Durban Blue Widow
Also known as: Durban Blue Widow, Durban Blue Widow Hybrid
Durban Blue Widow Strain Overview
Durban Blue Widow is a relatively rare hybrid cannabis strain that combines genetics from two well-known parent strains. The exact origins and breeding history are somewhat obscure, with limited documentation available from established breeders. This strain appears to be a cross between Durban Poison, a pure sativa landrace from South Africa, and Blue Widow, itself a hybrid of Blueberry and White Widow. The combination creates a plant that exhibits characteristics from both its indica and sativa heritage.
The strain typically produces medium-sized plants with dense, resinous buds that display a mix of green and purple hues, often with blue undertones that give it its name. The buds are usually covered in a generous layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance. The aroma profile combines the sweet, fruity notes of Blueberry with the earthy, spicy characteristics of Durban Poison, creating a complex sensory experience. The flavor often follows the aroma, with users reporting a smooth smoke that carries sweet berry notes with undertones of spice and earthiness.
Durban Blue Widow is known for its balanced effects that begin with cerebral stimulation typical of sativa-dominant strains, followed by gradual body relaxation. The high THC content makes it a potent choice for experienced users, while the balanced nature of the hybrid makes it accessible to those seeking both mental and physical effects. Due to its relative rarity, specific growing characteristics and consistent phenotype expression may vary between different sources and growers.

Durban Blue Widow is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates.
