Orange Bud is one of the original Dutch Skunk varieties — a true Cannabis Cup winner discovered during an extensive Skunk selection grow-out in the early 1980s, when Dutch breeders were searching for the fruitiest expression of the family that wouldn't compromise either yield or quality. She quickly became a coffeeshop favourite across the Netherlands for reliably strong smoke paired with a distinct citrus-Skunk taste that set her apart from other Skunk variants of the era. Along with Power Plant and White Widow, Orange Bud is one of the three original cornerstone strains still appearing on coffeeshop menus across the country — a genuine heritage line that has been proven over several decades by thousands of growers and remains one of Dutch Passion's best-sellers. The name comes from the distinctive orange-green bud structure, set off by fiery orange hairs, and the aromas of ripe oranges and nectarines that the terpene profile expresses cleanly from late flower through cure. Available in feminised, autoflowering, and regular seed formats. One cultivation note up front: a small percentage of plants can develop male flowers under severe stress, and growers should check plants thoroughly during flowering to catch any male development before open pollination can compromise the rest of the garden.

Fast Buds' Amnesia Haze Auto is a huge-yielding Haze-dominant hybrid ready to chop in just 70 days — a plant that grows vigorously and flowers expressing its full-blooded Sativa heritage, better suited for growers with experience and plenty of growing space. Potency can hit up to 22% THC. Strongly recommended for growers in hot climates growing outdoors where this autoflowering hybrid will really take off in height and produce enormous yields, and equally suitable for indoor growers looking for big productive plants.

Papaya Cookies Auto is a Fast Buds World Champion strain and one of the Best New Strains of 2024 at the Autoflower World Cup. Born from Papaya (Oni Seeds) × Cookies Auto F5, this F5 sativa-dominant hybrid is a flavor-rich resin machine bred for extractors, flavor chasers, and growers who want fast premium results with minimal effort.

Power Flower traces back to the 1990s, when a group of Dutch growers visiting South Africa noticed tall, vigorous native sativas growing in the wild. They brought seeds home to the Netherlands and began breeding for potency and yield, eventually landing on what became Power Plant - one of the defining commercial sativa strains of 1990s Amsterdam. Power Flower is the RQS evolution of that project, a more refined, more potent descendant of the original South African genetic base.

Shaman is a Sativa-dominant outdoor classic from Dutch Passion, built from a cross between an exceptional quality male Purple #1 and a Skunk female — a reliable, potent F1 hybrid that has been in the Dutch Passion catalog for several decades and still attracts new growers each season. Originally developed as a regular seed strain, Shaman is also available as feminised seeds, giving growers a choice of format. The original breeding program crossed an early Skunk with a colorful Purple variety, and the work was perfected when a very robust and easy-to-grow outdoor plant emerged from the selection. Sativa dominance defines the experience — the Sativa side handles growth structure, effect, and most of the aromatic character, with the small Indica proportion contributing to density and compactness where needed. Users describe the aroma as fresh, sweet, spicy, and floral, sometimes with sour notes and a pine undertone across different phenotypes. The taste is mainly sweet and spicy, with some phenotypes leaning more acidic and others expressing a piney, woody character. Green phenotypes usually taste slightly sweeter than the purple phenotype, which is worth noting for growers selecting cuts. Because of the diversity of phenotypes within the line, there's genuinely something for every palate — and for growers who run multiple plants from a single pack, pheno-hunting can reveal genuinely distinct expressions of the strain. The most striking visual trait is the purple coloration: about 50% of plants develop pink/purple tones in the flowers, ranging from light pink through rich violet to almost-black dark purple depending on phenotype and temperature. On certain phenotypes even the flower hairs go pink or purple instead of the usual orange or brown, which produces some of the most photogenic outdoor cannabis flower in the Dutch Passion lineup.

Royal Queen Seeds' take on the Super Silver Haze lineage — Haze x Skunk x Northern Lights — a cross whose story really begins in the 1970s, when a pair of American brothers started collecting and breeding sativas from Colombia, Mexico, Thailand, and South India. After thousands of seeds and years of work they isolated the clean, soaring cerebral effect that came to define the entire Haze family. When those genetics eventually reached Amsterdam alongside the now-classic Skunk lines, two Dutch breeders set out to solve Haze's main problem: the flowering time was too long to be commercial. Crossing Haze with Skunk and Northern Lights gave them Super Silver Haze, the first Haze variety with indica-scale flowering and Cannabis Cup pedigree. Shining Silver Haze is RQS's version of that line, a two-time winner of the Highlife Cannabis Cup in the Bio Haze category and a well-respected sativa among growers who want Haze character without the commitment of a four-month bloom.

