I've just sent aload more in to the bay so if you want any keep your eye on there in the next week.

Well my Durban Poison was 100% pure durban, not a hybrid, It was my earliest NLD Sativa, variety back in the 70's. No WLD Indica blood in it at all, zero.
I have grown many different imported seed batches from Durban, they were all at least a bit early, and all smelled and tasted at least a bit like Anise or licorice. I got the seeds from many different sources at many different times.
The Cannabis sold in Durban is from Swaziland, Lesotho, Transkei, KwaZulu-Natal, and from the farm areas right around Duban.
So what is real Durban Poison? All of the above is marketed as Durban Poison if it will help the sales. The real Swazi I grew was later maturing the the Duban. Smelled different, and looked different also. I got most of my seeds from friends that went to the farms, south of Durban and found seeds from the best plants for me. Where did you get yours? Who from and where from?

I do not grow under lights, but under natural light it was faster then any other drug variety available as seeds back in the mid 70's.

Thanks for putting me right on that 1 sam.I've not been able to grow these out properly in the UK climate but those who've grown it out in warmer southern country's have had great results with it with flowering taking 10/11 weeks which is alot quicker then here in the UK.Here it starts flowering late aug to mid sept and goes through to late nov to mid dec in the greenhouse and would probably go alot longer if it wasn't for frosts and dark wet days of winter.I've got a few african seeds sativas including the swazi rooi bart which has got slightly wider leafs than the durban and a slightly sweeter peppery taste to it to,but i need to grow out alot more to find a keeper or 3.

along with skunk two the the best strains of all time. both were exceptional in their ability to acclimate to all kinds of grow environments and produce stellar results.

magnificent breeding accomplishments.

Durban poison will finish outdoors here most years, it depends how cold and wet the fall is. Done by very early Oct at the latest.

Ask them, They got my pure Durban Poison maybe 25 years ago and then started making their own, I think from mine. I do not know what they sell today, just ask them.
Mostly I made Durban X Skunk#1 as it was great and people loved it, and also then lots fewer people used it to make knock-offs.
I liked Durban, but it was not the best of the best of the best, It was early, interesting and loved by many, I do not know if pure Duban was more popular then the Durban/Skunk#1 or Durban/OHaze. But my and others Durban Poison is still around in many hybrids. People love the early NLD Sativa aspects and the anise/liquorice spicy taste and smells.
