Auto Seeds Durban Poison AUTO

Strain Overview

Durban Poison AUTO seeds by Auto Seeds offer a fast-flowering, sativa-dominant experience rooted in the legendary South African landrace genetics of Durban Poison. Bred by crossing the original Durban Poison with robust Ruderalis, this autoflowering variety captures the bold character and distinct aromatic qualities of its parent strain while introducing the convenience of automatic flowering. Durban Poison AUTO seeds are ideal for growers seeking a pure, energetic sativa profile in a compact, low-maintenance format suited to a wide range of growing environments.

Genetic Lineage and Growth Traits

Durban Poison AUTO seeds are the result of blending the renowned Durban Poison with resilient Ruderalis genetics. This cross yields a mostly sativa structure, with about 80% sativa and 20% indica influence, producing tall, elegant plants that typically reach between 80 and 140 centimeters in height. Designed to begin flowering automatically after approximately four weeks of vegetative growth, these plants complete their lifecycle in 65 to 75 days from seed. The sativa dominance is evident in the slender leaf shape, branch structure, and the strain’s vigorous upward growth, making it especially responsive to training techniques such as low-stress training and screen of green setups.

Cultivation and Yield

Durban Poison AUTO seeds are a reliable option for both indoor and outdoor cultivators, offering strong adaptability and robust growth in various climates. While this strain performs best in warm, low-humidity environments, it also does well under strong artificial light in indoor setups. Plants respond favorably to advanced training techniques that help maximize space and yield. Durban Poison AUTO can be cultivated in either soil or hydroponic systems, delivering dependable performance across both mediums. Harvests typically occur between June and the end of September in outdoor settings, aligning well with seasonal cycles in temperate regions.

Flavor and Aroma Profile

Durban Poison AUTO seeds are known for producing a sharp, spicy-sweet aromatic profile that stands out immediately in the grow room and when cured. Upon breaking apart the dried flowers, expect a burst of earthy anise and licorice notes layered with subtle pine and citrus zest. This complex blend of aromas translates into a flavorful smoke or vapor, offering a smooth inhale with sweet herbal undertones followed by a slightly peppery, floral finish. The unique combination of Durban Poison’s native terpene structure and the fast-finishing autoflower format gives this strain a refined sensory appeal that is unmistakable.

Bag Appeal and Visual Characteristics

Buds grown from Durban Poison AUTO seeds are visually striking, with long, tapered colas covered in glistening trichomes. The flower structure tends to be less compact than an indica, but still dense and resin-rich. The calyxes are often bright green with occasional purple hints, surrounded by thin orange pistils that highlight the sativa influence. The overall aesthetic is clean and classic, with a frosty finish that suggests potency and quality. These buds carry strong bag appeal, particularly for growers and consumers who appreciate old-school landrace strains with a modern autoflower twist.

Growing Environment and Seed Type

Durban Poison AUTO seeds are feminized autoflowering seeds, ensuring that each plant produces flowers without the need to remove male plants or modify lighting schedules. This streamlined format makes the strain accessible to new growers while offering flexibility and control to experienced cultivators. Ideal for both indoor tents and outdoor gardens, these seeds flourish with consistent light and moderate feeding. Auto Seeds developed Durban Poison AUTO to maintain the distinct sativa character of the original while improving ease of growth and shortening the harvest window, making it an excellent choice for quick, high-quality cultivation.
