No legit durban available at the moment... maybe some private breeders have them but I haven't seen any seedbank offering them, besides Sensi, Dutch Passion and others who sell shitty durban x skunk hybrids. The Real Seed Co offers some true Durban hybrids with African genetics and a real long flowering Durban landrace, preserved by African Herbman. If you look for real durban genetics, I guess you should forget about the rest and try different african genetics.

I was very pleased with feminized Dutch Passion when I grew it last year.
I bred the Durban Poison in the early 1970's in Cali and it was early from the get. it came from the 30th latitude and I did the work at the 37th. It was also small plants and hermi but I worked on it for a few years got rid of the hermis, and selected for big bracts, and spicy taste and high, as well as earliness, and cleaned it up. No Hybridization, No acclimatization, just hard work killing all the rejects and keeping only the best for the goal. I did have a lot to select from!
BTW it is pure from S Africa, never hybidized, if you refer to my S.African Durban Poison, which has been around for many others to copy and/or hybridize from the mid 70's, until recently when other S African seeds suppliers have also sold seeds from S Africa or with S African genes in it. My S African Durban Poison is early enough that it can be grown outdoors in the ground in Holland 53rd latitude if the winter is a bit late and moderate, maybe 30-50% of the years. BTW I have also grown many pure Durban seeds from S Africa that were not early like mine.

thanks and sorry, at the same time, I thought you were just being difficult but I see your point!Ah, sorry.
My comment was in reply to the Durban x skunk crosses being called "shitty", when infact the ones I grew were better than all the pure durbans i've grown combined.
It was from seedsman.i think he calls it 'early Durban' if I remember correctly.
But please note- that was back in 2007-ish. Not sure if they are the same as they were then. When I first tried (real)GSC earlier this year, the taste was exactly what those d x s tasted like(with OG funk mixed in of course). It's a very specific taste that's unlike anything else.
