Hi all im after some info from us growers as the seedbanks seem to tell you what they want

Ive just received some South African Durban Poison x Skunk hqs seeds courtesy of ssuk

Indoor this time , least they didnt send me HH outdoors like last time , thats a shabby plant indeed , ill have harvest pics soon

Anyway anyone thats grown/smoked this please let me know ..... the durban poison makes the cross sound great & S.Africa exotic too , with some skunk thrown in for good measure

Any info greatly appreciated

omg I was looking at Durban Poison just an hour ago thinking how much I'd like to grow it...

I'm interested too! Also, seems like it's stocked by quite a few seedbanks... all the same source, or are some seedbanks' DP genes better than others?

Also, what sort of height does it reach if vegged to about 1.5ft?

Ohhh I didn't see the "x skunk" hehe

Hi Lawless

Just started Durban Poison 20 days into veg from seeds popping. The seeds came via the store here :

Genetics: Durban Poison
Variety: Pure sativa
Type: Pure-bred, True-Breeding
Harvest Date: October
Flowering Period:10 weeks
THC Content: 8-10%
Characteristics: Early harvest

Durban Poison is a very early finishing pure sativa with a good sweet aniseed taste and strong physical high similar to Thai varieties. Plants produce large buds that are well known for their resistance to disease and mould. These cannabis seeds are specially selected from crops grown in the wild in South Africa.

I've not done Durban Poison before so its a bit of a challenge but I've sucessfully grown Sativas in my limited space and kept them down to 36" under my 250 HPS in 6" sq pots (4 of them). I'm gonna follow the same methods with the Durban. I'll try and keep us updated as to progress Good luck with yours ....... btw what are/is seeds courtesy of ssuk?

Thanks for the reply's guy's

After reading the HQS booklet they sent with them i noticed once again these listed in the outdoor section - Again thats twice ive had outdoor seeds from SSUK , i wont be letting them have the pleasure again thats for sure , i live in cold england ffs

Anyways it does also say in the book that "All our seeds can be grown indoor, outdoor & in a greenhouse" so not alls bad , wouldnt of minded the J.herer or ole 47 tho

NSS sounds lovely from the description , ill give em a go as soon as space permits

I know you all all on about HQS, let me just stir you away from Dutch passion's durbam. Havin lived in s.africa and grown d real shiznit I thought it'd be a nice smoke this xmas so i got a single feminzed seed from Dutch passion hoping for something vaguely resembling a durban. how wrong I was. A friend of mine had grown it the year before and said it wasnt worth it so I didnt belive him (stupidly, or hoping to defend DP's reputation, as they are generally quite good) and my single durban female has hermie'd twice (I hope twice anyway) only to have her male genitalia yanked off. Not only did she hermie, shes the runt outta the tent. Shes even being beaten in height, flower size, crystallage and vigour and health By a fucking super haze (skunk x haze)! now, need I say more?

Lawless mate what/who is SSUK cos I just done a google on SSUK and came up with some 'swinger' sites

SSUK sent me the same seeds lawless!?, only one in 3 germed so far so cant really help, i started a similar thread a couple of weeks ago too cos i couldnt find anything on HQS's version of da durban!!

All I know is whats written on the pack, you had any luck with yours yet?

I got a free pack of Durban Poison x Skunk No. 1

I think it was from a big batch that Sam Skunkman found nobody was buying, and he coudn't shift

general consensus was that germination rates are low, but that there are some good plants to be found - very pretty pink pistils

I heard the smoke was pretty strong, with a noticeable body element to the high

.....

I have to admit, Durban strains have always been the least interesting to me out of all the African varieties out there - most people I know are of the opinion that the closer you can get to the equator the better

i.e. Congolese, Malawi .... and then in West Africa: Nigeria, Senegal, Ghana
