Grown in the Hudson Valley from a single origin in living, organic soil for a potent high dictated by nature's brilliance and place. One handful of sun-fed living soil contains as many microorganisms as there are people on Earth. Harnessing the complexity of these biological relationships isn't just better for the planet. It creates a more complex product. We grow our cannabis in living soil because we prefer a more flavorful high that doesn't put chemicals and inorganic fertilizers into our bodies.
Farmed in living soil with the full power of the Sun and according to the cycles of the Moon, to tap into the best of you. The bodies of humans and plants are affected by the cycles of the Moon, Sun, and Earth, which is why we use these planets as guides in our farming practices and pay attention to their cycles when consuming cannabis.
We proudly grow a diverse range of unique genetics made possible through our extensive work with legacy seed vaults. By growing in organic living soil, we're able to produce incredibly complex and diverse Cannabinoid and Terpene profiles within the genetics we offer.
Our farm is nurtured by legacy farmers with a long family history in cannabis. We are proudly women-led and employee-owned. It is the mission of Melany and Freya, as the women leaders and Co-Founders of Hudson Cannabis, to restore the Earth and its people through the medicinal benefits of the cannabis plant. Our mission to restore people's relationship with Earth led their family to transition the company to employee ownership.
Durban Poison has deep roots in the Sativa landrace gene pool. The strain’s historic phenotypes were first noticed in the late 1970s by one of America’s first International strain hunters, Ed Rosenthal. According to cultivation legend, Rosenthal was in South Africa in search of new genetics and ran across a fast flowering strain in the port city of Durban. After arriving home in the U.S., Rosenthal conducted his own selective breeding process on his recently imported seeds, then begin sharing. Rosenthal gave Mel Frank some of his new South African seeds, and the rest was cannabis history.
Frank, who wrote the “Marijuana Grower’s Guide Deluxe" in 1978, modified the gene pool to increase resin content and decrease the flowering time. In search of a short-season varietal that could hit full maturation on the U.S. East Coast, Frank’s crossbreeding efforts resulted in two distinct phenotypes, the “A” line and “B” line. The plant from Frank’s “A” line became today’s Durban Poison, while the “B” line was handed off to Amsterdam breeder David Watson, also known as “Sam the Skunkman.”
Durban Poison has a dense, compact bud structure that’s typical of landrace Indica varieties, but the flowers’ elongated and conical shape is more characteristic of a Sativa.
