Passion #1 Feminized Seeds – Dutch Passion’s Legendary Outdoor Indica Hybrid

Passion #1 Feminized Seeds by Dutch Passion deliver a legendary outdoor cannabis experience: a robust, high-yielding Indica-dominant hybrid that finishes early, resists mold, and produces resinous buds with a zesty citrus punch and up to 20% THC.

Ever felt overwhelmed by conflicting advice about outdoor strains—some say they’re finicky, others promise monster yields but deliver leafy disappointment? You’re not alone. The world of outdoor cannabis is full of myths that lead growers to pick the wrong genetics, mismanage their plants, or give up too soon thinking “it just doesn’t work.”

Passion #1 cuts through the noise. This isn’t hype—it’s a proven, decades-old Dutch classic that actually delivers what it promises: epic size, serious potency, and harvests by early September in the Northern Hemisphere. This description is your honest guide to what Passion #1 really does (and doesn’t do), so you can grow with confidence.

Common Myths About Outdoor Cannabis Strains

• Myth: All outdoor strains take forever to finish. Reality: Passion #1 is bred for speed, often ready by early September.
• Myth: Big plants mean weak potency. Reality: Passion #1 packs up to 20% THC with dense, trichome-covered buds.
• Myth: Outdoor plants always smell overwhelming. Reality: Its citrus-herbal aroma is strong but not overpowering—great for discretion.
• Myth: You need perfect weather to grow outdoors. Reality: Passion #1 is resilient to rain and cooler temps, ideal for temperate zones.
• Myth: High yield means low quality. Reality: It delivers both—750g+ per plant with complex flavor and a balanced high.

What Passion #1 Really Does (and What It Doesn’t)

Passion #1 excels as a dedicated outdoor or greenhouse strain. It brings explosive vertical growth, long resinous colas, and a fast flowering phase (6–8 weeks) that lets you harvest before autumn rains. It improves your outdoor success rate in challenging climates thanks to its open structure and resistance to botrytis.

However, it’s not a stealth strain—it can reach over 3 meters tall. And it’s not suited for indoor grows under strong lights; its genetics are fine-tuned for sun-grown cultivation. Don’t expect compact, bushy plants without training; its natural tendency is to stretch skyward.

Advantages and Benefits When Grown Properly

• Harvest by early September in the Northern Hemisphere—beating mold season.
• Yields up to 750g (26.46 oz) or more per plant in optimal conditions.
• Resists rain, cool temps, and common outdoor fungi like botrytis.
• Delivers a potent, uplifting high with long-lasting effects (THC ~20%).
• Offers a refreshing citrus-lime flavor with herbal, earthy undertones.
• Requires no fancy nutrients—thrives in rich organic soil with minimal intervention.
• Perfect for guerrilla grows or backyard gardens in temperate to Mediterranean climates.

Tips to Choose Well Based on Your Goals

If you’re in a rainy or short-season climate, Passion #1’s early finish and mold resistance make it a top pick. If you want maximum yield with minimal fuss, its vigor and low nutrient demands are ideal. But if you need a discreet, short plant, consider training or choose a different strain.

• If you expect early harvest, pay attention to its 6–8 week flowering window.
• If you want high yield in poor weather, rely on its robust outdoor genetics.
• If you prefer citrus flavor with potency, Passion #1’s terpene profile delivers.
• If you lack space, plan to top or use SCROG to control height.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Passion #1 suitable for indoor growing?

No—it’s specifically bred for outdoor or greenhouse cultivation. Indoors, it will stretch excessively and is hard to manage under artificial lights.

How early can I harvest Passion #1?

In the Northern Hemisphere, the fastest phenotypes are ready by early September. Most finish by late September.

Does it really resist mold in rainy climates?

Yes. Its open bud structure and thin leaves reduce moisture retention, making it more resistant than dense Indicas.

What’s the difference between Passion #1 and other Dutch Outdoor strains?

Passion #1 is one of the original classics—faster, taller, and higher-yielding than many. It’s a benchmark for outdoor performance.

Personal Experience of Pevgrow’s CEO (Alan)

I’ve heard every myth about outdoor strains—“they’re weak,” “they take forever,” “they’re just leaf.” Passion #1 shuts all that down. I’ve grown it in northern Spain, where late-summer rains are common, and it consistently delivered dense, sticky colas by mid-September while other strains rotted. The smell? Fresh lemon zest with a hint of rosemary—not the skunky cloud that alerts the whole block. Yes, it gets tall (I’ve seen 4m monsters), but that’s why I always top it twice and use a trellis. The high is surprisingly clear-headed for such a high-THC plant—energetic, social, perfect for afternoon sessions. If you want a no-nonsense, high-reward outdoor workhorse that’s stood the test of 40+ years, this is it. Just don’t try to grow it in your closet.
