What is the Auto Durban Poison strain?
Auto Durban Poison is a sativa cannabis strain with up to 25.0% THC, known for its uplifted effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.
Auto Durban Poison is an autoflowering version of the legendary Durban Poison strain, created by crossing the South African landrace with Ruderalis genetics. The original Durban Poison is a South African landrace sativa discovered in the 1970s by cannabis cultivator Ed Rosenthal during a trip to South Africa. Ed was drawn to its relatively fast flowering time and later shared seeds with other growers, leading to its worldwide distribution through Dutch seed banks and coffeeshops. This autoflowering version maintains the energetic, uplifting characteristics of its parent while offering the convenience of automatic flowering regardless of light cycle.
Auto Durban Poison is a sativa-dominant hybrid with approximately 80% Sativa and 20% Indica genetics, containing no pure Indica lineage but rather Sativa and Ruderalis genetics. The strain delivers pure sativa effects with an energetic, uplifting high that sparks creativity and mental stimulation while maintaining focus. Plants maintain their tall, slender sativa structure throughout flowering, producing elongated buds in dense clusters with a vibrant green hue and unmistakable spicy aroma. The flowering time is remarkably short for a sativa, completing its cycle in about 10-11 weeks from germination both indoors and outdoors. The strain features a sweet and spicy aroma with notes of fresh pine, ripe citrus, and earthy undertones, deriving from a unique terpene profile rich in terpinolene, myrcene, and pinene.
