Dutch Passion cannabis seeds belong to a very popular annual cannabis strain in South Africa. The resulting plant is a robust and stable Sativa-dominant perennial. This means that the plant will flower and mature in a year rather than a couple of years. The high percentage of Sativa in the plant make it ideal for indoor growing. Potency and yield improve with regular watering, which is made even easier with the included reservoir.
The flowers of Dutch Passion cannabis seeds are large and glossy, with the petals measuring up to three inches in diameter. The dark blue colouration on the leaves gives them the common name. The buds are followed by a white-cream coloured ‘surface’ covering the entire bud. The flowers appear to open in a rather strange way, with the opening often being covered in a whitish powder. This leads to some confusion as to how this flower closes.
Many users believe that the term ‘power plant weeds’ refers to the plant itself, but it is actually an unintended reference to the hybrid seeds which are used in making this super-bud. The most popular strains in use in south Africa are indica sativa, calcarea fluorite and geranium sativum. Geranium sativum is rarely used, although some small plots have been developed. These have yielded some good harvests however, and are consequently more expensive than calcarea fluorite. In southern Africa, many people grow large amounts of this weed which they use for various cooking and fibre making methods.
The resin glands found in the seeds make them extremely aromatic, especially when harvested. This highly potent oil is often used in Africa to make tobacco products, but it has many other potential uses. The buds can be dried to make fuel additive, but this requires sophisticated equipment and is only used indoors. They are also sometimes used to make perfume, although this is not advisable indoors as there is always the risk of the concentrated oil leaking out into the air. The aroma from the plant is therefore somewhat non-existent, although some small experimental sprays of the oil from the indoors have been reported.
Power plant cannabis varieties are usually crossed with indica or calcarea profunda to make a more potent hybrid. The resulting buds then grow into plants with very short leaves and very high quality oils which are then marketed for sale. Although much less potent than their sativa crossed relatives, the oils produced are still very aromatic. It is not unusual for customers to pay up to $50 for a pound of dried buds. The high cost is compensated by the fact that they are a superior strain to many indoor grown buds which are grown in greenhouses.
A number of South African entrepreneurs have begun growing cannabis seeds for sale online. Many companies have emerged offering the buds, at very high margins. However, due to strict export laws it is important that these companies comply with local legislation regarding production and possession of the plant. Each country has its own laws governing the production and possession of the cannabis seeds and cannot sell to countries outside their borders.
There is an increasing demand from North America for South African feminized cannabis seeds. Many companies are now offering a large selection of hybrid varieties which are highly desirable. Many people grow the plant for the resin it produces, but many growers and dealers also produce it for the original three reasons: for the exotic flowers it produces, for the high-quality cannabis it produces, and for the outstanding flavor it has. All three of these factors are why South African cannabis is so popular worldwide. In addition to the high-quality cannabis, which is known as “hash,” the unique look of the plant is also very desirable among many consumers.
The popularity of the South African sativa plant continues to grow in popularity across the world. Some countries such as the United Kingdom and the United States have made it illegal to import the plant through any means, such as through a travel agent or by having a bud pass through the mail. However, in South Africa it is perfectly legal to grow, harvest, and consume the cannabis plant. Due to this popularity many people have started to grow their own supply, including restaurants and private households. The demand for South African Feminized cannabis seeds continues to steadily increase throughout the world.
