Durban Poison S1 finishes in 8-10 weeks and thrives in indoor, outdoor, or greenhouse setups. Excellent vigor means strong, healthy growth from seed, with moderate stretch and a balanced structure that supports productive branches. High yield makes this beginner-friendly, forgiving minor mistakes while delivering frosty, resinous colas.
This is part of the Multiverse Beans Preservation Line. Most packs will show 2-3 phenotypes that all finish within about one week of each other. That timing is a dealbreaker for big commercial rooms on strict schedules, but totally manageable – and more fun – for homegrowers who enjoy hunting their favorite expression. We’re preserving and releasing these now so homegrowers can still access these genetics before upcoming seed law changes.
What does Durban Poison taste like?
Durban Poison is a Sativa dominant strain with a unique, appealing aroma. It is known for its spicy, hazy taste with hints of aniseed, liquorice, lemon and cloves. This complex aroma is one of the reasons why Durban Poison has such a large following of repeat growers.
Durban Poison Buds
The buds of Durban Poison are very dense for a Sativa. Growers can expect vigorous plants with numerous side branches. Most phenotypes have the tendency to stretch greatly, so be aware if height restrictions in your grow room could be a potential issue.
Durban Poison is a classic variety suitable for all conditions
Durban Poison is a classic indoor and outdoor variety, tough enough for outdoor cannabis growing even in extreme Northern/Southern latitudes. Durban Poison seeds come originally from South Africa and were inbred over many years during the 70’s. With each following generation, Durban Poison became increasingly adapted to the windy and rainy conditions of Northern Europe. Outdoor she has the potential to become really big. Heights above 3m are not unusual. Indoors she will stretch a great deal, so some form of height management is advised.
Durban Poison strain info: The perfect all-rounder!
Durban Poison is a pure landrace Sativa dominant variety which originates from South Africa.
The plants may initially show wide Indica-style leaves. But during the latter part of the flowering period the growth pattern allows the Sativa dominance to show long flowers pierced by slim Sativa-style leaves.
Durban Poison has become a corner stone strain in today’s cannabis market. This Sativa dominant variety originates from the South African city of Durban and stood at the base of the famous GSC (Girl Scout Cookies) heritage/line, where strains such as Sherbet and Gelato were derived.
Durban Poison is ready to harvest after around 8-9 weeks of 12/12 indoor bloom. Outdoors she can reach maximum heights of 3-4m and is harvested around early/middle Autumn.
The genetics used to create Durban Poison ensure the following characteristics:
Durban Poison is an old-school Dutch Passion classic. Available in both regular and feminized seeds.
Durban Poison Autoflower combines the legendary African landrace Durban Poison with hardy Ruderalis genetics, creating a fast-flowering, Sativa-dominant hybrid with a powerful, uplifting effect.
Expect an immediate rush of euphoria and mental clarity, making it a go-to daytime strain for creativity, focus, and motivation.
While primarily Sativa in nature, a touch of Indica influence adds subtle body relaxation without sedation, keeping the experience smooth and balanced.
If you’re looking for a stimulating strain that won’t weigh you down, this autoflower delivers.
Durban Poison Auto’s terpene-rich profile provides a fresh, earthy aroma with hints of pine, citrus, and spice.

Durban Poison generally has a full sativa effect; characterized by energetic, uplifting and euphoric effects paired phenomenally with busy days or enjoying the outdoors.
Durban Poison will flower in only 8-9 weeks and bless the grower with a heavily resinous harvest, beloved by makers of concentrates of all sorts.
Fortunately, we kept seed from a minty phenotype of our Mint Jelly Auto, which happens to hold a autoflower world record for potency, was a great place to start the transition of the Durban Poison into an auto.
As expected, the Durban Poison isn’t our quickest auto, taking up to 100 days from sprout to harvest, but the reward in yield, cannabinoid content and terpenes make up for the extra couple weeks.
These dense light green, incredibly frosty flowers also happen to be one of our best strains for hash production.

Old school crossed to old school for a chance to hunt out some blast from the past strains to bring a stoner back!
12 weeks of flower time on the mom.
Durban Dew is a fusion of two legendary strains designed to withstand unpredictable climates.
Durban Poison, known for its uplifting, energetic effects, meets Frisian Dew, a hardy, high-yielding outdoor variety.
This combination results in a vigorous hybrid that flourishes in temperate, coastal, and high-altitude environments while maintaining an exceptional terpene profile.
This strain provides a clear, energetic, and uplifting high, making it perfect for daytime use.
The cerebral effects enhance creativity, sociability, and focus without inducing paranoia.
While moderate doses deliver a smooth, euphoric buzz, higher doses can introduce a deeply relaxing, almost sedative sensation, giving users the flexibility to tailor their experience.
Durban Dew boasts a unique and complex terpene profile, offering a pungent blend of sweet, sour, and fruity notes.
The aroma combines fresh berries with hints of citrus, reminiscent of sour candy.
Upon inhalation, the smooth smoke carries a mix of sweet and tart flavors, with subtle earthy undertones that enhance the overall depth.
Durban Dew is an incredibly versatile and hardy strain suited for multiple environments.
Outdoors, it thrives in open ground, reaching towering heights of 2.5-4 meters with a classic Christmas tree structure.
Its strong branches support heavy yields, and its open bud structure helps deter mold in humid conditions.
Indoors, it performs well in SOG and SCROG setups, benefiting from training techniques like topping and supercropping to maximize production.
Durban Dew’s stimulating effects make it an excellent choice for those seeking motivation, mood enhancement, or creative inspiration.
It may assist with stress, fatigue, and focus-related challenges while providing a smooth transition from an energetic buzz to a relaxing finish.
Growth pattern of Durban Feminized
We’ve bred Durban Feminized cannabis seeds to produce exceptionally pure outdoor sativa plants. Parent strain Durban Poison is one of the world’s most famous cannabis landraces, and we wanted to make it accessible to you. Developed using only specific plants from the established Durban gene pool, these seeds ensure the heritage of the strain remains intact.
The plants are slightly shorter than other Durban strains. They also take less time to flower, and produce denser groups of flowers during the blooming stage. Expect to see a substantial main stem, flanked by strong lateral branches, develop during the vegetation period. Once flowering properly begins the calyxes grow at the nodes, then spread upwards, filling in the spaces on the branches and main stem. The short pistils are often pink or yellow to begin with, then darken as the plants continue to grow.
Durban Feminized is a good option for beginners, as it can withstand most common grower errors. Its resilience and reliability mean it can produce plentiful yields, even in colder climates.
The plants grow steadily. By keeping the vegetation period short and/or cutting them back, their height can be limited to just 150 centimetres if required. Using this approach makes it well-suited to growing in smaller gardens, or even on a balcony. Gardeners looking to maximise the height should start the seeds indoors in early spring, move them outside once the frosts are definitely over, then resist pruning or cutting them back. This approach results in plants that are around a metre taller.
The height of Durban Feminized means it benefits from techniques like training or supercropping. If growing compact plants, the Sea of Green (SOG) or Screen of Green (SCROG) methods can be used instead. The thicker lateral branches mean that lollipopping isn’t usually beneficial.
Effect, taste, and smell of Durban Feminized
Durban Feminized produces distinctively sweet aromas and flavours, with strong top notes of citrus and aniseed. Plants with darker leaves often have an earthier, warmer scent while they’re flowering, which subtly shifts to coffee, sandalwood or even chocolate.
Celebrated for its powerful cerebral high, yet also calming and relaxing, Durban Feminized is ideal for creative activities. The effects are exceptionally smooth, but intense rather than mild.
