Dutch Passion are one of the world’s oldest cannabis seedbanks and one of the few remaining original seed companies. We offer our customers a variety of original classic marijuana varieties as well as some of the very best new varieties, many of these are available in regular as well as feminized seeds. We began our work in the 1970’s and were formally established as a seedbank in 1987.
Our success has been built on 3 important principles.
Firstly we collect and breed the best cannabis genetics to allow the self-sufficient cannabis grower the chance to grow the very best quality marijuana for themselves.
Secondly, we continue to pioneer innovation. We invented feminized seed in the 1990’s and more recently we have set the highest standards with feminized autoflowering (‘AutoFem’) seeds. Dutch Passion has never been afraid to overturn conventional thinking in order to offer better seeds.
Thirdly, we offer our customers the best levels of customer service. We have remained in business over several decades by providing seeds of the highest quality and reliability and have millions of satisfied customers. If for any reason at all you are not satisfied with our seeds then contact us and we will make things right.
Our seed collection has never been stronger than it is today. We remain the first choice seed supplier to many recreational and medical marijuana growers because of our focus on quality seeds and our safe trustworthy customer service.
Dutch Passion Values.
Ever since the beginning we have realised that great customer service is nothing without the best quality seeds. Our many years in business has allowed us to build an unrivalled network of the best cannabis breeders and marijuana professionals. Every one of our varieties is carefully selected and produced to the highest possible standards. Many of our varieties have won numerous prizes and are regarded as some of the best varieties ever created. Strains such as our original White Widow, Blueberry, Skunk #11, Power Plant and Mazar have become famous varieties and household names. Many of the new seedbanks base their own varieties on Dutch Passion original genetics.
Our legendary varieties are still as popular now as they were in the 1980’s and 1990’s, many of them are available in regular seeds as well as feminized. Everything we do is focussed on providing our customers with consistent and high-performance cannabis seeds, and we stock around 50 different varieties.
If we find a top quality new variety we will introduce this into our collection, sometimes at the expense of a less popular existing variety. This way we maintain a competitive selection of top performing best selling genetics. Any new variety has to be really good to make it into our catalogue, and such is our confidence in our new varieties that they are grown in live internet grow diaries by customers before they go on public sale. Very few seedbanks offer this level of openness towards their new varieties, we hope it demonstrates the belief we have in our ability to deliver the very best genetics, the finest quality and the most consistent seed performance levels available.
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.
