In the late 1970s, American breeder Ed Rosenthal selectively bred several plants from a bag of South African seeds that he brought back to the U.S. Rosenthal then passed some prime specimens on to fellow breeder Mel Frank, who fine-tuned the genetics to optimize resin content and flowering time. Frank’s efforts resulted in “A” and “B” lines of the original seed stock; the B line was given to Amsterdam breeder Sam the Skunkman, who further reduced the strain’s flowering time.\nDecades later Frank released a small lot of self-fertilized female seeds of the A line. We used two selected females of this line and crossed them to two selected males, a 90-day maturing version of Durban Poison preserved from the '80s by Heime Cheeba's Alaska Cannabis Cache, and a selected 75-day outdoor Double Durban from 20Twenty Mendocino that adds a nice orange taste and strong disease resistance to the resulting progeny.\n\nThe result, we hope you will agree, is the best of old school Durban, with it's pure sativa head in a short-maturation variety with classic anise and orange notes, strong mold and pest resistance, and heavy yield for a short-stature plant. Expect a 65-75 day maturation indoors, and late October outdoors in most temperate climates.
