White Durban

White Durban or Sativa-dominant Hybrid (approx. 80% Sativa / 20% Indica) is a strain that typically contains THC levels between 19% – 28% (Highly variable by batch) and CBD levels ranging from <1% (Low). Known for its Diesel, Earthy, Sweet Citrus, and Woody profile, this strain has a growth expectation of being Tall (Indoor: 5–6.5 ft in height, with a nutrient demand that is High; requires Nitrogen-rich veg and heavy PK in late flower.

This Sativa-dominant Hybrid (approx. 80% Sativa / 20% Indica) is of the Genetype: White Fire OG x Durban Poison. The White Durban strain has 3 phases of the growing cycle.

The first phase is the Seedling Phase. Once you have decided to grow White Durban in either soil or hydroponiclay, the ph levels need to be monitored. The ph level desired by Sativa-dominant Hybrid (approx. 80% Sativa / 20% Indica) is 6.0 – 7.0 and 5.5 – 6.5 hydroponically. During this infancy stage, White Durban needs to maintain a target temperature of 72°F – 82°F (22°C – 28°C) for 2 to 3 weeks. Once the seed germinates, it will sprout it's first set of round leaves, or the cotyledons. If you are able to maintain the target humidity of 60% – 70% RH, the iconic serrated leaves will just begin to show themselves. During this critical Phase 1 of the Sativa-dominant Hybrid (approx. 80% Sativa / 20% Indica) growing cycle the plant is establishing a strong root sytem. Beginners often over water these fragile seedlings. Do not drown your seeds. You seedling White Durban needs care and gentle light. The recommended light cycle for growing White Durban is 18/6 or 20/4 Cycle for the first cycle, which should last .

The next is the Vegetative Phase. The White Durban will focus entirely on size and structural integity. The temperature needs also change for phase 2. If a target temperature of 70°F – 80°F (21°C – 26°C) is maintained and a target humidity of 45% – 55% RH is achieved, the Sativa-dominant Hybrid (approx. 80% Sativa / 20% Indica) will grow stems, branches and plenty of large fan leaves. This White Fire OG x Durban Poison is trying to build it's own solar panel of leaves to absorb energy. It is critical to maintain a proper light cycle of 12/12 Cycle for the entire phase 2 schedule. This consistent energy will help plant grow bigger without producing flowers, focusing it's energy on growing tall and strong. White Durban is at it's most resilient and may grow quickly. As phase 2 comes to an end, it may be topped or tied down, as it's training suitability is considered Very High (Requires Topping, FIMing, or SCROG to manage height).

The most exciting phase, when growing White Fire OG x Durban Poison is the Flowering Phase. The plants adulthood lasts . It is at this phase that the light cycle changes for the last time. White Durban will produce the most flowers when the light cycle is 12/12 Cycle. Keep the temperature and humity controlled at 65°F – 75°F (18°C – 24°C) and 35% – 45% RH so you can really watch this plant strecth and almost double in height. It will want to start producing early into the flowering process.

You will know the White Durban is ready when the white hairs (pistils) turn amber/brown and the resin glands (trichomes) look milky or cloudy, rather than clear. Cutting the plant down even a week too early can significantly reduce the potency and weight of your harvest. Patience in the flowering phase will provide the best possible outomce of Sativa-dominant Hybrid (approx. 80% Sativa / 20% Indica) with a desired gorwth profile that will be:
Vigorous vertical growth; slender Sativa leaves; dense, "white" trichome coating

Growers Notes: Hobby Grower’s Notes
The "Cheetah" Growth: True to its Durban Poison roots, this strain grows with extreme speed. Hobbyists in tents must start training early. Topping is almost mandatory to prevent the plants from growing into your lights.

Terpene Preservation: Because the dominant terpene is Terpinolene, the scent is complex—lilac, nutmeg, and citrus fuel. To keep these volatile oils from evaporating, ensure your Phase 3 temperatures stay strictly below 75°F.

Feeding Sensitivity: While it has a high nutrient demand, it can be sensitive to "salt build-up" in the soil. Frequent water-only flushes (every 3rd or 4th watering) help maintain the root zone and prevent the Sativa-lean leaves from clawing.

Harvest Window: Unlike some pure Sativas that take 12+ weeks, the White Fire OG influence shortens the flowering time to roughly 9–11 weeks (72–82 days). Watch the trichomes closely starting at day 60.
