosty ass dense golf balls that dont smoke worth a shit.

Dude I feel bad for people that buy multiple packs of this, only reason why I mentioned it, so people may want to try just one and decide before jumping in.

Watch out cuz this post is setup, if you read the whole thread you can tell who's promoting what..

This coming from a person who claims to have grown new releases in a 30 to 60 day time period from seed, comical! Once you lie all credibility is lost. Dukes shit is fire, jealously is a bitch. So lame to shit on great breeders for no good reason, also maybe you are not a good gardener. Just a thought

How could this shit not be fire, and the stuff we have has a buzz that lasts for HOURS. Ive had a few younger people ( 40ss ) Im 61, tell me its the best stuff they've ever smoked.

I got the clone of this Local Skunk pheno yesterday, and its already being introduced to my buddies 1000w Hortilux, and Solacure bulbs, but they will have to be broken in slowly over the course of a week, or so.. It will be used as a mother

No bag appeal???

This pheno from clone produced 8oz in 5 gallons of soil, and a 5-6 weeks veg. We plan on growing them out in 10 gallon containers, and 10 weeks veg. 1000w Gavitas. We grow from Seedling- Veg/Flower both under 1000w. Be it Hortilux HPS, or Gavita. We also use 2 x 32w Solacure UVA/B for each 4 x 4 with Hortilux, and 6 in a 6 x 5 for the Gavitas, and keep them on longer under the Gavitas as they have to be farther away. We keep them the same distance as the 1000w light source. You cant get the Gavita closer than 36in, or they WILL fry. Hortilux we can get as close as 18-24 inches.

We also have another pheno of Local, 2 Granny, and 2 Dominion Skunk. I also have the Munson, and Skunkband on tap. I bought the Skunkband Buy One, Get One. $117 for both. $260 worth of seeds, for $117.

Looks fuego to me. Glad to hear youre finding good things. I have some packs from Duke. I'm most excited for the Granny skunk as I'm pretty sure I've smoked that Va beach afghani back in late 97 and 2010ish. I lived in the 757 for a while.

We also have 2 phenos of the Granny.
1 is sour green apples, hash, and floral, without being sweet.

Second pheno is very floral/fruit, honeysuckle, hashy, no sour at all. Super frosty like the Local photo above.

So far of Granny, Local, and Dominion Skunk..... I have liked the sweet pheno of the Granny the best, with the Local, and Skunk really close to each other for my tastes. All 3 of them are very potent, and though they have the same father, are different enough to warrant keeping a couple phenos of each if possible.

This stuff just knocked a bunch of strains in our garden down the line

While I was worried about that early pom pom style of one of my two Granny phenos they have really opened up to a few rounds of super cropping. I will still have to go through #3 and pull the dead foliage out to prevent mold problems. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say the nicest of the really expressing the Afghani pheno

So is duke really giving up breeding or just talking about it?

Quitting in 2020 is what I hear.

I dont blame him at all. He's been in it basicly his whole life, has served time over this shit, and nowadays all the compettion is just a gang of chuckers going apeshit with thier gelato punch sunset gorilla peyote. I dont know of anybody who puts in the work like he does, and I'd be pretty fucking disappointed if I had worked as hard as he does and this is the clown ass industry you're left with. Theres more snake oil salesmen in this industry than any other i've dealt with in a long long time. Too many people trying to just make a buck, without giving a shit about how they make it.

Yeah I hate all these names people have been given.

For my part all I care about is getting all the old genetics I can.
NL5, Original Sk1, ( and it is around ) Durban, ORIGINAL DURBAN, before it was hybridized with Sk1. ( It Is also around, or was a couple days ago. )Also the early stuff that was crossed with Sk1 is good stuff, if the real deal. Haze, Afghan #1, Black Domina/Crosses, Skelly/Puck crosses, Romulan crosses. Haze/NL5 Crosses/Colorado Cough being one. Real Headband crosses.

Heres a shot of the Original Ed Rosenthal IBL Durban Poison. Pre Sk1..... 80-100 days flowering 100% Sativa. 12-16 feet tall

Bro Mendel??

Yep

What year was that?

These 1982 Durban Poison IBL Heirloom Pre-C.A.M.P. genetics were the reigning queen of the outdoor NLD/sativa before everything went indoors in the mid 80's.

The parental lineage of these seeds you are buying are 1982 (Rosenthal Line) Durban Poison Heirlooms. We've held this line since the mid 90's when we got it from our dear friend and original breeder Dready D (R.I.P)…. NOT to be Confused with Dready Seeds...... who got the genetics directly from Rosenthal. I've IBL'd this line about every 5 years to keep seed stock fresh and to selectively breed for the shortest stature each time. This progeny batch is less than 10 months old at this point. Sweet floral and fruity notes with a backdrop of skunky spice terp profile...smelling this properly cured is like being put in a time machine taking you back to the early 80's! The effects are phenomenally cerebral and uplifting.

Look at the pictures at the bottom. Picture 1 is the last outdoor grow this line ever saw in 1982. Yes that is a 6 foot ladder. These plants can get 12-16 ft outdoors in NorCal. You will get these "Christmas tree" phenos on most of these. However, pheno 2 is not as branch/sparse in early veg and will with indoor with proper selection, flip timing environmental inputs, LST and light height you can get this pheno to form more like image 2. That was about 38 inches trained at just 3 weeks into flower. These take about ~90-100 days to finish indoors depending on your environment. Image 3 is some curing buds from our last run of this. Gorgeous! These can be sensitive to RH swings and do not tolerate it well at all, so make sure to have your RH dialed in. They have shown great pest and disease resistance when grown in clustered in beds as opposed to pots.

This cultivar is for experienced breeders and growers only. Anything less would be like putting a new driver behind the wheel of a Ferrari. Sure it might end well, but why risk it?

Each complimentary wellness pack contains 10+ reg seeds shipped to your door. We always include freebies!

Note* this is a prized curated heirloom from the vault and not an in-house cross.

How’d that turn out for you?
