Also known as: Durban Breath OG
What is the Durban Breath strain?
Durban Breath is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its euphoric effects and earthy and herbal flavor profile.
Durban Breath is a modern hybrid cannabis strain created by crossing two well-established parent strains: Durban Poison and Mendo Breath. This combination brings together the energetic, clear-headed effects of a classic sativa with the relaxing, full-bodied qualities of an indica-dominant hybrid. The strain emerged in the late 2010s as breeders sought to create varieties that offered both recreational appeal and potential therapeutic benefits.
The strain typically produces medium to large-sized buds with a dense, chunky structure characteristic of its Mendo Breath lineage. The flowers display a striking appearance with deep green foliage often accented by purple and blue hues, particularly when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. A thick coating of trichomes gives the buds a frosty, crystalline appearance, while orange and amber pistils weave through the dense floral clusters.
Durban Breath is noted for its complex aromatic profile that combines the sweet, earthy notes of Mendo Breath with the distinctive licorice and anise undertones inherited from Durban Poison. The flavor experience typically includes sweet, herbal notes on the inhale with a spicy, peppery finish. The strain has gained popularity among both recreational users and medical cannabis patients for its balanced effects and versatile applications.

How do you grow Durban Breath?
Durban Breath is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it better suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready by mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are generally good, producing approximately 14-18 ounces per square meter, while outdoor plants can yield 16-20 ounces per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor growing environments but thrives in controlled indoor settings where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants tend to grow to medium height, making them suitable for various growing spaces. Durban Breath responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize yields. Growers should monitor for common cannabis pests and maintain good air circulation to prevent mold, particularly in the dense buds. The plants benefit from a balanced nutrient regimen with particular attention during the flowering phase.
