Description
White Durban: Pungent and Dank
White Durban owes its flavor, effects, strength, and aroma to its famous parent strains, White Fire OG and Durban Poison. This lineage gives White Durban a scent of citrus and diesel fuel, combined with a flavor similar to sugary spice.
With a solid THC content of 24%, White Durban is known far and wide for its happy and uplifting effects on the user. The initial cerebral rush of energy and focus lasts for hours and is perfect for parties and indulging in creative pursuits. The body buzz is on the lighter side compared to the mental euphoria that users will feel mentally.
Growing Tips for White Durban Seeds
White Durban plants grow to a medium height, reaching a maximum indoor size of around 4 feet and a taller outdoor height of around 6 feet. Like most cannabis strains, it performs best in a closely-controlled environment with Mediterranean climates and lots of sunlight, real or artificial, but because it can endure minor dips and spikes concerning heat and moisture, it serves as a solid choice for experienced growers. Below, we’ve provided effective ways to simplify and streamline the growing process.
Establish consistent conditions
Daytime temperatures of approximately 70-85 degrees Fahrenheit or approximately 21-29 degrees Celsius are ideal for White Durban plants. It is recommended that you drop the temperature during the flowering stage to encourage resin production. Dropping the temperatures between 5-15 degrees at night will mimic natural sunlight and nighttime temperatures indoors. Humidity levels should be around 40-50% during the vegetative stage, and around 30-40% during the flowering phase. A reduction in moisture can help to reduce mold and mildew and encourage a more potent terpene profile.
Recommended Training Techniques
Low-stress Training, Screen of Green (ScrOG), Topping, and Sea of Green (SOG) methods are the best techniques for the particular strain. These techniques will allow the plant to grow naturally without much outside influence. Screen of Green is a method that introduces nets and trellices to the plant so the heavier buds don’t weigh down and break the branches. This technique takes time but is definitely worth the extra effort. Topping is crucial with this specific strain to shape the plant’s size as well as trim the highest buds to allow sunlight and air flow to reach the lower levels. Topping the plant will also allow you to alter the plant’s shape and control the bushiness and height of the plant. Sea of Green or SOG is an indoor cultivation technique that maximizes yield and space efficiency.
Fine-tune nutrient levels
All cannabis plants benefit from nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium (NPK). During vegetative growth, White Durban prefers a well-balanced nutrient cycle throughout the growth, as it promotes leaf and stem production. However, because nitrogen encourages leaf growth, it’s important to reduce levels during the flowering stage. This will allow your plants to channel their efforts towards resin-rich bud development instead. To lower nitrogen levels, try using a bloom formula or simply dilute your existing feed.
Germinating Your White Durban Seeds
Our straightforward germination guide is an easy-to-understand way for growers of all skill levels to start the growing process. If you have basic items on hand, such as paper towels and water, you can germinate your White Durban seeds like a pro.
Our step-by-step process allows taproots to emerge within 3–7 days, following which your seeds can be transferred to nutrient-rich soil, a hydroponic setup, or another growing medium of your choice. As an added benefit, growers who use our technique can cultivate with confidence, knowing their seeds are fully protected by our germination guarantee.
Yields, Flowering Times, and Harvest
The White Durban cannabis strain has a flowering period of approximately 70-80 days, with outdoor harvests typically occurring around the end of October or beginning of November. Indoor growers will produce up to 400 grams of trichome-rich buds under proper care, while outdoor growers may see yields of up to 400 grams per plant, so long as environmental conditions remain stable.
Dominant Terpenes in White Durban
White Durban’s sweet diesel and citrus aroma and smooth, zesty, and spicy flavors are, in part, due to dominant terpenes terpinolene, pinene, limonene, myrcene, and caryophyllene. Terpinolene provides cannabis plants with an herbal and pine-like aroma. Pinene is commonly found in pine needles and conifer trees and contributes a pine-like flavor and aroma in cannabis plants. Limonene is routinely found in the rinds of citrus fruits as well as cannabis plants. It gives off a sweet citrus scent and flavor. Myrcene is a common terpene found in cannabis plants, and it provides an earthy and musky aroma with sedative and relaxing effects on the user. Caryophyllene is known as a spicy terpene that tastes and smells of pepper. It is mostly found in black pepper in nature.
Dominant Cannabinoids in White Durban
White Durban’s THC content of 24% contributes to the highly psychoactive effects of the strain. Because White Durban is mostly Sativa, the effects are mostly cerebral. There is an initially uplifting and mentally stimulating feeling that gives way to focus and creativity, the deeper into the buzz users find themselves. In higher doses, the user will feel more of the physical effects, including a tingle in the extremities and, ultimately, a sleepy feeling towards the end of the buzz. This makes the strain an appropriate choice for not only daytime consumption but also evenings and nighttime smoke sessions. Really, you can’t go wrong using this strain any time of day, as it has the ability to make one more social and want to get out of the house and entertain the more creative and active parts of a person’s brain. Because it isn’t physically calming, it is ideal for adventures and physical activities like sports, hiking, and working out.