Strawberry Lemonade is Barney's Farm's cross of Strawberry with Lemon OG — a 60% Sativa / 40% Indica hybrid that produces one of the cleanest fruit-forward flavor profiles in the catalog at 24% THC. The Strawberry side contributes the berry-sweet character; Lemon OG brings the sharp citrus signature and OG Kush structural backbone. The combination produces an aromatic profile described as sweet, lemon, earthy, strawberry, and fruity hash — a layered signature that stands out in the Sativa-dominant category — and the palate delivers strawberry, lemonade, lemon, skunky, and sweet notes that reflect the name exactly. The effect is creative, calming, uplifted, happy, focused, and energetic — one of the most balanced daytime-session profiles in the Barney's catalog.

Sweet Cheese is Sweet Seeds' fusion of Cheese with Black Jack — combining two of the strongest hitters in the catalog to produce a hybrid that highlights the virtues of both ancestors. The cross brings a new twist of aromas to Black Jack's flavor foundation, producing long central buds surrounded by plenty of peripheral buds maintaining long structure and good caliber.

Tangerine Dream is Barney's Farm's triple-cross combining G13, Afghan, and Neville's A5 Haze genetics — a 60% Sativa / 40% Indica hybrid built around a complex three-way lineage that produces an extremely citrus-forward aromatic and flavor profile. The Afghan Indica contribution adds density and yield stability; the Neville's A5 Haze brings the classic Dutch Haze cerebral lift; and the G13 genetics reinforce the hybrid vigor. The result is a strain with intense citrus aroma (orange, berries, sweet on the nose) that carries through to a richly layered palate — orange, berry, citrus, sugary, tropical — producing a finished smoke that tastes exactly like the name promises. THC runs 23%, which is strong without being overwhelming, and the effect profile is body-relaxing, cerebral, euphoric, and hunger-inducing in classic Sativa-leaning hybrid fashion.

Utopia Haze is Barney's Farm's heritage Sativa — a 90% Sativa / 10% Indica cross built from Brazilian landrace genetics that produces one of the purest Sativa-dominant expressions in the catalog. THC averages 22%, which is strong for a Sativa-heavy landrace-derived strain, and the Brazilian landrace foundation gives the finished smoke depth and character that modern quick-cross Sativas can't replicate. The aromatic profile is fruity, woody, pungent, and earthy — a complex landrace signature that holds up through cure — and the palate combines fruity, spicy, mint, and citrus notes in layered complexity. The effect profile reflects the near-pure Sativa character: cerebral lift, hazy relaxation, and an eventual sleepy transition at higher doses. This is unusual for a 90% Sativa — most strains this Sativa-dominant produce pure up-energy without the Indica-style sleep transition, but the Brazilian landrace heritage adds a relaxing undertone that eventually lands users toward rest rather than wired energy.

Wedding Cheesecake FF (Fast Flowering) is Fast Buds' delight for mind and body — a delicious strain offering XXL yields in a 7-8 week flowering cycle. This terpene powerhouse produces loads of mouth-watering vanilla-creamy-cookie-scented terpenes with hints of citrus and cinnamon. The variety grows very well both indoors and outdoors, yielding up to 650 g/m² without extra maintenance — the ideal strain for beginners as it allows maximum yields with minimum work. This super-fast feminized photoperiod version offers upbeat and energetic yet deeply relaxing effects perfect for consumers looking for heavily focused, motivating, and creative high. With up to 25% THC, she's ideal for those needing an extra energy boost to start a busy day on the right foot.

Fast Buds' Z-Up Auto is a sativa-leaning autoflower born from the fusion of the RS-11 cut and Auto Z F5, bringing an entirely new citrus-forward terpene profile to the table. The F5 edition is bright, loud, and full of energy, designed for daytime use, flavor hunters, and fans of all things fizzy and uplifting.

Ztrawberriez Auto is a Fast Buds next-generation polyhybrid bred from Strawberry Pie Auto, Z Auto, and Tropicana Cookies Auto — delivering up to 25% potency, yields of 600 g/m², and award-winning flavor in just 9-10 weeks. Winner of Best Sativa at the American Autoflower Cup 2024, she's a flavor-chaser's dream with a complex blend of fruity terpenes, rock-solid buds, and a perfectly balanced hybrid effect.

Auto Cinderella Jack is Dutch Passion's answer to the question of whether an autoflower can genuinely outperform photoperiod varieties on pure potency — and the answer is a decisive yes. With a THC percentage of nearly 26% verified by two separate laboratories using the HPLC method, this is the most potent autoflower in the Dutch Passion collection and arguably the strongest autoflower in the world at launch. The strain took 2nd prize at the Copa Esmeralda in Colombia in 2018, confirming what the lab analysis already showed. The genetic lineage is (Cinderella 99 x Jack Herer) x Magnum Genetics: two legendary photoperiod parents known individually for potency, flavor, and yield, crossed with the Magnum autoflower line from Buddha Seeds (which guarantees above-average harvests and contributes the auto genetics). The project started as a Cinderella 99 x Jack Herer hybrid, with Magnum auto genetics added to convert the line to autoflower. The result comes from many generations of selective breeding focused mainly on one characteristic: THC percentage. Only careful breeding by a skilled master breeder made this level of potency achievable in autoflower format, and the breeding program used professional laboratory analysis at every stage to ensure the high-THC genetics remained stable across generations and across individual plants. The terpene profile is dominated by alpha-pinene (pine), beta-myrcene (floral, earthy, fruity), beta-caryophyllene (spicy and woody), and limonene (citrus, fresh and fruity). Combined these produce a strong pine-like, spicy, and fruity aroma with some phenotypes expressing more fruit and freshness than others. The buds are super white, loaded with trichomes, and deliver a wonderfully tasty high that hits hard and lasts long — a unique combination of cannabinoid power and terpene complexity that separates her from generic high-THC strains.

