Durban Poison Auto

Growing Tips for Durban Poison Auto

Durban Poison Auto is the perfect starter strain for growers with limited experience cultivating cannabis. Durban Poison Auto marijuana plants will thrive indoors and outdoors, but have an easier time growing indoors because of the ability to completely control the climate. If you choose to grow indoors, you will have to replicate a steady environment similar to a warm Mediterranean climate. Durban Poison Auto cannabis seeds grow into bushy plants with long limbs and leaves. The plants are deep, dark green, and the buds appear faded green because of the resinous trichomes covering them. If you choose to grow outdoors, you will need consistent temperature and humidity to bring these plants to completion. Doing so will ensure that you grow healthy buds from the top of the plants down to the buds closest to the soil. Having access to a greenhouse is the best way to give these plants the ideal outdoor climate without having to contend with unexpected weather variables — particularly useful across many Canadian regions. These plants grow to a short to medium height and can reach around 60–150 centimetres tall. Because the plants reach a maximum indoor and outdoor height of approximately 150 centimetres, they tend to grow taller when left out in the elements. The ideal temperature for these plants is around 21–29 degrees Celsius and slightly cooler at night. Humidity levels should be kept around 40–60% during the vegetative growth stage and the flowering stage, but gradually lowering the humidity each week will help this plant thrive. Growing indoors will ensure that moderate humidity levels and moderate temperatures are consistent and maintained every day that the plants are in the growing stages. Topping and low-stress training (LST) methods are the most beneficial techniques for this strain. If performed correctly, these methods will help to increase overall yields and improve bud production. Both techniques help the plant reach its peak by adjusting the canopy so more light and air reach the lowest levels of the plant. The Durban Poison Auto strain requires an 18-hour light cycle to reach the vegetative stage of growth. Because of its autoflowering capabilities, this strain does not need a change in light cycle to induce the flowering stage of growth.

Yields, Flowering Time, and Harvest

• Flowering Time: Growing indoors, you can expect the Durban Poison Auto strain to harvest after a short flowering period of 55–65 days.
• Yields: Indoor yields are around 300 grams per square metre, while outdoor grows typically produce up to 400 grams per plant. You will need to provide ample lateral space for these plants to grow because of how bushy they get during the flowering period.
• Harvest: Outdoor growers across Canada can plan on harvesting their yields around the middle of October, depending on when the seeds were planted.

Durban Poison Auto: Earthy and Spicy

The Durban Poison Auto cannabis strain's terpene profile is directly responsible for how the plant smells and tastes, and the strong effects it has on its users. The most dominant terpene in this strain is caryophyllene, while ocimene, humulene, limonene, and myrcene are the secondary terpenes.

• Caryophyllene: Most Dominant - Spicy and peppery, caryophyllene is mostly found in cloves, black pepper, and cannabis plants.
• Ocimene: Secondary Terpene - Found in cannabis plants, basil, mint, parsley, and mangoes, this terpene is aromatic and sweet.
• Humulene: Earthy Flavour and Aroma - Found in beer with a high hop content, humulene produces an earthy aroma and taste in cannabis.
• Limonene: Citrus Vibes - Commonly found in the rinds of citrus fruits like lemons, this terpene can help with anxiety and improve lung function.
• Myrcene: Mother of All Terpenes - Myrcene is responsible for some cannabis strains' earthy and woody flavour and aroma.
