This is from dutch passion !
sadly, around 2000 sensi seeds fuqed up their durban as well as the jamaican pearl, used to be mucho nice smoke, uppedy goodness...
dutch passions version most of the times, produced rather stoney plants???
would love to try that power africa thing, but if memory serves me right, it's a femmed line of their former malawi offering -> no durban init...

Thanks Mr.Poison! Let us know how she smoked, and when she finished. DP Durban Poison is a breeders strain, It's too different for it to be an Indy cross. Very unique and traits to match.
Thx für the Reputation guys il gave you more info about the Strain:
The high:
Its a nice sativa high a real day time smoke take a bowl and you can go shopping or to a party
The feeling is uplifting like thai canabis a little bit Psychedelic when you got the right phäno !
Taste is fresh fruity some phäno has a zitrus taste also the smell is the same.
From dutch passion I found 3 phäno
1.sativa phäno smells like zitrus need 9 weeks to finish good stretch
2.indica phäno smells like rotten fruits need 8-9 weeks normal strech grow more bushie fat leaves dark green this the keeper for indoor and outdoor got the strongest high and yields !
3.Purple phäno smells fruity sometimes like Vanilla grow tall strong strech need 9-10 weeks.

looks good! the DP durban I have, are heavily inbred and have been circa 2000, They grow like indicas in veg and when flowering hits they stretch like a beast until all tops are nearly the same height, and have a super pungent fresh "funk" unlike any other plant.
Yours seem similar but I have no idea if the lines have been changed since then, but look very good non the less.

clone from my durban mom that i picked up in sd county last year
I havent flowered it out yet, going to flower this same one in a bit..
hopein' some of you guys can help me figure out if its legit (after i flower it ofcourse).
I grew Dutch Passions Durban Poison a few years ago. I didn't like the high because I picked too early probably. Was a sturdy plant
Your source? I know sensi durban is a hybrid.
Beautiful pictures although most are clearly hybrids or have some skunk on them (like Sensi's, Dutch Passion, Nirvana...), which doesn't have to be necessarily bad. Pure Durban Poinsons are quite elusive nowadays but you can recognise a true african strain with a single peep.
I would love to see some of those original Durbans from African Seeds or Afropips seedbank, those could be actually unhybridised.
Vibes to all the dagga lovers!

My source are my eyes and my ears lol, despite DP claims to have kept it pure we can clearly see the indi dom skunk influence in yield, time of flowering ( they said their Durban flower in 8 week ), buds/leafs shapes of some phenos more than others, but even the most Sativa leaning of them shows clearly hybrid influence.
Look at Mr Poison Durban last page, he get a skunk Dom pheno with overiped fruit odor...
Excuse my English please
Peace
Agree on all points.
Hope the African strains aren't being bastardized by indicas like Jamaican, Colombian and probably Mexicans. I haven't had authentic Colombian for decades. I have read posts that suggest there are still great Colombians being grown but that it remains local and not widely exported these days.
I imagine you could find some really good African(w/seeds) in Africa. Would be a great trip if one could stay safe.
I would agree, MR.poisons plants seem too varying to be an IBL of DP. However The DP IBL I have have been bred for least 10 years. Although I cannot speak for the original phenos I would say that mine do differ a lot from MR.poisons. I am assuming an outcross was performed within DutcH Passion at somepoint.
The theory of Indian lines breeding with Durban lines in Durban seem most obvious for DP. As it is unlike any other plant, and the breeders who have bred the line I have, call it the missing link over the nepalese which we have experience with and has been referred to as the missing link between indica/sat. I would not call Indica or Sativa as it seems to carry oddly blended traits from each side of the spectrum, nor would I call it a durban sativa.
This has been my experience so far.

Pure Durban can still be had in unadulterated pure form although unselected and maybe wild. I would love to see more grows of Durban Magic by Seeds of Africa. There are a few vendors selling this label..

Original durban has nothing to do with the Dutch product ... the selections have kept guidance more indica than sativa. In 1981 when I smoked durban require 11 to 12 weeks for product SATIVA 100%! Nothing indica even after 12 weeks. High different from today ... now flowering is 9 weeks? what's wrong ... the stature of the plant is different today. my sheets too. much larger original ezt were very thin and long leaves. 100% sativa. I'm not even in the original retouve sensi seeds or DP ... ect. Not a single breeder (lot about original but with 9 weeks this is not original ... original sativa was 12 weeks and the different effect! The only grass like 70 or 80 years late to be friends soldier who brought grass south africa directly or shipment. No Dutch breeder .......it is identical with or Colombian speak baucoup original 9 weeks while true original be 12 or even 14 weeks! ect, ect ... the selection was made on the Dutch genes indica or cut with skunk ... for speed and profitability. a Dutch Durban is nice but it is not original durban sativa.
Respect has all !

No it is not a durban sativa IMO
Super Sativa Seed Club, Circa 1987 - Durban

Pinetown Durban Sativa. Known also as Durban Poison. A great high. One of the earlyest maturing original sativa's. Very suitable for making hybrid crosses. In Holland it flowers the last week of September. We are busy developing new original Durban Sativa's.
"One of these strains is "Durban" or "Durban Poison" from South Africa. A lot of old timers will tell you stories about the first Durban seeds they got their hands on in the late 70's or early 80's. It was a strain well known for finishing early, which made it valuable for breeding with late strains that wouldn't finish outdoors. Also, oddly enough, it was a pure sativa and not an indica as many have thought." - Durban Vs Durban Cannabis Culture
These articles has always led me to believe that Durban Poison was something different from durban sativas? Also are Durban sativas fast flowering like the above mentioned? Never grew em.

^^ yes. i've started running several strains from soa. their malawi gold is incredible when i found a good vigorous female. their zamal is awesome but again you have to pheno hunt. i ran 24 soa durbans and found just one keeper. lots of phenos but only one impressed me enough to keep her (durban #3).
i'm looking for a good soa durban male for my keeper durban #3 and will run a few durban #3 clones outdoors 2014.
soa has the real deal in my opinion. these are hand collected from the field; unworked imo.
africa is polluted with adam genetics but keepers are there. i am very impressed with soa genetics but imo you got to put some work into it just like the guys did with real seed company's mazar i shariff.
Idiit they seem legit, their pictures look nice and their descriptions very accurate.
Seeds of Africa
Durban Magic is an indigenous strain found all over Durbans countryside. Its strongs fruity flavor is represented by its various shades of green,orange and purple resinous buds. A long lasting, uplifting high with a strong sense of clarity. The tight, dense buds almost give an indica-type impression, with a wholesome thai flavour. The long and slender genetics of the plant makes it a great strain for cross pollination.
Real seed company is 100% legit as well.
