i wouldn't get DP durban. i was looking into their cali-o myself, but have seen too many reports of hermies in their gear. i'd look elsewhere for DP. holy smokes' mozambique poison isn't too different from durban. it tastes less like a licorice stick and more like the spice anise that's where the flavor comes from maybe with a little anise tasting dried basil in the mix. i didn't bud my freebie as it was a male, and the lavor might deepen in budding, but it was definitely in the durban ballpark. the malawi gold i bought to get that freebie, 2 more malawis and 2 mulanje gold sativa freebies got burned and had to be cut down early, but was really promising smoking in early bud form. if you time your attitude purchase right at holy smokes, you can get the malawi/mozambique/mulanje offer that sometimes switches to indicas.
i'd suggest high quality seeds' durban before DP for sure. their $28 haze x skunk kicks more ass than durban to me as it's trippier where the pure durban i smoked iun the 90s was more like a generic haze than triippy thai it's always compared to. it was nice, but not that trippy. if you REALLY want "the best" durban, $en$i $eed$ version should be awesome as their jack herer is considered about the best in the world and i'd expect them to be as diligent with their durban.
DP though is low grade hermie schwag like greenhouse and probably part of the reason dutch breeders have such a bad rep in general though a few are legit.
are you growing for the flavor, or the buzz?
