Growing Durban Poison
Growing Durban Poison fits indoor growers with vertical headroom; sativa stretch can double plant height after the 12/12 flip. Durban Poison is photoperiod, which means you control when it flowers by switching from 18/6 (vegetative) to 12/12 (flowering). Most indoor growers veg for 4-6 weeks before the flip. Indoor yields land around 450-550 g/m² under quality LED, and outdoor plants given full sun and 5-7 gallon containers reliably produce 500-700 g/plant. Expected plant height is 120-180 cm, with intermediate cultivation difficulty. Practical tips that move the needle: apply low-stress training in week 2 of veg, bend the main stem horizontally and tie down to expose lower nodes; and defoliate strategically on day 21 of flower; remove fan leaves blocking interior bud sites without stripping the plant. The most common challenge growers report is calcium and magnesium supplementation under bright LED lighting; cal-mag at 2-3 mL/gal from week 2 prevents the most common deficiency.
Durban PoisonLineage & Genetics
Durban Poison traces back to South African Sativa landrace, a cross that has shaped the modern cannabis menu for over a decade. The parental genetics explain the cerebral lift and elongated flower clusters you see in the finished plant. Royal King Genetics works from a verified mother selection, so seeds run true to type rather than producing the wide phenotype variation cheaper sources are known for.
