DURBAN POISON AUTO 3X

Durban Poison Auto – Blimburn Seeds Bank

Once you combine the genetics of the famed Durban Poison with ruderalis, you get the autoflowering hybrid known as Durban Poison Auto 3X, which leans toward sativa. The strain gathered its acceptability from South African Landrace genetics (Landrace strains are cannabis variants that have evolved in a particular geographical area of the world. Such strains belong naturally to such areas, and over generations they have adapted to their local environment, which is what defines their unique genetic profiles and characteristics). It was crossed with ruderalis to give it the autoflowering trait, with Durban Poison’s plant stimulating effects and flavor further enhanced. Staying true to its roots with a THC potency of between 21% to 25%, this strain is bound to thrill and excite.

Effect and Taste

The effect of this auto-flowering strain is lifting and euphoric. The sativa dominance really works to provide energy and mental stimulation, making this variety great for creative endeavors and social gathering. DURBAN POISON Auto provides focused cerebral stimulation. It acts as an enhancement for the focus and boost for creativity. Its very euphoric and uplifting feeling makes the strain more appropriate for daytime use. As if additional energy is not enough, this strain also glides in some body relaxation. The indica influence of the plant ensures no heaviness or couch lock. Because of its uplifting and stimulating properties, the strain is also popular among patients seeking relief from symptoms of ADHD, depression, and chronic fatigue.

Flavors are a result of an even stronger terpenes characteristic of the strain, with dominant earthy pine flavors combined with hints of citrus and sweetness. When smoked, the inhale goes smooth and rich, with a slight spice accent providing depth to the flavor profile. The exhale reveals the flavor of pine and citrus more prominently while finishing with a refreshing aftertaste. Enriched with an amber profile and having a full round flavor ensures harmony for both sides: the side of the user and the side of therapy.

Growing Durban Poison Auto 3X

The ruderalis genetics allow the plant to thrive in all possible indoor and outdoor growing conditions. To get ideal conditions for growth, ensure that the temperature and humidity are constant. The temperature should be kept indoors at 20-27 degree Celsius. Outdoors grow this plant by keeping in mind that it is very preferable in warm and sunny areas. At the vegetative phase, the humidity should stay constant between 55 and 60%, whereas at flowering initiation, it drops to around 40%. Humidity drops to about 30% after the final weeks, in order to avoid bud-rot and to produce high quantity of trichomes. This will lead towards the aromic products as well as better potency for plant.

Remember that autoflowers do not depend on a light schedule to trigger flowering but a long photoperiod will help maximize more buds. High-quality lighting is also important, use grow lights. This will promote a healthy environment for growing plants by providing a balanced spectrum that the plant will be able to use.

Nutrient and Feeding

This strain is moderately nutrient-sensitive, so do not indulge in heavy feeding but good with balanced feeding. Vegetative nitrogen feeding promotes further leaf and plant structure. As the flowering phase progresses, switch to phosphorus and potassium which promote the plumping up of the bud with growth. Add organic nutrients to improve the natural terpene profile for better flavor and aroma from your plant. Flushing it before the last two weeks will empty any remaining salts and nutrients from the plant, making the smoke smooth and tasteful. Autoflowering strains lack sufficient time and therefore the feeding state must synchronize with the quick growth due to the short life cycle.

Methods of training and pest control

Low Stress Training (LST) training technique works wonders on Durban Poison Auto 3X. It helps improve airflow and penetration of light into the lower branches. The tight and bushy structure of autoflowers will benefit with the extra space where branches can now spread out, allowing for better bud development. Avoid methods of training that involve High Stress such as topping because the time is too limited to allow recovery from the shortened vegetative stage. Neem oil will control other pest organisms like aphids and spider mites.

Harvesting

Durban Poison Auto flowers for about 8-9 weeks, so if grown outdoor it’s best to plant them in early spring for a mid-summer harvest, allowing two harvests per season. Under best outdoor conditions, each plant can yield about 120 grams; indoors, the general yield is about 250-300 g/m².

Durban Poison Auto, when harvested, will have crystals glistening with frost-resistant trichomes on the buds. These buds are dense and sticky-ideal for producing high-quality concentrates. Proper drying and curing are done with the use of a plant dryer to preserve the strain’s terpenes and THC. The buds are dried in a dark room with fluctuations not exceeding 45-55% relative humidity for one week. Afterward, transfer to glass jars during which the jars are opened daily for at least the first week to avoid mold and the build-up of excess moisture.
