Strain Description:
 
Durban is a pure Sativa landrace strain originating from South Africa, known for its potent cerebral high, uplifting effects, and sweet, complex flavour profile. Developed from the legendary Durban Poison, this 100% Sativa strain delivers a powerful, energetic high that enhances creativity, mental clarity, and sociability, making it perfect for daytime use and artistic inspiration.
 
The plants exhibit a tall, slender structure typical of Sativa varieties, with a substantial main stem flanked by strong lateral branches. The dense flower clusters form along the branches and main stem, producing chunky, resin-rich buds with short pistils that often start pink or yellow before darkening as they mature. The flowering period is relatively short for a Sativa, lasting between 50 to 70 days, ensuring rapid harvest cycles and high productivity.
 
Durban is known for its high yield potential, producing abundant buds coated in a thick layer of trichomes. The plants are naturally resilient and adaptable, thriving in outdoor environments with at least 8 to 12 hours of sunlight daily. They are highly resistant to pests, mould, and environmental stressors, making them ideal for novice growers and outdoor cultivation in subtropical and Mediterranean climates.
 
The effects are potent and long-lasting, delivering an uplifting cerebral high that enhances creativity, mental clarity, and sociability. This energetic buzz gradually transitions into a calming, relaxing state, making it perfect for stress relief, anxiety, and enhancing focus. The high is exceptionally smooth and balanced, making it suitable for both recreational and medicinal use.
 
The aroma is sweet and citrusy with top notes of aniseed, complemented by earthy, warm coffee and sandalwood undertones. The flavour is equally complex, offering a sweet citrus taste with subtle aniseed and earthy notes on the exhale. The rich, aromatic combination creates a smooth and satisfying sensory experience.
 
Growing Information:
 
Durban is incredibly easy to grow, making it suitable for both novice and experienced cultivators. Its robust genetics ensure vigorous growth and high resilience, allowing it to thrive in most environments, including indoor, outdoor, and greenhouse setups.
 
The plants exhibit a tall, slender structure typical of Sativa varieties, with a substantial main stem and strong lateral branches. They grow steadily and can reach towering heights of up to 3 metres outdoors, especially when started indoors in early spring and moved outside after the last frost.
 
Despite its tall stature, the height can be easily managed with advanced cultivation techniques such as Screen of Green (SCROG), Sea of Green (SOG), supercropping, and lollipopping. These methods enhance light exposure and airflow, maximising yield and resin production.
 
Durban thrives in sunny, subtropical, and Mediterranean climates but is highly adaptable and performs well in cooler environments. It is naturally resistant to pests, mould, and environmental stressors, ensuring healthy growth with minimal effort. It performs well in most growing mediums, including soil, coco coir, and hydroponic systems.
 
During flowering, the plants emit a sweet, citrusy scent with earthy and warm undertones, making them relatively discreet for outdoor cultivation. Proper ventilation and odour control are recommended during the late flowering stage to manage the potent aroma.
 
The short flowering period of 50-70 days allows for rapid harvest cycles, making it ideal for commercial growers. The dense, resin-rich buds form along the branches and main stem, ensuring high yields with minimal maintenance.
 
Strain Flavour and Aromas:
 
Durban delivers a rich and complex flavour and aroma profile, reflecting its landrace heritage. The aroma is sweet and citrusy with top notes of aniseed, complemented by earthy, warm coffee and sandalwood undertones.

The flavour is equally complex and satisfying, offering a sweet citrus taste with aniseed and earthy notes on the exhale. Subtle hints of chocolate and sandalwood enhance the overall complexity, creating a smooth and aromatic smoking experience.
 
The terpene profile is rich in Limonene, contributing to the citrusy brightness and uplifting effects, while Myrcene adds a calming, relaxing base. Caryophyllene provides the spicy, earthy notes, enhancing the overall complexity of the flavour.
