Is anyone growing this at all or grew it recently or generally in the past? I've just put in a few beans and I'm really excited to grow my first pure sativa strain.

Do you have any tips? How tall did it grow for you inside? +rep for input

Thanks!

Durban Poison is one of the really old strains. I don't know of anybody that's grown it.

Never grew it, but smoked it a few times. It is top shelf all the way.

I want to grow it someday, so if you make a journal, I will sub for sure to see how yours turns out.

You don't hear much about Durban Poison, I think it's marked as "outdoor only". If you grow it, I wanna see what it looks like indoors. :)

I have it going, it sprouted this morning and I was ecstatic about it, went to put it under 400W right away. The game plan is to veg it for a total of 6 weeks and top it at three weeks just above the second node, maybe I'll be lucky to get four colas but I'll be happy with two also. I'm suspecting this will be going easily for 10-11 weeks from the 12/12 switch, so the planned chop will be around the second week of November. I'm pretty bad about keeping journals and stuff but I'll try my best to keep some updates as I don't see a lot of info on Durban in any of them forums. I guess there will be nothing to report for at least two weeks. Thanks for the input guys!

Yeah grew it outside for couple of seasons. Not great to smoke, bit mild and tastes like anaseed. Grows well tho, and got av 6 oz plant, very leafy and buds are leafy too. South African strains dont have the best rep.

I dunno if yur gonna wanna veg those for 6 weeks..they stretch and get pretty big when you flip em...good thing is they finish quick and the smoke is nice and up...not a world beater in potency but the high is real good...i like the taste of it..but some people dont care for it, to me its got a sweet black licorice sorta taste with a lil fruityness...yields are pretty good to for a quick sativa

I have smoked DP and it was some of the best smoke i have had.Who were yours from?

And i would really have to disagree with that about s.africa weed not having a good rep.There are alot of breeders today trying to bring gear based on s.african genetics.

The beans I have are from Dutch Passion, which according to Cannabis Culture are the original Durban Poison. I am having a really high (lol) hopes for it, I always wanted to try DP, going back to the mid 90's, heard many good things about it.

I would say you're right that S African genetics have a bad rep. Genetics being what it is, I'm sure that some phenos are mightier than others. Out of 100 seeds, you're gonna get some that are pretty weak in comparison, and some that are the absolute friggin' BOMB!!

Good day to all, i would just like to answer your question as i think i would be able to answer it best since i live in South Africa Durban, where this strain is originally from and grows wild.The High is very euphoric in the beginning and starts to wear off after a long time this strain makes me very creative, the high is at first a heavy head high then it creeps away quickly to give you that euphoric high. The strain has not been stabalised so you will be getting some shit seeds and some really good seeds, if you come across a really good DP genetic keep it for your mother plant. DP gets extremely tall and i mean extreamly tall, my plants i grew where well over 2 meters tall outside obviously lol, this is not a plant i would want to grow indoors. takes ages to flower. I grow my Sativas outdoors and my Indicas indoors. hope this helps if you want some seeds i got shit loads lol would be more than happy to post some up to you. and there are 3 really strong world class strains to come out of south africa, thats DP, Swazi Red Beard, Malowi Gold. Have a look into them hope this has helped

And i will also have to disagree with you there BUDS, SA Strains are amongst the best in the world when it comes to Sativas, Go to amsterdam and ask any coffee shop to recommend you a top class sativa and DP will be on the top of the list.

lets get some pics of people growing DP i will see if i can upload some of my old pics so you can see my outdoor plants DP obviously lol
 
I have one harvest of durban poison from dutch passion . 100% sativa. Grown 2 seeds each grown preety different. botch flowered very quickly but did not produce lot of reisin. grown indoors under cfl and its not too strong but great high. i blame strenght to cfl and now i will see what about hps. they dont grow high. i veg them till 25cm heigh and they finished being about 50 cm with some indicas growing next to them slightly taller. would say that seeds are rullete. one slightly hermied and self polinated forming 3seeds but not affecting other plants. Smell is incredible.

I'm trying to figure out how tall to veg a Durban before flipping over to flower. Doesn't have to be perfect but I want to aim for like 4 feet, give or take. It's a Dutch Passion.


nigtro yours looks like it's around 4 feet tall there, do you remember how tall it was when you started flowering?

Yeah I have a pic from day one actually ......

About 2 feet I guess on first day of flower, As of this weekend its around 4.5 or close to.
