Planted in regular soil, in the ground, outdoors, south UK. Fed only twice with Tomato food at the start of flowering, watered only 2 or 3 times throughout the whole season.
Genetically, the Nirvana version is a Durban Poison crossed with Skunk#1 but they don't make that clear. Kulu seeds is also, Durban Poison crossed with Skunk#1 but that is actually labeled as that.
Some give an almost aniseedy smell and taste. Some turned blue! Mixed Indica/Sativa looking plant, due I suppose to it's crossing with Skunk#1, really large tight buds but skinny leaves, heavy resin production.
At maturity, even though topped at the 5th node, was well over 6ft. Wind can become a problem due to the plants size. In fact my last grow of Durban x Skunk was cut short by strong winds which snapped the stems maybe a week before perfection...even so, the plant is potent and sticky. Very tough, isn't succeptible to mould or pests.
A really sweet smoke and really benefits from a cure. I liken it to a fine wine!
One of only 2 plants (the other being Hollands Hoop) that I can guarantee for beginners and professionals alike, guaranteed a harvest in even the worst years! Fantastic!

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.
