Durban Poison (Sativa)

Registry ID: SR-00000121 · Lineage: South African Landrace · Breeder: Ed Rosenthal

Registry context, terpene notes, cultivation notes

Durban Poison is catalogued in the Strains Registry under the permanent identifier SR-00000121, an address that does not change if the cultivar is later renamed, rebranded, or re-released by another breeder. Its declared lineage — South African Landrace — places it inside a family tree that the registry cross-references against parallel records so that shared parents surface across sibling strains. The breeder of record is Ed Rosenthal, and the registry treats breeder attribution as a mutable field that can be corrected through the dispute path if a stronger provenance claim is submitted.

Sativa-leaning cultivars are typically taller and slower to flower, with narrower leaflets and a lighter, more open bud structure. Reported flavor descriptors for Durban Poison cluster around pine, sweet, spicy, herbal, licorice, which map onto a recognizable aromatic signature growers and reviewers use to phenotype-hunt this line. Those descriptors are consistent with a terpene profile in which alpha-pinene, myrcene, beta-caryophyllene tend to lead — noting that terpene expression shifts with cure, light spectrum, and harvest window, so any single lab panel is a snapshot, not a fingerprint.

Effect reports for Durban Poison skew toward energetic, uplifting, creative, focused, happy — remembering that self-reported effects are dose-, tolerance-, and setting-dependent, and the registry weights them as community signal rather than pharmacological claim. Cultivation notes typical of sativa-dominant lines like this one include a longer flowering window (often 10–12 weeks), a stretchy vegetative-to-flower transition that rewards early topping and trellising, and airier bud structure that resists mold but demands patience on ripening. As with every registry record, this page is a canonical anchor: it is meant to be cited, cross-linked, and corrected over time, not treated as a static description.
