517 Durban Poison

Cannabis Strain by Pure Michigan Genetics

Introduction
517 Durban Poison from Pure Michigan Genetics combines Lansing area code with legendary South African landrace genetics—creating Michigan-adapted version of pure sativa variety. Pure Michigan Genetics operates focusing on CBD phenotype selection and strong genetics suitable for Great Lakes cultivation. Durban Poison represents one of few commercially available pure sativa landraces maintaining original characteristics through selective breeding.

Lineage
Durban Poison originates from Durban, South Africa—port city where genetics were collected during 1970s, stabilized for Western cultivation by Ed Rosenthal and others. The variety features distinctive anise-licorice terpene profiles, energizing effects, manageable flowering times (60-70 days) unusual for pure sativas typically requiring 12+ weeks. Michigan adaptation suggests phenotype selection for regional climate.

Terpenes
Terpene profiles emphasize terpinolene (anise-herbal-floral), pinene (sharp pine, mental clarity), caryophyllene (spicy) creating distinctive aromatics contrasting with fuel or fruit-dominant genetics.

Growth
Cultivation requires height management despite reasonable flowering (67 days for Michigan selection). Pure sativa structure displays stretch, airy flowers compared to dense indica buds.

Effects
Effects from Durban Poison deliver energizing cerebral territory—mental stimulation, creative enhancement, functional daytime use without sedation.

Documentation
