Hi all,
I'm a new grower with three grows under my belt. I thought I'd share a little smoke report of these two classic strains. Both strains are complete opposites of each other, one being almost pure Indica and the other pure sativa. These are both "low or lower odor" strains. (I'm stuck hiding my grow and need flowers that don't smell like Pepe Le Pew !)

I am totally in love with this strain! Although the THC maxes out at under 20% you sure could have fooled me. This stuff knocks me on my ass from a small bowl or a few small bong hits. The high is very enjoyable, tingly, and very relaxing, almost too much so. After smoking Northern Lights, I am on the couch. The smell is so nice, very pine and lemony smelling, a classic weed aroma.
Negatives? This is NOT a strain to get anything done! I've made the mistake of waking and baking Northern Lights and I wound up going back to bed! I would call this a night-time strain that matches perfectly watching Bob Ross paint. (ASMR and Northern Lights pair nicely---tingly heaven.)
One last thing about NL. The buds vary Wildy in potency, the tops will knock your socks off but the lower buds can be a little weak. It's harder to get your doseage right.
Durban Poison
Wow, this is so completely different from my Northern lights. I didn't think the difference was that great until I put two classics side by side. No question, Durban is like a shot of espresso and like Northern Lights, the potency seems to be much stronger than the THC listed by the breeder (around 18%). After taking a few bong hits, I find that I start doing things like cleaning the bathroom sink until its spotless. I have to remind myself to enjoy the high and clean the bathroom later, if that makes any sense. The smell is delicious, similar to Northern lights (pine and lemon) but it has a very nice taste smoking, something like anise.
Negatives?
Well, if I over do the Sativa, my mind is racing, heart beat increases and cottonmouth comes on strong (maybe cotton mouth is more of a sativa thing? I'm not a Sativa guy, so I take it easy with Durban Poison.
All and all I would grow both of these strains again, and having both on hand covers a lot of ground.. One for night and one for day!
