Poison Durban Elixir
Also known as: Poison Durban, Durban Poison Elixir
Poison Durban Elixir Strain Overview
Poison Durban Elixir is a sativa-dominant cannabis strain that represents a modern interpretation of the classic Durban Poison landrace. This strain was developed by crossing the legendary South African Durban Poison with other sativa genetics, though the exact secondary parentage varies among different breeders' versions. The name 'Elixir' suggests a particularly potent or refined expression of the Durban Poison lineage, with some breeders claiming it represents an enhanced version of the original strain.
The strain typically produces medium to tall plants with elongated, spear-shaped buds that are light to medium green in color, often with vibrant orange pistils. The buds are usually dense and resinous, covered in a generous layer of trichomes that give them a frosty appearance. Poison Durban Elixir maintains the classic sativa structure with long internodal spacing and relatively loose bud formation compared to indica varieties.
Notable features include its distinctive terpene profile that combines the sweet, anise-like aroma of traditional Durban Poison with additional citrus and herbal notes. The strain is prized for its clear-headed, energetic effects that are characteristic of pure sativas, making it popular among users seeking daytime relief without significant sedation or cognitive impairment. As with many modern strains, exact genetic lineage and characteristics can vary between different breeders' interpretations.

Poison Durban Elixir is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. Flowering time typically ranges from 9-11 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late October in northern hemisphere climates.
