  1. I’ve grown Durban for about 5 years now. It’s been easy to grow, even with my meager grow room setup. SOG is best with this strain. She gets pretty tall, with heavy buds. It will work in tight spaces with constant monitoring, pruning and air. Lovely effects. Definitely the definition of the God Plant.

    • Hi Booksis,

      • I’ve been interested in growing Lamb’s Bread. I tried with inferior seeds from another company, without luck. I’m going to keep learning and try again. I love the landrace strains.

  2. First time grow of Durban and yes so far ticking all boxes had 5 non starters out of 20 but the girls that popped have certainly progressed to full potential I started late in Southern Hemisphere season but beautiful buds formed the yield will be small this harvest but next season will be getting them in early September
    I bought feminised Durban from ILGM and I must say there continued online support has been great Thanks Robert for all the emails and links to information
    I grow for medical purposes for my husband as although Australia has started legal medical cannabis the script for 40 ml oil is $160 and for flower it’s 120 for 5grams which the flower is prescribed at 0.1 gr per day and is not realistic dose the only real option is to grow your own so people like ILGM are really doing a community service

  10. I grew your Durban Poison, and it grew beautiful & potent. I had no problems in any way. It truly is perfect for the beginner because it repels pests, and does not need much TLC. I never go out on a limb metaphorically, so take my advice if you are a novice grower.

  12. On my second grow. First grow went well until flowering then I think I over fed them and tried to alter ph and upset them. Still got a good yield and partner said was the best he had ever smoked. Now at start of flowering stage again and plants look very healthy. Out of 7, 4 are quite tall already even though topped, 3 are smaller, not sure if this means anything. Not sure re feeding as compost has food in it. Would welcome advice re this.
