ECSD x Durban
ECSD x Durban
Also known as: East Coast Sour Diesel x Durban
Overview
ECSD x Durban is a first-generation hybrid (F1) cannabis strain developed by Ganja Rebel Seeds, crossing the legendary East Coast Sour Diesel with the South African landrace strain Durban. This indica/sativa hybrid represents a sophisticated blend of genetics that combines the potent, diesel-fueled characteristics of ECSD with the energetic, pure sativa qualities of Durban Poison. The cross was created to produce a strain with enhanced vigor and genetic diversity, resulting in significant phenotypic variation.
The strain exhibits considerable diversity in its expression, with over 50% of phenotypes displaying Durban-dominated traits characterized by fluffier buds, sweet aromas, and longer flowering times of 11+ weeks. However, the most prized phenotypes are those leaning toward the ECSD genetics, which produce denser, chunkier buds that are exceptionally resinous and aromatic, capable of being detected from considerable distances. These ECSD-dominant phenotypes finish faster at approximately 10 weeks and are noted for their superior resin production and potency. The breeder recommends seeking out and preserving these ECSD-leaning phenotypes through cloning.

Growing Information
ECSD x Durban can be cultivated indoors, outdoors, and in greenhouse environments with moderate difficulty. The flowering time ranges from 10.5 to 12 weeks, with outdoor harvest typically occurring between October 15th-25th. The strain exhibits significant phenotypic variation and vigorous growth characteristics. Growers should expect plenty of variation in plant structure, with Durban-dominant phenotypes showing more stretch and sativa-like growth patterns, while ECSD-leaning phenotypes produce denser, more compact buds with exceptional resin production. Plants require standard cannabis cultivation practices but may benefit from training techniques to manage varying growth patterns. Only available in regular (non-feminized) seeds from Ganja Rebel Seeds.
