Isn't it true that at this point, most "Durban Poison" is just various combinations of the different strains that float around the area of Durban? By that I mean, it is now nearly impossible to get what was originally bred by that name, pure and stable?

I think the problem is more genetic pollution from hybrid strains from Amsterdam that were introduced to the area over the last 15 years. You can't stop rogue pollen!

I would love to get real Durban. I just ran Dutch Passions Durban , regular and feminized lines. End product was weak in all respects. I probably wont even keep a single mum around out of 2 packs of seeds. Only 1 plant tastes descent and the buzz of all are weak. I'm sure Dutch Passion mixed some Indica in there somewhere(Masterkush?their weak version?). The smoke hardly seems Sativa like, but there are some unique tastes in there(probably from the real Durban coming through?). All in all, I would look past Dutch Passion for this one. Good luck finding the real one,and keep us posted if you do find it. I am sure many people would love to have a legit Durban Poison from seed.

think its not known to be exceptionally terpy, clame to fame is its earlynes. not exceptional potency.

thats how Durban poison came to be... From the different landvariety strains melding together , over centuries
That's why you can taste feel smell the Durban in most of the "wild" cannabis in South Africa
Some more some less
And extremely few dead ringers, that will only be kept pure if preserved

The hybrids and other landraces have been mingling here with the local cannabis for way longer then 15 years ....
South Africa is a major trading port not to mention the Dutch have lived here hundreds of years so when Netherlands started that indoor in the 80's
For sure there were Dutch in South Africa organising Seed for S.A

Then with all the harsh laws here it was much easier giving the seeds to a poor black farmer who already had been farming the landrace here at extremely massive risks
When farmer had it ready they would just go pick it up
Very few white people actually grew there own ...

As for the claim to fame ... That's all to do with the happy energising rushy high that's very long lasting with no ceiling
The Dutch passion should just be called poison.... Its nothing like real Durban

When Mel Frank's DP came out ( the one that put the name to fame) it was a rather stocky sativa with spear shaped buds reeking of fennel/aniseed. First releases of Dutch Passion's DP where hybridized with skunk and reworked towards early ripening but did pop regularly the DP pheno which gave a good energetic high, then it turned out they did their repro using the earliest and most productive plants and quickly enough their DP was just a washed out version of skunk with more and more absolutely dull phenos.
Keep an eye on this thread https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=307700
The OP has reproduced Afropips line and did recently a (soldout) release. I'm currently testing some and the green pheno so far is the best representation of the plant that gained DP's popularity I've seen in nearly 20 years

One of the growers say this:

Nice yield, not huge, good for indoor grow tents. I used two 1000w HPS with soil and organic nutrients. I'm very happy with the results. I highly recommend these seeds for any medical needs or social use.


I will self give them a try in future. They are cheap , and recommended.

This is maybe very good
Durban Poison IBL . Breeder Plantamaster Seeds
Durban Poison - is imported into the South African landreys Amsterdam. By continuously monitoring and pollination between plants is the most outstanding of the class we raised THC content of 15 - 18%, without losing the quality of the exposure.

Durban Poison not only perfect for creating your own grades based on SATIVA, but is especially valuable for commercial growing variety of marijuana. Usually it is used for crossbreeding with pozdnetsvetuschimi varieties in order to obtain high-quality early-flowering hybrids. Good results when growing indoors, about 75 grams per plant.

Vintage impressive. Smoke aniseed refreshing and gives strength, which makes Durban Poison suitable for daytime use social grade. An excellent choice for a party or a trip to the club. In addition, allow to cope with anxiety and depression, ensure accuracy and clarity of thought.

Despite the fact that Durban Poison cort for daytime use, be careful.

4 size and yeld, indoor and outdoor

1. 12-16 weeks
2. Energetic high, introspective, slightly trippy. No body effect.
3. Lemon, Anise, Licorice are the most common good terpene combinations.
4. The plants bush out laterally and don't seem to keep a dominant main stem growing upwards. If left without topping, the plant will naturally grow many main colas. The internodes are very long as is traditional for sativa. The leaf blades are medium thickness on most pheno but some thin pin leaflet pheno can also be found.

This is my info about the Durban landrace from the areas by Durban collected from seeds inside plants or bag seed in some cases.

I agree with oldbootz,

The 'durban' I have takes 14 to 16 weeks to finish flower. If it finishes quicker then it is NOT durban. It is a hybrid.

Sorry, seed sellers.

The Durban which was sold in the early 90s was 8-9 weeks.Sam bred for its earliness after he received the wrong batch from Mel Frank what i read.

My question to Mel Frank

Are there any purple phenotypes to be found in the Durban you have?

His answer.

only turn purple in cold, but some have red stigmas naturally

The reason i asked him this that the Durban from Dutch Passion seems to have a purple pheno nowadays.

I have never seen any plant that looks like this. I'd love to learn more about those mutant plants. If you're still on here I'd love to connect.

Nobody is offering real Durban seeds at the moment that I know of. Ya wouldn't want it pure anyhow, unless ya enjoy panic attacks lol. Tropical seeds has F1's of some legit Durban and purple paki. Should be some nice smoke, n nice plants. I'd imagine some reddish purple anise smelling buds done in 10 weeks. Sounds good to me.

just put some gsc at the front or the back if you have panic attack issues. i thought all they sold it as was seeds. so like they are real ?
