Durban Poison Auto
Also known as: Durban Poison Autoflowering, Auto Durban Poison
What is the Durban Poison Auto strain?
Durban Poison Auto is a sativa cannabis strain with up to 22.0% THC, known for its energetic effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.
Durban Poison Auto is an autoflowering version of the classic South African landrace strain Durban Poison. This adaptation maintains the pure sativa genetics of its parent while incorporating ruderalis genetics to create an automatic flowering variety. The original Durban Poison strain originated in the port city of Durban, South Africa, where it has been cultivated for centuries by local farmers. Breeders developed the autoflowering version to preserve the strain's distinctive characteristics while making it more accessible to growers in various climates and with different experience levels.
The strain is characterized by its tall, slender structure with long, narrow leaves typical of pure sativa varieties. The buds are dense and resinous, often displaying a light green color with vibrant orange pistils and a generous coating of trichomes. Durban Poison Auto is renowned for its sweet, anise-like aroma with undertones of pine and citrus, a terpene profile that remains largely intact in this autoflowering adaptation. The plant's autoflowering nature means it transitions from vegetative growth to flowering based on age rather than light cycle changes.
Notable features include its relatively short life cycle (typically 10-12 weeks from seed to harvest) and its resilience to various growing conditions. While maintaining the energetic, clear-headed effects of the original Durban Poison, this autoflowering version offers greater cultivation flexibility, making it suitable for growers in regions with shorter growing seasons or those seeking multiple harvests in a single year. The strain has gained popularity among both recreational users and medical cannabis patients who appreciate sativa-dominant effects without the extended flowering time of photoperiod varieties.

How do you grow Durban Poison Auto?
Durban Poison Auto is considered a moderately easy strain to grow, suitable for both beginners and experienced cultivators. The flowering time is typically 8-10 weeks from seed, with a total life cycle of 10-12 weeks. Expected yields range from 300-500 grams per square meter indoors or 30-100 grams per plant outdoors. The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments, though it thrives in warm, Mediterranean-like climates when grown outside. Plants typically reach heights of 80-120cm indoors and 100-150cm outdoors. Special considerations include providing adequate support for the tall, slender structure, ensuring good air circulation to prevent mold, and avoiding overwatering as the plant is somewhat drought-tolerant.
