Dutch Passion (Dutch Passion Seeds / DP)

About Dutch Passion

Dutch Passion is one of the oldest and most technically innovative seed banks in the world. Founded in 1987, they made history in 1998 by inventing feminized cannabis seeds — a development that revolutionized the entire industry. Their catalogue includes legendary classics like Mazar, Blueberry, Orange Bud, and a cutting-edge modern collection of high-cannabinoid varieties.

History

Dutch Passion was founded in 1987 by Dutch biologist Henk van Dalen in Amsterdam. The company's early focus was on carefully preserving and stabilizing classic Dutch and exotic genetics. In 1998, Dutch Passion made history by releasing the world's first commercially available feminized cannabis seeds — a development that fundamentally changed the cannabis seed industry forever. The feminization technique (using colloidal silver or gibberellic acid to force female plants to produce pollen) eliminated the need for male plants entirely, transforming home growing. Today Dutch Passion remains a revered institution, known for both their historical classics and an ongoing commitment to developing new high-performance varieties.
