Manufacturer Information
Genetics & Origin of Durban
Durban is named after the South African port city. There, according to Sensi Seeds, it was the predominant strain of the "dagga" that has grown in the surrounding countryside since time immemorial, and was preferred by local planters for its high, reliable harvests. Via the port it reached other continents – the manufacturer calls it by far the best-known strain in Africa; in its homeland it is also called Durban Poison. Sensi Seeds has acclimatised the line so that it thrives in the temperate north just as it does in the tropics, and describes it as one of the purest Sativa seed lines; the fact sheet states 90% Sativa. The seeds are regular and photoperiod, so they produce male and female plants. You will find another regular classic from the breeder in Jack Herer Regular.
Who Is Durban For?
Durban is a classic Sativa for open ground. It suits:
- Outdoor gardeners in a temperate or cool climate
- Collectors of classic Sativa lines with a known origin
- Selectors and hobby breeders who work with regular seeds
- Growers with space for tall-growing, heavily branched plants
- Consumers with experience looking for a powerful Sativa high
If you want only female plants without any selection work, have little room height or are looking for a gentle, slow-onset high, the strain is a less good choice. You can find more lines steeped in tradition under Classics and Landraces.
Growing Durban: Indoor & Outdoor
Indoor Growing
In the shop, Durban is rated as an outdoor strain, and Sensi Seeds gives no information of its own on indoor growing. What is certain is the flowering time of 50 to 70 days after the switch to 12/12 and the tall growth. If you grow it in a grow room all the same, you should send it into flower early and plan for plenty of room height. As these are regular seeds, it is best to germinate more seeds than the number of plants you want to keep and determine the sex in pre-flowering; male plants are removed if pollination is not wanted. The manufacturer does not state a yield in g/m². You will find the basics in the Growpedia.
Outdoor Growing
Outdoors, Durban plays to its strengths: Sensi Seeds recommends it for cool to cold climates and describes it as robust and heavily branched – unlike the tall, spindly and delicate Sativas from near the equator. Even in poor summers, according to the manufacturer, it delivers good harvests. The yield is described only as lush; the breeder does not state figures per plant or a harvest month. In the shop, harvest is rated for August to September. The regular outdoor seeds offer more choice. Only grow where it is legal to do so.
Effect, Aroma & Flavour of Durban
According to Sensi Seeds, the flowers of Durban have a very distinct aroma of lime and aniseed; the manufacturer does not state a lab terpene profile. It describes the effect as an exceptionally powerful Sativa high that sets in almost immediately and "sends the head into the clouds", while the body seems to stay on the ground. According to the breeder, many consumers speak of a unique effect, a kind of "narcotic Sativa": in larger doses a dreamy high can arise which, however, does not leave you limp and is not soporific as with similarly strong Indicas. Sensi Seeds notes that the fast, strong onset can unsettle less practised smokers. The manufacturer does not state a THC value. How intense the effect is depends on dose and personal tolerance.
