New Landrace Addition For...

Khalifa Genetics: 80's Durban Poison.

 

[Douglas.Curtis]

I remember a 70's seed catalog showing pure Durban poison for sale (crossed with Skunk #1 IIRC). Never figured out how they could bill it as pure. Lol

What's the lineage of this one?

Al lists the strain as having come from about 29 degrees South, Durban, SA. Unfortunately, they're not currently available for direct shipment to the US. I don't totally get that, but there are workarounds for the crafty, I'm sure.

I would love to have tried that Durban/Skunk hybrid! And I'm not even all that much of a Sativa user.

Looks like he's also working on acquiring some new additions from Pakistan. I'm very interested in what he's able to get out of there. Especially at the north-eastern most provinces.

I don't know that there is a true/pure Durban outside of some private collections. I would recommend going to Ace Seeds and looking through theirs and their vendors products. They are the most vetted and scrutinized in the industry.

I emailed Khalifa a while back. They have a hub in the U.S. and they do deliver within the states. I know they must be great breeders because Dubi wouldnt deal with just anyone. I just wish people would post more grow reports on their gear. I plan on ordering some hashplants myself at some point

Thanks for your input!

I have a few strains via Ace, too. All of them very good. I don't know about a pure modern Durban either. But, it's possible he got his hands on an original 80's and continued it on his own. I'm not sure how he acquired them. I have one plant from Khalifa, a Sheberghan. It's one of two I have from that region. It's a fine hash plant.

This is why I'm a little confused about the Durbans. But, there must be a good reason. A hop and a skip removed would get them to me if I wanted them, but I'm not in the market right now for a Durban. Hell of a strain, tho.

Ive only smoked the dutch passion version. It was okay at best. Im sure this ones much better

 

[Cerathule]

Why they are doing it? Crossing Skunk into all those once-upon-a-time landrace genetics? To gain that awful sulfury terp profile? I'd rather stick to fruit or spice flavours.
Oftentimes what these popular seedbanks offer is just polyhybridized that bears no resemblance to the original. May as well just order some white labelled seeds.

The sheberghan and balkh hashplants are what i plan to order. So im glad you're having luck with it. Im not a very big indica fan but they're beautiful plants to grow and i hear pure landrace indicas are a much more enjoyable high than the stupefying effects of todays hybrids

A lot of Landraces have a balanced Cannabinoid profile unlike modern day hybrids selected for mostly high THC levels.

That makes total sense to me. I cant stand the effects of most of todays hydrids and its probably from insane levels of thc. To each their own ofcourse. I just know feeling lethargic and tired is the last thing i want when i catch a buzz

I can only attest to the Sheberghan from Khalifa, but I have a Balkh hashplant I acquired in a trade that's even more suited to my personal tastes. I'm a heavy Indica fan. It's kind of good to know, too, that with many of the landrace Indicas you'll be able to still enjoy a more Sativa-like stone by cutting your harvest time down a notch. If you harvest when heads have just turned completely cloudy with no amber in sight, you'll get a much more Sativa-like experience.

I couldn't agree with you more on your comment about the hybrids of today. Man, we're taking it to a big time extreme. All for the sake of the BIG EM IN CANNABIS ---> Marketing.

Im sure they'll keep raising the thc levels until it looks like rock candy

I have one from Tropical seeds. They call it 'Durban Poison 70s.' It is definitely a pure sativa. Pretty light yield for the size of the plant. Smoke is very nice, but not super potent. Pleasant and not so lethargic. Taste is herbal, mentholyotus, and cedar/pine. Finished in October here in the bay area. Nice to have a landrace sativa that finished on time in my region.

Cannabiogen carries a version too. That might be pretty good

Ive read about folks doing that. i mostly grow pure sativas and harvesting them early is a nightmare. Terrible high and the bud quality suffers greatly. I ended up throwing a few ounces away when i tried it with a honduras landrace

AkBeanBrains has the Original Durban from the 80s Super Sativa Seed Club stock. It takes 80+ days to finish, and has no skunk in it.

Email Dave for a complete list of his gear. Hes also generous with freebies, and if you ask for more Durban seeds as freebies chances are he will give them to you. Theyre $100 a pack. Plus Shipping. Hes got way more to offer than what most of the seed banks have. Hes also got the original early 90s NL5 x Haze. NL1, NL5, Black Domina, and many more. He also has hybrids of clone only strains. Tk x NL5 x Haze is also killer.

I do enjoy a Sativa every once in a while. I've never harvested them early because I'm naturally ramped up all the time as it is. So, I tend to let my Sativas almost (and sometimes entirely) die in the pot.

Now I'm very curious about a Honduras landrace!

Thanks for this info.

If you see Brian Eno, smack him on the back of the head for me. Thanks.
