How to grow Auto Durban Poison
Taste
Seb's take
The legendary South African landrace, autoflowered without losing the terpene profile that made her famous. Earthy pine and sweet woody citrus on the nose; the high is uplifted, energetic and creative, long-lasting enough that the Durban name still carries its full weight.
Where it comes from
An autoflowering rendering of the legendary South African landrace, and one that keeps the terpene profile that made the original famous. Dutch Passion took Durban Poison genetics — a strain known for high total cannabinoid content and a long-lasting, characterful high — and brought them to the automatic habit without sacrificing the essentials. The landrace character survives the translation; the Durban name still carries its full weight.
Nose & flavour
Earthy and piney at the base, with a sweetness through the middle and woody, citrus notes rounding it out — the distinctive landrace profile intact. A rich, layered nose, unmistakably Durban in character: grounded, fresh and faintly sweet all at once. The terpenes are the whole point of preserving this line, and they come through in full.
The high
Uplifted, energetic and creative, with a cheerful, euphoric thread running through — the classic Durban experience, cerebral and long-lasting. A bright, active effect far more at home in the day than the evening. The kind of high that keeps you moving and thinking rather than settling you down; enduring enough to justify the landrace's long reputation.
Growing it
She usually holds to eighty or a hundred centimetres, yielding around 75 to 100 grams a plant — though with more root space and a sunny, warm, less humid spot she can stretch taller and exceed 100 grams apiece. Flowering runs seventy to seventy-seven days, roughly ten to eleven weeks from germination, with yields of 400 to 500g per square metre. She grows fast and bushy on strong, medium branches well able to carry heavy clusters of resinous bud, which tend to form a week or two later than most autoflowers. Patience at the end pays.
