The Cross
An industry full of Cookies crosses and purple polyhybrids does not need another one. Full Moon Fever goes the other way, taking the racy landrace sativa and strapping it to the Star Dawg chassis.
The Parents
The Durban here is the original 1970s Mel Frank A-line, the black licorice landrace sativa that Ed Rosenthal brought out of South Africa. That line travelled from the port cities of South Africa to the Amsterdam coffee shops and then to Northern California, and it is the espresso of this plant.
Star Dawg is Chem 4 crossed to a Chem D backcross, from JJ NYC at Top Dawg Seeds.
What’s In The Pack
Ten regular photoperiod seeds, males included. Tighter nodes and fatter spears than the Durban carries on its own, plus a chemical licorice note that neither parent produces alone.
In The Garden
70-80 days. Not a pack for a first grow.
Parent-line references: Durban Poison (Mel Frank A-line).
The perfect balance of speed and concentration with this one. Durban poison by itself was always too much for me. After growing this out and smoking it i found that stardawg added the perfect balance to this strain so that i could use it at work. never too stoned and tired, but not paranoid and jittery either. PERFECT BALANCE!
I sprouted half of these and flowered them one at a time. The first was amazing but the rest have all been low yield, low crystal and low odor.
11 seeds in the pack. Dropped four of them and the one that sunk to the bottom didn’t germinate; the other three are going strong and looking great. These seeds didn’t want to pop until they got in the dirt unlike most that started to pop in the glass or wet paper towel. These plants sure are beautiful to look at though and I’ll update on the results when possible.
Started 3 of the 10 Full Moon Fever seeds, 2 females 1 male. All three look tremendous. Cannot wait to see how the girls end up. Male is gone for now. Very pleased with all I have gotten from Green Point seeds.
Next summer’s project
Crazy germination. 3 seeds in distilled water for 2 days and a few in paper towel. One seed left the shell and had 4” taproot, the other two need more time in towel.
No complaints so far, hoping they keep germing…
Finished faster than expected.
First powdery mildew in years despite silica + mulch keeping tent humidity down. Hit this plant anyway. Surprising given the landrace parent and heirloom side—lines that used to be selected for pest and disease resistance.
Looking at the rest of the pack for better phenos. This one didn’t earn another run.
