How to grow Durban
Seb's take
A South African landrace under Sensi's stewardship, named plainly for the city and none the worse for it. Sweet and aniseed on the nose, with a spicy, earthy undercurrent; the high climbs rather than settles — energising, creative, built for conversation. Honest about what it is.
Growing Durban: what to expect
Feminized photoperiod seed: every plant a female, and flowering starts when you change the lights — which puts the calendar in your hands. The photoperiod lesson covers using that control well.
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.
She wants to be a tree — 250 cm and climbing if you let her. Give her the headroom or teach her manners early: training techniques are not optional here.
Breeder figures put THC around 18% — firmly in the strong band. The number speaks for itself; we'll not add adjectives to it.
The nose runs sweet — dessert-adjacent, without apology.
Creative leads the effect chart — one for the sketchbook rather than the sofa.
