Cheers wasn't sure
Bootz grew out your strain then Far out? I grew some Dave Coullier's DP and got some intense highs from it. Not sure how pure as it matured really fast.
^^ No, the plants were so tiny I did not want to do pics. I have one revegging though. Nice high somewhere in the C99 spectrum I would say. Racy but not noidy. Of course anything can get to you if you take enough and are in the wrong state of mind.
Thanks for making these available.
^^^ Kill that grasshopper before it does damage.
I had lots of them this Summer and hate them.
They are tough pests, exterminate with extreme prejudice.
There are so many threads across multiple forums regarding Durban poison, and none of them seem to tell the full story.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm starting to get the impression that DP's hybridized and subsequent back crossed version is partially responsible for setting off this whole Durban craze? That would make sense because flowering a 12-16 week sativa is harder to finish than a 10-12 week version. In other words, most people probably have the hybrid version and call it the real deal durban poison. Maybe that is the durban poison everyone is referring to these days? I've also been reading about how everyone is chasing this "anise" pheno, which comes from DP's hybrid version.
While I know Durban Poison was popular decades ago, it recently became a lot more hyped out due to girl scout cookies having it in its pedigree. You even hear about desirable "durban" phenos of GSC, which I thought was GSCxDP, but turns out it's a S1 or S2 sativa leaning pheno of GSC.
CBG's website states their Durban line is from 4 generations of selective breeding, and it reportedly hasn't been crossed with anything (ie. is pure, 100% sativa from Durban, South Africa). I've read somewhere on the forums that this line was acquired from some source in Durban, South Africa, but not all strains originating from Durban, SA are durban poison. It is interesting that they would call this line durban and not durban poison.
In any case, there's one phenotype with purple-red stems, and every last plant has a crazy loud smell when doing a stem rub! The color form individual produced its very first resinous bract, and the smell spot on reminds me of the real deal Indiana Bubblegum! It's unmistakable! African sativas are reportedly racy, and I remember Indiana bubblegum being crazy strong but uncomfortably paranoid-inducing. I hope this durban is a soaring, comfortable, strong sativa, not a racy, crazy-eyed version....
Below is CBG's limited edition Durban, I think beans were acquired in 2017. Crickets best describe the reports on this strain: I haven't seen a complete grow and smoke report on it yet. Anyone have a link? Is it the real deal strain of Durban Poison, or some random african sativa originating from Durban, SA? I don't know, since it's hard to ID a verified, authentic source for the true, real deal Durban poison. They started pre-flowering here in the PNW around the second week of September, so they won't likely finish until late November if I had to guess.
Here's the purple stem pheno that has a bubblegum aroma to it, I really hope the buds on this one color up as well:

And I mean PURPLE stems...dark purple!

A different plant, no purple coloration so far. Stem rub is really strong and loud, but no resinous leaves to tell what the buds will smell like just yet:
