Dutch Passion | Marijuana seed banks
Today, we take a deep dive into the history of Dutch Passion marijuana seed bank, one of the most famous and representative banks in the history of cannabis. Founded in 1987 in the Netherlands, Dutch Passion has stood out for its innovation and quality, being a pioneer in the development of feminized seeds. This revolutionary breakthrough allowed growers to obtain almost exclusively female plants, thus optimizing the cultivation process and increasing efficiency and productivity.
Dutch Passion, the first to feminize
This bank has been developing, improving, producing, and selling cannabis seeds since 1987 and is one of the leading Dutch specialized companies. However, the real beginning dates back to 1972, when the founder of Dutch Passion, Mr. Henk van Dalen, started growing marijuana in Holland for his own needs. Over these decades, Henk and his team have accumulated a wealth of experience in developing, producing, and marketing top-quality cannabis seeds.
The first feminized seeds
In 1998, Dutch Passion achieved a crucial milestone in cannabis seed technology by being the first to create “feminized” cannabis seeds. Under the right growing conditions, these feminized seeds produce only female plants in 99% of cases.
Dutch Passion is one of the first Dutch seed producers and certainly also one of the most important. Thanks to years of experience, Dutch Passion supplies Cannabis seeds of a guaranteed high quality all over the world. Currently, the genetics department is headed by Mahmoud Hanachi.
To produce their feminized seeds, they start from selected clones. Under normal conditions, these clones do not produce any male flowers. With their methods, they make these female clones produce abundant male flowers and pollen. They use the pollen thus obtained for the production of their feminized seeds.
Henk van Dalen is a man about whom there is not much published information, he avoids the limelight and hardly ever gives interviews. He is said to be a great businessman, breeder and geneticist.
The key to Dutch Passion, Blueberry
It is said that Dutch Passion is the only seed bank that preserves the royal blue genetics, the original Blueberry. Undoubtedly, it is the key genetics in this bank, although there are others of great value, this one stands out above all others, being one of the most famous varieties of marijuana in history, mother of all blue marijuana plants on the planet, which is no small feat.
This variety has swept for many years in the competitions of the most sybarite tasters of the world, being a rather old genetics still passes over many of the current crosses that proclaim to be the best. We highlight two of the most prestigious awards of Blueberry:
- 1st Prize in the High Times Cannabis Cup 2000
- 3rd Prize in the High Times Cannabis Cup 2001
Blueberry is an Indica of the highest quality that has gone down in history. It produces large amounts of resin bathed in its blue leaves, which makes it one of the most attractive varieties. A totally exclusive variety, only within reach of those chosen.
More information about Dutch Passion
The Dutch Passion bank has been able to stay on the crest of the wave during all these decades, being today one of the best producers of cannabis seeds in the world.
In recent years, the researchers of this institution have focused on research with terpenes and new cannabinoids, such as THCV or CBG.
Dutch passion tells us on its website the secret of its success, which is based on 3 principles:
- They do a research and selection work to plant the best cannabis genetics, then stabilize them and offer them to the amateur so that he can have a marijuana of the highest quality.
- They promote innovation. Remember that they invented feminized seeds and, more recently, improved the quality standards for autoflowering seeds.
- They offer the highest levels of customer service. With decades of experience in providing seeds of excellent quality and reliability, they enjoy millions of satisfied customers.
Regulares y feminizadas
About the creation of feminized seeds, there are many rumors and much secrecy. Most seed banks do not disclose the techniques used to create feminized seeds. It is widely known that most feminized seeds are produced by stressing female plants and treating them with gibberellic acid so they produce some male flowers and can pollinate themselves or other female plants. However, there are many different feminization techniques, and each expert has their favorite method. It should also be noted that some strains may respond better to certain techniques than others.
What is clear today is that the market for feminized seeds has greatly expanded, surpassing that of regular seeds. Few enthusiasts hesitate between accepting new scientific advances or continuing to seek the most natural and pure options. While the assurance of obtaining feminized plants means using seeds from more stressed and treated plants, which can sometimes lead to less stability, the majority of feminized plants offer reliable stability. This presents a modern dichotomy: choose the easy, safe, and convenient option with feminized seeds, or stay true to your principles by using regular seeds, which may require more effort.
In response to this dichotomy, Dutch Passion offers its best varieties in regular format, preserving the most original and natural traits for those who prefer traditional methods.
