Seb's take
One of the few true landraces left unmuddled by decades of crossing, now autoflowered without losing the plot. Earthy pine and citrus on the nose; the high is uplifting, energetic, and creative — no middle-of-the-road genetics here, whatever the catalogue next to it might claim.
Where it comes from
One of the few genuine landraces to survive decades of hybridisation without being muddled into anonymity, Durban Poison keeps its South African sativa legacy intact in this autoflowering version from Herbies Seeds. The record names the landrace alone as parent, and that lineage is the whole story — no elaborate cross, just a storied original given autoflower convenience. For anyone weary of middle-of-the-road genetics, the pedigree here is refreshingly unmuddled.
Nose & flavour
Earthy and piney at the core, with sweetness and a woody note filling in behind, and a bright thread of citrus lifting the whole. A layered sativa nose that rewards attention — greener than a modern hybrid, and more characterful for it.
The high
Uplifting and energetic, the sort that gets ideas moving. Happy and euphoric throughout, with a creative streak that suits an occupied afternoon rather than an idle one. No middle-of-the-road character to speak of — the effect arrives with the confidence of a landrace that knows exactly what it is.
Growing it
An autoflower that takes her time, flowering across roughly 70 to 77 days — slow for the format, but the landrace heritage is worth the patience. She stays fairly compact at 80 to 100cm, easily managed indoors or out, and returns around 336 g/m². THC is listed at 24 per cent. A plant that asks little beyond time and rewards you with something increasingly rare in a catalogue.
