How to grow Durban Poison
Seb's take
Durban Poison crossed with Ruderalis, keeping four-fifths of her Sativa character and shedding the wait. Pine and earth on the nose; the high is clear-headed and daytime-suited, euphoric with a happy tingle that keeps things moving. Give her the headroom — she still reaches 150cm.
Growing Durban Poison: what to expect
An autoflower: she flowers on age, not on light hours, which removes the single biggest way to get the schedule wrong. The auto versus photoperiod lesson explains what that changes — which is nearly everything.
Flowering runs the standard 9 weeks — no surprises, which in this business is a compliment. The flowering stage guide covers what each of those weeks should look like.
A middling 150 cm or so at maturity — tall enough to yield, short enough to manage. Standard tent territory; the light planner sorts the hanging height.
The yield is modest — honest about what it is. What she lacks in volume she asks for in fewer demands; the harvest guide applies at any scale.
THC of 25% by the breeder's numbers — the top shelf of the scale. Approach as you would a staircase in the dark.
She smells of earth and heritage; nothing invented, nothing added.
Grower reports give her a relaxed lean: unhurried company for an unhurried evening.
