About Durban Poison Feminized Seeds
Durban Poison: A Legendary South African Landrace
Durban Poison is a 100% pure Sativa landrace strain, native to the port city of Durban in South Africa. Since its discovery in the 1970s, it has earned a reputation as one of the most sought-after cannabis strains in the world, and has served as the genetic foundation for countless well-known hybrids.
Origins
Cannabis activist, grower, and seed hunter Ed Rosenthal brought this landrace strain to the United States, where he passed it on to Mel Frank, author of the 1978 "Marijuana Grower's Guide Deluxe." Frank refined the genetics for higher resin production and a shorter flowering time, helping Durban Poison become a staple among Amsterdam's growers and coffeeshops, where it remains a mainstay to this day.
Characteristics
Durban Poison is instantly recognizable for its large, chunky, resin-drenched buds and thick coating of trichomes. The flavor is spicy and fresh, with earthy, citrus, and slightly sour notes balanced by a sweet undertone, while the aroma is fruity and inviting.
Effects
With THC levels typically above 20%, Durban Poison delivers a clear, energizing high. Known among growers and users alike as the quintessential "cerebral" strain, it lifts energy and mood and is also valued for its appetite-boosting effects, making it a favorite for daytime use.
Growing Tips
Durban Poison is relatively easy to grow, even for beginners. Germinate your seeds in sterile soil or with the paper-towel method, and keep temperatures between 72-80°F (22-27°C) during the first weeks. Indoors, it typically flowers in around 9 weeks; outdoors, plants can grow tall and reward you with generous yields of 500g or more per plant. Protect outdoor plants from pests, feed lightly with nitrogen, and favor phosphorus and potassium during flowering.
A Word of Caution
Because its high can be intense, Durban Poison is best suited to more experienced consumers. If you're new to this strain, start low and go slow.
The Final Word
Durban Poison is a timeless classic: versatile, powerful, and relatively easy to grow. An authentic landrace strain that lives up to every bit of its legendary reputation.
