Durban Poison Autoflower, a Sativa-dominant hybrid, perfectly
combines the landrace genetics of the South African queen of green
“Durban Poison” with a dash of Ruderalis genetics, delivering a cultivar
that is equal parts quick to grow and punchy in potency.
Durban
Poison Autoflower sticks close to her landrace Sativa roots. The high
is all about that 'up' feeling, with a fast-acting, energetic rush as
soon as you light this one up.
The THC content
floats around the 25% mark, depending on the growing conditions. Keep
the temps a little warmer and the humidity down for the entire grow to
reach that max potency and run her hydro if you have the setup.
The
initial Sativa rush only continues, with almost no trace of Indica
effects - expect a euphoric, creative, and uplifting high that will keep
you productive and focused for a good few hour. Perfect for rainy days,
long nights, and any time you need a little pick-me-up.
Like
her OG photoperiod sister, Durban Poison Auto is a popular choice for
medical users due to its energetic and uplifting effects. Medical
patients report that Durban Poison Auto helps combat fatigue,
depression, and stress, making her a top choice for those seeking
natural relief. The high THC content makes her a great choice for
managing chronic pain and migraines as well.
Durban
Poison Auto again stays true to her landrace roots, with an
'old-school' flavour and aroma with hints of earthy, piney, citrus notes
and a constant undercurrent of aniseed. The exhale is more savoury than
sweet, but a subtle nod of vanilla lingers along for the ride.
The
terpene profile is dominated by Myrcene and Limonene, but also notable
is the presence of Beta-Caryophyllene, giving Durban Poison Auto a
unique twist on her classic taste.
Sure, it's a little different to the usual Kush or Cookie strains on offer, but that's what makes Durban Poison Auto so special.
Durban Poison Autoflower is pretty well suited to both indoor and outdoor growth, but the climate does need to be right.
She
prefers a warm, sunny climate with low humidity, but her Ruderalis
genetics make her a little more resilient to cooler temps than most
photoperiodic Sativa options.
Expect a
vegetative growth stage of around four weeks before flowering
automatically kicks in. It important to give her everything she needs
from day one, from the right soil/medium and nutrients to a powerful
light source. Full sun for outdoor growers, or LED/HID for indoors.
For
a Sativa-dominant strain, Durban Poison Autoflower is surprisingly
bushy, usually maxing out at around 60 cm to 110 cm. She is a great
candidate for a combination of LST and ScrOG, where you can train her
outwards to increase light penetration and canopy airflow.
The
Sativa genetics keep the buds a little less dense than a lot of the
strains dominating the rec scene right now, but the size of the flowers
is ridiculous, especially for an auto.
The buds
are usually a vibrant light green, interspersed with vivid orange
pistils, offering a striking contrast that pops. The trichome covering
is rich, almost dripping.
It's pretty rare to
see landrace genetics offered in autoflower form, and even rarer to find
an option that actually sticks close to those roots. With Durban Poison
Autoflower, you get the best of both worlds - a quick-growing
autoflower with all the classic characteristics of one of the most
iconic Sativa strains in the world.
Her high
potency (20%+ THC, sometimes topping 25%), energetic effects, huge yield
potential (400-500gr/m²), unique but also delicious fragrance and
taste, plus the crazy fast turnaround of just 11 weeks from seed to
harvest make Durban Poison Autoflower a must-have addition to any
grower's collection.
