Purple Dutch
Also known as: Purple Dutch Passion
What is the Purple Dutch strain?
Purple Dutch is a indica cannabis strain with up to 22.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and earthy flavor profile.
Purple Dutch is an indica-dominant cannabis strain developed by Dutch Passion, one of the Netherlands' oldest and most respected seed banks. The strain was created by crossing a classic Afghani indica with a purple phenotype of Skunk #1, resulting in a plant that combines robust genetics with distinctive visual characteristics. Its development represents the Dutch breeding tradition of creating stable, reliable strains with consistent performance.
The strain is characterized by its striking purple coloration, which develops in the flowers and sometimes the leaves during the cooler nighttime temperatures of the flowering phase. The buds are typically dense and resinous, with orange pistils contrasting against the deep purple calyxes. The purple pigmentation comes from anthocyanins, natural compounds that also contribute to the strain's complex flavor profile.
Purple Dutch is known for its relatively short flowering time and manageable growth pattern, making it suitable for both novice and experienced cultivators. The strain maintains the classic indica structure with broad leaves and compact internodal spacing, though it can exhibit some sativa-like stretching during the flowering transition. Its combination of visual appeal, reliable effects, and cultivation ease has made it a popular choice among home growers and commercial producers alike.

How do you grow Purple Dutch?
Purple Dutch is considered a moderately easy strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The flowering time is approximately 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests typically ready in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain performs well both indoors and outdoors, though it prefers a Mediterranean climate when grown outside. Plant height is typically medium, reaching 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. To enhance the purple coloration, growers can expose plants to cooler nighttime temperatures (around 10-15°C/50-59°F) during the final 2-3 weeks of flowering. The plants respond well to training techniques like topping and LST (low-stress training) to maximize yields.
