DP – DURBAN POISON
DURBAN POISON is a sativa-dominant strain with a unique, enticing aroma. It is known for its spicy taste with hints of aniseed, licorice, lemon and clove. This complex aroma is one of the reasons why Durban Poison is in such high demand from repeat growers.
DURBAN POISON‘s buds are very dense compared to typical sativa buds. Growers can expect vigorous plants with many lateral branches. Most phenotypes have a tendency to stretch too much, so be aware if height restrictions in your tent could be a potential problem.
DURBAN POISON is a classic variety, tough enough to grow in outdoor conditions even in extreme north/south latitudes. The Durban Poison seed originates from South Africa and was crossbred for many years in the 70’s.
With each successive generation, Durban Poison became more and more adapted to the windy and rainy conditions of Northern Europe. In outdoor conditions, it has the potential to become a really large plant, up to 3 m. Indoors it will stretch a lot, so some height management techniques are recommended.
DURBAN POISON is a pure landscape Sativa dominant strain originating from South Africa. Plants may initially display broad indica-style leaves, but towards the end of the flowering period the plant allows for sativa dominance to display long flowers pierced by thin sativa-style leaves.
DURBAN POISON has become a cornerstone of today’s cannabis market. This Sativa dominant strain originates from the South African city of Durban and stands at the base of the famous GSC (Girl Scout Cookies) pedigree/line that produced strains such as Sherbet and Gelato.
DURBAN POISON is ready to harvest 8-9 weeks after the 12/12 switch. Outdoors, it can reach maximum heights of 3-4m and is harvested in early/mid autumn.

We recommend a shorter growing season than indica or hybrid varieties if you are growing these plants indoors without using height control techniques. Durban Poison is highly stretched, often doubling or tripling in size during flowering.
A veg stage of 3-4 weeks should be sufficient to produce good sized plants. When growing with only a few plants per m2, it is recommended to use the SCROG technique. When growing it outdoors, make sure there is enough space available, as this plant can take over your garden plot!
During early growth, plants can display more indica-style leaves. A more sativa style image and leaf appearance is seen during flowering. Indoor gardeners will notice a transition once the light cycle shifts to 12/12. As the days grow shorter outside, the sativa-dominant heritage becomes more apparent and its true colors emerge.
The stems are tough and durable. They can be easily manipulated without the risk of breaking. Leaf tying is recommended during early flowering. Flowering time is about 8-9 weeks. With the recommended vegetative phase, it will take about 11-13 weeks from seed to harvest.
DURBAN POISON produces an XXL crop of old school quality cannabis; From 450 to 650 grams of product can be obtained per m2. The plant bears heavy, resinous and dense buds.