Auto Ultimate is one of the best-yielding autoflowers in the world and, arguably, the highest-yielding autoflower in the Dutch Passion collection — a robust, vigorous plant that combines exceptional growth energy with generous harvest potential and a high-quality cerebral high. The genetics come from Dutch Passion's original photoperiod parent The Ultimate, which became a bestseller shortly after launch for combining extremely high yields with strong long-lasting effect. Auto Ultimate was created by crossing The Ultimate with the classic bestseller Auto Mazar, and the result inherited the extreme yield potential of its photoperiod parent in autoflower format. This strain has produced single-plant harvests of up to 1 kg of dry bud in expert setups, which is genuinely rare for any autoflower. The aroma mirrors the photoperiod Ultimate — dominant citrus and lime scent with sweet earthy notes developing during flowering, and after drying and curing the citrus becomes even more pronounced with strong lemon and musky character. Flavor-wise she compares to classic Lemon Haze and Lemon Skunk but with her own signature — some smokers pick up a coffee flavor on the exhale. The buds are monstrously big, most at least the size of a golf ball and completely covered in trichomes, carrying an old-school aroma reminiscent of Amsterdam coffee shop culture. Auto Ultimate is a popular strain among concentrate makers because large plants produce many sticky flowers that work equally well for cannabis oil, rosin, shatter, wax, or butter — the sheer biomass plus the terpene density makes her particularly effective as an extract base.

Big Bud Feminized is the strain Sensi built around a single dominant specification: maximum yield per square metre. An 85% indica, 15% sativa hybrid, she's prized around the world for bumper harvests — one of the main reasons the strain is a popular commercial option. The original Big Bud dates back to the 1980s US, but the War on Drugs drove breeders to bring the strain to the Netherlands, where Sensi added Skunk #1 and Northern Lights into the genetic makeup to produce the modern Big Bud: robust, skunky, and capable of impressive harvests. She took a Cannabis Cup in the Indica category shortly after entering the market. Deliciously sweet, fruity aroma with notes that users often compare to molasses, huge resin-coated buds, and a potent relaxing stone. Also available as Big Bud Regular and Big Bud Automatic for growers with different format requirements.

Black Jack is one of Sweet Seeds most powerful and productive strains, resulting from crossing Black Domina'98 with an exceptional Jack Herer.

Blueberry Bubblegum Automatic was developed by crossbreeding Gelato #420 with Sunset Sherbet to create an 80% indica, 20% sativa autoflowering cultivar. During flowering she expresses vibrant shades of green and purple, and the indica-dominant expressions result in compact plant structure with a short flowering period. The strain can be grown indoors in tents or outdoors in temperate and continental climates, which is a broader climate tolerance than many autoflowers offer. Plants produce a soothing full-body buzz paired with explosive flavor, and the low-profile growth pattern suits growers with space constraints or discretion requirements. Mario Guzman, who works under the name Sherbinski, is credited with breeding both Gelato and Sunset Sherbet — Gelato has become the backbone for many of the currently popular US-market strains, and that lineage runs directly through this autoflower.

RQS's take on the Bubblegum family, built on a Power Plant x Santa Maria cross. The Bubblegum lineage started in Indiana in the early 1990s, with phenotypes refined in New England before the Dutch cut perfected by TH Seeds put the whole line on the international map. That Dutch pedigree earned the family a 2005 High Times Cannabis Cup and a Spannabis Cannabis Champion's Cup the same year, and the candy-sweet terpene profile has kept the variety in rotation ever since. RQS's XL version pairs that Bubblegum heritage with a Power Plant backbone for a plant with the signature nose but a sturdier, more commercial structure than the original Indiana cut.

Candy Kush Express is RQS's fast-flowering answer to the long-standing "I want a Kush but not a three-month cycle" request. Genetically she is Sweet Special x Royal Kush. Sweet Special brings the candy notes — that lineage traces back through Grapefruit, Hog, and Cream Caramel, three strains that each put citrus-sweet profiles on the map in their own era. Royal Kush contributes the backbone, descending directly from the legendary Afghani Kush and carrying the indica density, resin production, and sedative potential that come with that side of the family. What makes this cross unusual is the split: 40% sativa, 60% indica is about as close to balanced as the Kush family gets, where most crosses tip hard toward knock-out indica territory. The result is a plant that tastes like candy, grows like a compact indica, and hits like a much more balanced hybrid than the name would lead you to expect.
