Dutch Passion

Heritage and innovation

Dutch Passion is one of the oldest and most respected seed banks in the world. Founded in Amsterdam in 1987 by Henk van Dalen, it is built on a genetic collection assembled as early as the 1970s. The company quickly earned a reputation for pioneering solutions: in 1997 it introduced the world’s first commercially available feminized seeds, and in the early 2000s—working with Joint Doctor—released the first stable autoflowering varieties. Dutch Passion is also an innovator in medical CBD strains (first CBD seeds in 2010) and in varieties containing THCV and CBG, which reached the market in 2020.

Successes and range

• 90+ trophies – their strains have won more than ninety awards at international competitions, confirming top quality.
• 78 premium genetics – the catalog includes both old classics like Blueberry, Orange Bud, and White Widow, as well as modern hybrids (e.g., Meringue, Strawberry Cough).

• Quality certified – seeds are thoroughly tested for germination, terpene content, and genetic stability.

Strain characteristics

Dutch Passion seeds are valued for stability, heavy resin production, and a wide variety of flavor profiles:

• Blueberry – a classic 1970s indica offering a sweet berry taste and a deeply relaxing high. Perfect for evening downtime.
• Orange Bud – one of the first skunk-dominant strains; known for a citrus aroma and an energetic, cheerful effect.
• Mazar – a powerful indica from Afghanistan; produces thick, resinous colas; awarded for its extreme THC levels.
• AutoMazar and AutoUltimate – autoflowering strains with substantial yields and a full terpene profile; ready to harvest in 10–11 weeks from seed.

Growing tips

Dutch Passion provides seeds suitable for everyone—from beginners to professionals. For best results:

• Lighting – photoperiod strains respond best to 18/6 in veg and 12/12 in bloom; autos prefer 20/4 throughout the entire cycle.
• Temperature and humidity – most strains like 20–26 °C; humidity should be lowered to 40–50% during flowering to avoid mold.
• Training – many bushy plants (e.g., Mazar, Blueberry) respond отлично to LST; SOG and ScrOG increase yield and improve even light distribution.
• Medium – a light soil mix with added perlite or aeroponics/hydroponics will ensure vigorous growth.
