Introducing Durban Express Autoflower. This is a culmination of a year and a half long project of mine to bring some of my favorites to the autoflowering world, a combination of Durban Poison photo flowering & Trainwreck photo flowering, combined with a couple of my early autoflowering projects. Trainwreck was the first that I pollinated with an autoflowering plant. The trainwreck was a very bushy, very stony flower, if you are a stoner from the late 90’s you remember what I am talking about. The auto I paired with it was also very bushy and had a similar terp profile: piney, earthy, with a hint of citrus. Later I grew the Durban and this plant was amazing but very wild. She was hard to contain in my tent. But the one distinction that I noticed from the mother was the incredible fruity smell that emanated from her. She smelled almost like cotton candy and limes! It was the best smelling plant I’ve ever encountered. The auto I chose for her was a lower profile auto with huge dense colas, with the intention of controlling her size a little bit.

After a brief break from autoflowers and flowering some of my photo plants that were waiting to be attended to, I started sprouting some of these photo and auto seeds I had floating around. The parents that I decided on were two incredibly bushy, midsize plants. The mother (the Durban cross) smelled very sweet, not that cotton candy smell from before, but very sweet with a very skunky undertone. The male was about 4 foot tall and almost as wide with no training ever done to it, a perfect bush. You could smell a very musky sent coming from the stem rub and its trunk was gigantic for the size of the plant. From these parents I got my first-generation Durban Express Autos, but just a few. Everything else was still being dominated from the photo gene. I tossed all of those and just focused on those first autos I found.

Through a selection process, I again selected the bushiest plants for breeding. Which is where we stand now, Durban Express Auto F2. These plants are true F2’s. Similar to the Durban from the beginning, they are wild in their own way. There are tall, medium, and short phenos, sativa leaning and indica leaning phenos; all have been amazing. One thing that I have noticed to be consistent is dense thick buds. All these girls will produce for you. The highs will vary, but all are very potent. From reports by a few of the testers, the rosin when pressed is very potent and you get a decent return. She will not disappoint you!
