Durban Poison Feminized

Despite its sinister moniker, Durban Poison's potent psychoactivity is pure pleasure. This South African landrace has an average THC content of 17%, but it can reach 25% through optimal cultivation techniques. After years of selective inbreeding, which eliminated undesirable traits such as hermaphrodite tendencies and small calyxes, it was finally introduced to the market in the early 80s. The strain became an instant hit amongst Amsterdam homegrowers since it's one of the very few Sativas that can thrive in the climate of northern Europe.

Aside from its sought-after and high-quality grow inclinations, it gained worldwide popularity for its sweet fragrance and head-to-toe enlivening effect. It's ideal for tokers who want to stay productive and keep up with life's hustle and bustle. When consumed for medicinal purposes, it may mitigate fatigue, stress, depression, anxiety and chronic pain.

Growers (whether beginners or experienced) and concentrate producers will love Durban Poison's over-sized, sparkling trichome crystals. The plant produces medium to heavy yields, flowers faster than most Sativas, and is straightforward to cultivate. To make things even simpler, Homegrown Cannabis Co. offers it in feminized seed form, which pretty much eliminates the complicated process of gender segregation.

Growing Durban Poison from Feminized Seeds

Depending on where Durban Poison is cultivated, it can grow medium to large. It reaches for the skies when reared outdoors, but is manageable indoors as long as the right training techniques are implemented. The buds are dense and compact like an Indica but are also long and tapered like a true Sativa. Arguably, this strain's most head-turning trait is the shimmering blanket of milky-white trichomes that gives its flowers an incredibly gluey texture. Its leaves are a luscious forest green, while the pistils are bright orange.

Unlike other Sativas, Durban Poison, being of landrace heritage, has a sturdy main stem and branches. It won't need any support for its heavy colas, but for best output it pays to grow it somewhere with favorable conditions.

Indoors, if vertical space is limited, implementing a Screen of Green (ScrOG) setup will help. This restricts the plant's height, making it grow wide with an even carpet of colas. Topping also encourages multiple apical colas instead of just one.

As for the environmental requirements, maintain a temperature of around 70 to 79°F and keep the humidity level between 40% and 50%. With a suitable grow method and correct provisions, up to 1.31 ounces of sticky buds can be harvested per square foot after only 7 to 9 weeks of fruiting. If outdoor conditions are optimal – i.e. warm, sunshiny, and Mediterranean-like – you can grow it al fresco. If all goes well, each plant can produce around 17 ounces of lovely, dense nugs by late September in the northern hemisphere.

Fragrance and Flavor

Durban Poison emits a very distinct blend of sweet, spicy, earthy and woody fragrances. When lit up and inhaled, its intoxicating vapor coats the tongue. It tickles the palate with a complex concoction of flavors, the most distinguishable of which are the notes of pine, botanicals, sandalwood and wet loam.

Effects

By today's vertigo-inducing standards, Durban Poison's average THC load of 17% may be unimpressive. But the effects of any given cannabis do not depend only on the amount of THC in the buds: terpenes and other cannabinoids play a critical role as well. This Sativa landrace, in particular, is known for its potency despite ranking low in the numbers game. What's more, once it takes hold, it doesn't release its grip for up to three hours.

Durban Poison delivers an outstanding euphoric blow that instantly uplifts the spirit. It induces a positive, worry-free mental state that allows the mind to focus on the good things in life. Creative new ideas rush in while the body experiences a boost in vigor. It's excellent for daytime use, and useful for whenever you need to be productive.
