Durban Poison Seeds 🇿🇦
G’day, growers! If you’re looking to buy Durban Poison seeds in Australia, you’ve found the right spot. This legendary, near-pure Sativa landrace from the South African port city of Durban is famous for its stimulating, clear-headed high and classic flavour. It’s a perfect daytime smoke and a grower’s delight — a true shot of energy in a bottle. —
Quick Stats
Durban Poison is a world-renowned Sativa landrace with THC typically in the 15–20% range (some cuts and lab reports note higher, up to ~25%). She’s a moderate-to-high yielder, pulling 450–650 g/m² indoors after a 9–10 week flower. Outdoors, expect around 450–650 g per plant in ideal conditions. She grows tall and lanky, so light training keeps her in check.
The Legend
Durban Poison is a preserved landrace line from the Durban region. She reached the US in the 1970s via cannabis explorers like Ed Rosenthal and, through that network (including Sam “the Skunkman”), became a cornerstone of Dutch breeding and a coffee-shop staple — clean, energetic Sativa power with old-school terps.
Funny Fact: In the ’70s, the pioneers were weed archaeologists — globe-trotting to find and preserve landrace genetics so classics like Durban didn’t vanish.
Flavour & Aroma
Durban’s terp profile is unmistakable: pungent, bright, and spice-shop bold.
- On the nose: Sweet licorice/anise over earthy funk, lifted by crisp pine and citrus as you break the buds.
- On the tongue: Sweet-spicy inhale with anise leading; smooth exhale with fresh pine, lemon, and a whisper of pepper.
Matty’s Take: “Fresh spice bag with an earthy backbone. Proper old-school terps that get the brain firing.”
Effects & What to Expect
This isn’t couch-lock — it’s get-up-and-go. Durban delivers a clean, cerebral rush that sharpens focus and lifts mood.
First wave: Fast, clear head-high — energy and creativity without the jittery edge many sativas can bring.
Then the settle: Long-lasting, focused buzz for creative work, social time, and outdoor missions.
How I Grow Durban Poison (Matty’s Way)
Skill Level: Intermediate
She’s tough and sun-loving. Being a Sativa, she will stretch. Outdoors she gets massive; indoors, manage height. Use light-touch training — LST or a SCROG — to open the canopy and keep things even.
Matty’s Feeding & pH Know-How: “Durban likes it a touch acidic: 5.8–6.2 in coco/hydro, 6.0–6.5 in soil. Moderate feeder in veg, then give her a sensible bloom boost.”
Pro-Tips:
- Space: Top early and use LST to tame vertical growth.
- Climate: Heat-tolerant; drop RH in flower to dodge mould as colas fill in.
- Harvest: Don’t rush — she fattens and polishes in the last two weeks.
Grow Log: Inside the Tent 📅
| Phase/Week | Key Action/Status | Matty’s Tip |
|---|---|---|
| Weeks 1–3 | Seedling / Early Veg | Looks lanky — top after the 5th node and start LST early. |
| Weeks 4–6 | Veg / Pre-flower Stretch | She stretches hard — keep the canopy even and fill your footprint. |
| Weeks 7–9 | Flowering / Bud stacking | Switch to bloom nutes and reduce humidity. Prioritise airflow. |
| Weeks 10–11 | Final Bulking / Flush | Watch trichomes. 7–10 day flush polishes flavour and smoothness. |
Matty’s Advanced Notes (For the Nerds) 🔬
- VPD & RH: ~1.0–1.2 kPa in veg; ~1.3–1.5 kPa late flower. RH ~40% late flower.
- PPFD: 600–900 in peak flower — she’ll use it.
- EC targets: Late veg 1.0–1.2; mid-flower 1.6–2.0. Watch tips.
- Airflow: Sativa structure can get leafy; keep air moving to prevent rot and boost resin.
