Durban Cannabis Seeds from Sensi Seeds

This chunky subtropical Sativa is named after the South African port city of Durban and has been the dominant strain of dagga in the surrounding hills and plains for longer than anyone can remember. The genotype is favoured by local growers for yield and dependable, uniform flowering - across the region, thousands of kilos of Durban’s dark, distinctive Sativa buds are produced each year. The fact that Durban also happens to be Africa’s busiest port allows a good proportion of each harvest to reach smokers in every other continent, making the region’s namesake cannabis the best-known African strain by any measure

In her homeland, Durban’s reputation among growers has been earned through a lifetime of first-class results and rock-solid reliability. Smokers everywhere – even those who only see imported Durban in brutally compressed ‘brick’ form – know her to be a Sativa like no other, with a mind-blowing high that puts a person’s head in the clouds and occasionally seems to leave the body back on earth.

Sensi Durban captures all these qualities in form that can flourish in temperate north as easily as in the tropical zones. Our acclimatised Durban is one of the purest Sativa seed-strains available today and she's very different from the tall, spindly, extra-sensitive Sativas found closer to the equator. Durban is heavy-branching, robust and even in the worst summer she can produce stunning harvests of sparkling, sticky buds with a distinct lemon-aniseed flavour.

In her land of origin, this strain is known as Durban Poison when grown to her full potential. Naturally, Durban is as non-toxic as every other strain of cannabis, though her unusual power and the immediate rush with which it takes effect have occasionally been known to unnerve less experienced smokers. Many people report a unique effect from Durban which might be described as a ‘narcotic Sativa’. At higher doses it can induce a dreamy, red-eyed high that doesn’t weigh down smokers with the lack of energy or soporific effects common to comparably powerful Indicas.

Strain FAQ

Why are IBL strains rare and valuable?

Creating a true IBL strain needs many generations of selective breeding to stabilise the genetic line. IBL strains are rare and valuable in the cannabis market since they need a lot of work to acquire this genetic purity and stability.

What is responsible for the Anise flavour?

Anethole, a cannabis terpene-like molecule, gives anise plants and cannabis strains their anise taste. Anethole isn't a terpene and doesn't present in cannabis, but its structural similarities can give it an anise flavour.

Can 12/12 photoperiod hybrids flower faster?

Breeders have been working cross-breeding hybrids to meet the 12/12 light schedule and speed up flowering. These optimised hybrids can finish faster than other varieties without compromising yield or potency.

Were Sativa strains ever used for anything other than getting high or medicine?

Sativas' capabilities go beyond just these two things. Their strong fibres have been used to make ropes, clothes, and paper. This shows just how varied and valuable the cannabis plant has been even before its more modern uses.

How can cannabis enthusiasts learn from regular seeds?

Regular seeds are a gateway to the production of new and exciting strains. They can also show valuable information on cannabis' life cycle and genetics and how to recognise and manage both male and female plants.
