Our take

Durban Poison is a 100% sativa landrace straight from South Africa, preserved and stabilized by breeders David Paul Watson and Ed Rosenthal. With 20% THC and a terpene profile rich in terpinolene, myrcene, and ocimene, it delivers a bright, focused experience and a layered scent of citrus, pine, and sweet spice. These feminized seeds are rated beginner-friendly, making them a solid first sativa for new growers.

Yields up to 510 g/m² indoors from a pure sativa with no hybrid complexity
Finishes flowering in about 63 days indoors, or outdoors by late September
Feminized photoperiod seeds mean no sexing plants — near-guaranteed female crop

Growing notes

Durban Poison performs well indoors and outdoors in sunny, continental, or Mediterranean climates. Expect tall plants, so indoor growers should plan for canopy management like low-stress training or topping early. Flowering wraps up in roughly nine weeks indoors. Outdoor crops are ready by late September. Buds come in at medium size and density. A forgiving strain rated for beginners.
