Old School Durban

Oldschool Durban - Fleur du Mal

In the late 1970s, Ed Rosenthal selectively bred several plants from a bag of South African seeds that he brought back to the USA. Rosenthal then passed on some prime specimens to fellow breeder Mel Frank, who subsequently refined the genetics. Frank's efforts resulted in ‘A’ and ‘B’ lines of the original seed; the B line was passed on to the famous Amsterdam breeder Sam the Skunkman. Sam further shortened the flowering time of the strain and created the famous Durban Poison...

Decades later, Frank released a small amount of self-fertilised female seeds of the A-line. Fleur du Mal used selected females from this line and crossed them with two selected males, giving the resulting offspring a beautiful orange flavour and strong disease resistance. The result is the best of old school Durban, offering the classic aniseed and orange notes, strong mould and pest resistance and great results.

Fleur du Mal has been supplying and breeding excellent quality cannabis seeds for indoor and outdoor growers since the year 2001. All genetics are based on classic sativa and indica strains that have been on the market since the earliest days of cannabis breeding. This work has been greatly enhanced by long friendships with some of the best cannabis breeders over the past twenty years, who generously shared their knowledge and genetics with Baudelaire, the longtime breeder and regular curator of Fleur du Mal. FDM offers heirloom and original marijuana varieties in seed form, including Cinderella 88, Sweet Tooth # 4 or Durban-Thai Highflyer C99 - all cannabis varieties with the best scents and the best quality that can be found on the seed market.
