The Durban Violette has been growing some impressive buds, and is a couple weeks away from harvest. Three new cannabis seedlings on the grow - a Pink Kush, an Orange Apricot, and an Apricot Kush.
Durban Violette blooms
This Durban Violette cannabis plant has had eight weeks of bloom time, it's looking like one or two more weeks until harvest.

This plant had a longer vegetative growth time, and even some outdoor time, this mature plant has some good sized buds.

The buds still have a dank peanut butter scent to them, and a sweet lemon scent emerges when they're bumped into. This strain's terpenes are described as having Hops, Pine, and Mint flavors, I'll have to wait until harvest to verify.
The buds have light and dark greens, some purple tones, bright orange, yellow, and white pistils, and a dusting of THC trichomes. The majority of the fan leaves have fallen, clearing the way for the bud leaves to receive more light as they finish.

Pollinated Branch
The lower left branch bud was pollinated with Apricot Kush pollen a few weeks ago, many cross strain seeds have grown.

The pistils started to turn bright orange within days of pollinating. The pistil pair pods started to swell with seeds, some have split open to reveal the Durban Violette x Apricot Kush cross pollinated seeds.
Half orange and half white pistils, this Durban Violette cannabis plant is looking like one or two weeks until harvest.
Pink Kush seedling
The Pink Kush seedling has had two weeks of growth since sprouting. The leaf growth was stalled for the first week, the plant was busy with root growth it seems.
Three Days
The plant took off during it's second week of growth, with the seedling adding many new sets of leaves.
Two Weeks
Orange Apricot seedling
The Orange Apricot seeds are from the crossing of the Orange Barb and Pink Apricot strains, this seedling has had two weeks of growth.
Three Days
A little slower growth on the first week, but by the end of the second week many sets of leaves had grown. I'll have to transplant these seedlings soon, to give their roots more room to grow.
Two Weeks
This could be a bud producing female, or a pollen producing male - if it's female then I'll smoke the buds. If it's male then I'll save the pollen to cross back into a female Orange Apricot (the next one I grow), to start to stabilize the crossed strain seed. I will clone this plant before putting it into bloom mode, just incase it is a bud producing female, then I could get a second bud harvest.
Two Weeks
Apricot Kush seedling
Almost the first week of growth for this newly sprouted Apricot Kush seedling. After a few days of soaking in water, the seed popped open. After a few days in a damp paper towel in a plastic bag the seed had a good size tap root tail, it was ready for planting.

A couple days later the seedling started to rise above the soil, a couple days later I had to raise it closer to the light so it wouldn't start to stretch up too much.
Three Days
This Apricot Kush seedling started growing it's second set of leaves by the end of week one. It's off to a good start, fingers crossed this one's a female cannabis plant.
One Week
Hopfully it is a girl!
With the two non feminized seedlings, I'll have to max out the Pink Kush bud growth, just in case :D
Looking really good bro, those buds looking amazing. 🔥
!WEED
Thanks, the colors are finally filling in on the chunky buds. I snipped a couple little lower buds that finished up early, going to test those in a couple days :)
your tops look 🔥🔥🔥
nice and fat
Thanks, they have that big bud structure, I'm curious to see how this strain will bud on a shorter veg cycle.
That’s a whole lot of smokin…..
The bud cup overflowith these days :D
Wow, you have some good stuff growing there! Must keep you nice and relaxed!
I find it a nice way to unwind after a long day :D It seems to be a smoother buzz with the homegrown too.
You get to choose the strain that best suits you when it's homegrown, and you know exactly how it was grown too which is a huge plus!
Always looking great! 🔥
Thanks man, as you know, indoor grow gives the consistent results :)
Beautiful buds on them look fire !
Canadian grow fire, I'm looking forward to the taste test :D
Excellent photos.. those buds are looking phenomenal.. NICE!

holy buds are really biggers than before, what kind of earth are u using?
Thanks, just potting soil, but I did have this plant in the vegetative growth phase twice as long as my other grows before going into bud mode, I think that's why the larger bud size. The next time I grow this strain I'll grow for the regular veg time to see how much of the size comes from the strain genetics :)
