Genetics and Origin

The Carmen x Durban Poison strain is a result of a carefully cultivated cross between two legendary sativas.

It typically exhibits tall plants with narrow leaves and requires slightly extended flowering periods, which are typical for sativa-dominant hybrids.

Cultivation and Germination

Growing Carmen x Durban Poison feminized seeds requires attention to detail, particularly during the germination process. To ensure a healthy start, it’s essential to follow proper germination techniques. Begin by moistening two paper towels with room temperature water and placing the seeds on one towel, spaced about 2 cm apart. Cover with another towel and place in a warm, dark location.

Monitor the setup regularly, ensuring the paper towels remain moist. Germination usually occurs within 24 to 120 hours. Once the tap roots emerge, plant them with the roots facing down into soil and keep the area consistently moist. Maintain a temperature of 69.8 ºF – 78.8 ºF (21 ºC – 26 ºC) and use purified water with a pH level between 5.5 and 6.5.

Avoid exposing the seeds to light for more than one minute before and during germination. To qualify for the three-month germination guarantee, follow all outlined steps and document the process through photography or video.

Carmen x Durban Poison has a flowering time of 8 to 10 weeks, making it a rewarding choice for growers seeking high-quality buds with excellent flavor and potency. Its sativa characteristics ensure a balanced, uplifting experience that appeals to both seasoned users and newcomers alike.
