Dominant Terpenes in Durban Poison
Durban Poison’s flavor is earthy and sweet, and is created by the dominant terpenes within its genetic makeup. Its terpene profile is what gives the strain its specific flavors and scents, like licorice and citrus. The science behind this strain is unique and complex, and a better understanding of the genetics of the strain can help you choose the right flavor and aroma profiles for your tastes. Terpinolene is one of the most dominant terpenes in Durban Poison and can be found in about one in ten cannabis cultivars. Terpinolene has a flavor and aroma that is spicy and sweet, and can also be found in apples and nutmeg. Myrcene, which is known as “The Mother of all Terpenes,” gives off an earthy flavor and aroma when found in cannabis. You can find Pinene in Durban Poison as well as pine needles and conifer trees. Pinene is one of the most common terpenes found in marijuana and gives off an earthy, pine-like aroma and flavor that is sharp and lingers on the tongue.
100% Sativa Effects
Durban Poison is entirely made up of Sativa lineage, making it an energy-boosting strain that promotes focus when used in moderation. The cerebral buzz you catch from this strain is perfect for artists and other creative types. You will feel energized and inspired without the lag that you would get from a strain with Indica genetics. Most veteran cannabis users compare a hit of Durban Poison to taking a shot of espresso in the morning. It will help to wake you up and make you more productive throughout the day. This is one of the many reasons why folks use this strain during the day rather than at night. Perfect for wake-and-bake cannabis enthusiasts, Durban Poison can uplift your mood and give you a mental euphoria that can be enjoyed for hours on end.
Potent and Pungent Buds
Durban Poison plants grow into tall plants with cone-shaped buds that are covered in crystal resin trichomes. Those trichomes are what help add the pungent scent to this strain, with an aroma similar to licorice and earth. These buds are totally unique in the cannabis kingdom. If you are growing your cannabis indoors, you can expect to harvest around 350 grams per square meter. If you grow your bud outdoors, then you can anticipate harvesting just shy of 450 grams per plant. Its flowering time is longer than most, taking around 60-70 days to complete if you grow your plants indoors. If you were to plant your seeds in late Spring, you should be ready to harvest around the end of October. Dialing in the proper conditions indoors will help you grow super potent buds. It doesn’t matter where you choose to grow your plants because both indoor and outdoor grows produce flavorful buds.
Ideal Conditions For Growing Durban Poison Seeds
Durban Poison cannabis plants are easy to grow even for first-time cultivators. These plants grow very tall and can reach maximum heights of 12 feet, which means you’ll need to provide ample vertical room for these plants to grow. Durban poison plants perform equally well indoors and outdoors. Outdoor plants will grow similarly to indoor plants if you have access to a greenhouse where the climate and height can be controlled. While some cultivators prefer to grow their cannabis plants in natural sunlight and fresh air, others prefer the more predictable and easy-to-manipulate indoor growing climate. Whether you grow indoors or outdoors, you are going to need a climate that is similar to that of its South African origins. Ideally, the temperature should be between 70 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit. The relative humidity should be between 40% and 50%. If you are going to grow this strain indoors, you will need to replicate the warm and semi-humid climate these plants are used to. If your local weather is similar to its preferred conditions, your crop will perform exceptionally well outdoors. However, setting up your grow inside or in a greenhouse will help remove outdoor variables from the equation. Durban Poison plants should be pruned and trained to prevent overcrowding. Because these plants are super-tall, they need near-constant trimming to manage the growth. If the height of these plants isn’t controlled indoors, they run the risk of burning at the topmost buds because they will grow too close to the grow lights.
