Durban Poison – Genetics & Origin

Durban Poison originally came from South Africa to Holland and was stabilised over many generations through inbreeding during the 1970s, allowing this pure Sativa landrace to gradually adapt to the windy, rainy climate of Northern Europe. Despite occasionally showing Indica-like leaf shapes in its early growth, it clearly reveals its Sativa dominance by the end, with long, resinous buds and a THC content of around 16 to 20 %. If you're after another Dutch Passion Sativa with a similarly energising effect, the Orange Bud offers a fruity alternative in our range.

Who Is Durban Poison For?

Durban Poison is ideal for growers seeking a robust, mould- and pest-resistant landrace with classic Sativa character. Thanks to its resilience it can even be grown outdoors at extreme northern or southern latitudes. Consumers who appreciate an energising, uplifting and clear-focused high for daytime use will get full value from this strain. Growers who value authentic, unadulterated landrace genetics will also be won over by Durban Poison.

Growing Durban Poison: Indoor & Outdoor

Indoor Growing

Indoors, Durban Poison is ready for harvest after 8 to 9 weeks and delivers an above-average bud-to-leaf ratio with solid yields.

Outdoor Growing

Outdoors, given enough room for the roots, the plant can grow 2 to 3 metres tall and develops strong side branches that carry the heavy, resinous buds. Harvest takes place at the start of autumn. Only grow where it is legal to do so.

Effects, Aroma & Flavour of Durban Poison

The effect is typically Sativa: energising, uplifting and clear-focused — ideal for active days rather than relaxed evenings. On the palate, Durban Poison offers a spicy, slightly hazy flavour with a touch of anise, liquorice and cloves. The often dark green buds are also mould- and pest-resistant, very robust and consistent with good yields. If you're after another outdoor-suited landrace from the Dutch Passion range, Frisian Dew offers an equally robust alternative.
