Durban Poison Origin and Genetics
The Durban Poison strain as we know it originated during the late seventies from a selection of 100 seeds imported from South Africa. The earliest maturing plants out of the batch were chosen to continue the line. Durban Poison seeds have been sold by countless seed banks to this day. In recent years, the strain has been on a comeback thanks to the Cookie Fam hybrids—Girl Scout Cookies, Platinum Cookies, and Sunset Sherbet, to name a few.
