Purple #1 Dutch Passion – Legendary Purple Hybrid with Fast 8-Week Flowering

Purple #1 by Dutch Passion is a legendary 50/50 indica-sativa hybrid that delivers stunning purple buds, a swift 8-week flowering cycle, and robust performance in outdoor or greenhouse environments.

Does your grow schedule feel like a race against time and the elements? You want that classic purple bud, but most strains either take forever to finish or can’t handle a little rain.

That pressure leads to rushed harvests, mediocre yields, or worse—losing your whole crop to mold just before it’s ready. You end up settling for green buds or skipping the purple dream altogether.

Purple #1 is your solution. Bred in the Netherlands for its climate, it’s a tough, fast-finishing hybrid that reliably develops its famous purple hues and delivers a solid harvest by September, even in less-than-perfect conditions.

How Purple #1 saves you time and effort

This strain was built for efficiency. Its short 8-week flowering period means you’re not babysitting your plants for months on end. Outdoors, it’s ready for harvest in September at Dutch latitudes, giving you a head start on the season.

Its naturally open, airy bud structure is a game-changer. This architecture allows air to circulate freely, drastically reducing your risk of bud rot and powdery mildew—a huge time-saver on constant inspections and fungicide sprays. You can focus on enjoying the grow, not fighting it.

Simple steps to grow your Purple #1 without wasting a minute

From seed to harvest, Purple #1 keeps things straightforward for a smooth, low-stress experience.

1. Germinate your seed and transplant it directly into its final pot or outdoor spot.
2. Provide a light feeding schedule; this strain thrives on simplicity and organic soil.
3. Use basic Low Stress Training (LST) early on if you want to manage height or boost yields.
4. Keep an eye on the calendar—be ready to harvest in as little as 8 weeks after flipping to flower.
5. After harvest, give your drying space a quick clean, and your setup is ready for the next cycle.

Tips to integrate it into your habits without friction

For the ultimate low-fuss grow, plant your Purple #1 directly in the ground or a large pot filled with a quality organic mix like a Top Soil Starter Pack. It loves to be left alone to do its thing. Store your seeds in a cool, dark place until your spring soil warms up. The best time to use this strain is for an early outdoor harvest, giving you a head start on your stash before the main season even begins.

Personal Experience of Pevgrow’s CEO (Alan)

When my schedule is packed, Purple #1 is my go-to for a no-nonsense outdoor grow. I plant it in a large pot with some Nutrihemp and honestly, I barely touch it until harvest time in September. The key detail I love is its open bud structure—it’s saved my crop more than once during a wet fall. My tip for busy folks: don’t overthink the feeding. A simple organic tea mid-flower is all it needs to produce those gorgeous, sticky purple colas that are its signature. It’s the perfect strain to set and forget, with a fantastic payoff.
