Nirvana
Don’t be frightened away by this strain’s ominous name. Urban
Poison is a new indoor version of the famous Durban Poison
from South Africa. The famed Durban Poison is mostly sativa
landrace. In this strain, Nirvana has crossed Durban Poison
with Northern Lights and then backcrossed the hybrid with the
parent Durban Poison again. The result is a mostly sativa
variety that retains the juniper flavor and trippy high of its
South African parent.
The Urban Poison structure and potency is that of modern
indoor production strains: uniform, stable, and compact. The
leaves are medium to thin with light green tones and lots of
leaflets. As it grows, Urban Poison takes on the characteristic
Christmas-tree shape. The sativa dominance is offset by a
significant blend of indica, making it a fairly robust plant that is
easy to grow and accommodating of temperature fluctuations
within reason. These plants do well in soil, and given the
minimal branching, they conform well to a sea of green setup.
Organics are recommended to bring out the depth of flavors.
While this variety is well adapted to indoor gardens, it is a fine
choice for outdoor gardens. When planted in May, it finishes by
the end of October. Outdoor plants will gain ⅔ of their final
height during the flowering phase, with maximum sizes of 9
feet (3 meters).
The Urban Poison buds are rather tight, long, and spongy.
The smell is strong but has accents that distinguish it from the
average strain. The fresh pine and juniper smells remind one of
the smells in the forest, walking under a canopy of high cedar
trees where pine needles blanket the ground.
Once cured, Urban Poison buds crumble nicely and burn
evenly. The up effect creeps into consciousness and then
through the body, with a long lifespan to the high. This is an
urban brain safari. It has a cheerful alert quality that is great
for energetic activities such as dancing, playing soccer or
Frisbee, or cleaning anything. Many people will find something
special in the deep woodsy aroma and flavor that has just a
touch of haze.
