THSeeds wouldn’t cross any plant with their favorite: the S.A.G.E. But then again, Sour Diesel is no ordinary plant. With its well balanced flavour and infamous strength and smell the S.A.G.E has finally met its match. Now you can reap the benefits of this must have combo!
Sensi Star
First prizewinner in the Highlife Cup 1999 (Bio Indoors) and first prizewinner in the Hightimes Cannabis Cup 1999! She produces powerful, compact buds, crowned with legendary amounts of resin. The dense, strong and characteristic aroma speaks for itself. She is one of the world’s finest cannabis strains, and has successfully become the new standard in growing.
Genetics: One of the strongest Indicas that you will ever encounter
Flowering time: 55 – 60 days
Yield per m2 (indoors): 350 – 400 grams
Yield per plant (outdoors): 300 – 400 grams
Harvest time (outdoors): Early October (at 50? North latitude)
Growing tips: Sensi Star doesn’t like high levels of nutrients.
Shark Shock
This is definitely the most successful breed of the late 90’s (since its inauguration by Shantibaba as Great White Shark).It has equally famous genetic heritage and has been awarded a multitude of cannabis cups under the names of the Peacemaker and the Great White Shark. It’s parents are well known as White Widow (a Brazilian sativa combined with a south Indian hybrid) and Skunk#1. It is a pleasure to watch this plant grow into a densely compacted white skunk with extreme aromas and equally pleasurable to use. Strictly tested, but only on humans. We never use our products on animals.Indoors, expect a 50-56 day flowering cycle and a yield of between 500-600 grams per square meter. Outdoors in the northern hemisphere, harvest in September to early October; and in the southern hemisphere, March to early April.
Sheherazade
Due to her family heritage, Sheherazade has got the depth from the valleys of Hindu Kush, as well as the soaring highs from the Far East. The greatest of all traits of this sultry princess is her heavy musk-like sweetness. Now available for you to enjoy, a thousand-and-one-night-long lasting warm caress of breathtaking up high!
Genetics: Her mother is a true Afghan queen, her father a strong handsome king, mostly Sativa.
Flowering time: 56 – 60 days
Yield per m2 (indoors) : 350 – 450 grams
Yield per plant (outdoors): 300 to 400 grams
Harvest time (outdoors): Middle of October (at 50? North latitude)
Growing tips: She performs like a queen when you give her devotion, space and enough light. Outdoors, 7 hours a day of direct sunlight is recommended.
Sheherazade FEMINISED
Silver Pearl
Flowering: 45-50 days
Height: 100-125cm
Yield: Up to 100 gr.
Finishing Date In Greenhouse: Mid-October
Yield In Greenhouse: Up to 500 gr.
*Winner Indica/Sativa Hybrid at the Cannabis Cup 2001.
Excellent indoor and greenhouse results. Plants exhibit the frosted, resinous characteristics of the Northern Lights #5®, the sweetness and calyx-to-leaf ratio of Early Pearl® and Skunk®. One of Sensi Seeds’ favourites and the winner of the mixed Indica/Sativa category at the Cannabis Cup.
Sweet Purple
A very strong, rather tall plant with hues of purple and pink, that tastes like strawberries. She grows well indoors, and is also perfectly adapted to colder regions such as Holland for outdoor growing. Her early flowering means you can harvest fat colas before the “bad” weather starts.
Genetics: She is selected from Purple plants, crossed with an early, large yielding Dutch variety and then, to sweeten her, crossed with a high quality plant with huge amounts of resin.
Flowering time: 56 – 60 days
Yield per m2 (indoors): 350 – 400 grams
Yield per plant (outdoors): up to 500 grams
Harvest time (outdoors): Late September, early October (at 50? North latitude)
Growing tips: When grown indoors, induce flowering early, after 1 week to 10 days vegetative state.
Super Haze
1st price “High Times Cup” 1992
This variety made Dutch Passion the “High Times Cannabis Cup” winner in 1992. Formerly this strain was called “Haze/Skunk”. Still one of the best for the Dutch Passion team. Originally Haze is a pure Sativa strain. It is crossed with Skunk#1 to get a bigger yield and a shorter flowering period. Truly superior sweet Haze aroma. The high is incredibly clear and “up energy”. A very favorite strain from our collection. Very high yield for an almost 100% Sativa variety.
THC: 11.9%
flowering period:9 – 10 weeksharvest time outdoor:1st week of Nov.
SILVER HAZE
The first Haze is vintage masterpiece of cannabis breeding – a harmonious blend of complementary equatorial genotypes that’s widely regarded as the purest and most powerful Sativa ever created. Sensi’s award-winning Silver Haze distils the sunny cerebral magic of her towering parent into a manageable strain with great indoor potential
Haze started out as a multiple-Sativa hybrid with roots in Central America, South India and Thailand. Developed in the days before indoor growing and cultivated below 30°N, her breeders were not restricted by factors like height, yield or short summers. As indoor growing gained popularity in the Eighties, true Haze began to disappear. Though smokers still adored the soaring high, growers found her slow flowering, low yields and unstoppable height-gain impractical for indoor production.
Silver Haze was the first seed strain to offer a solution by delivering the full-strength Haze experience in a fatter, faster, more compact form. Together with NL#5xHaze (her taller sister), Silver Haze helped reverse the decline of the psychedelic Sativa. As soon as such frosted, pleasingly dense tropical crops could be produced efficiently with lights, ganja lovers all across the globe were able to sample that supreme high and the Haze cult rapidly spread far beyond its original circle of devotees.
The original Haze has had both its outrageous height gain and interminable flowering period brought under control by breeding with an extra-potent, non-dominant individual from the Northern Lights line. The dark Afghanica also throws its weight behind the feathery Sativa budding pattern, adding bulk without affecting flower formation.Silver Haze should still be expected to triple her vegetated height in flowering, so seedlings and clones may be flowered almost immediately in close-cultivation methods like SOG.
Silver Haze buds are composed of long, silky pistils sprouting from oval calyxes which surge along the stem and branches to fill the gaps between internodes. Afghani influence is seen in the strain’s thick layers of silver resin glands and the way her calyxes swell, adding density in the final weeks of flowering.
SHIVA SHANTI
At the start of the Nineties, two large collections of breeding plants merged and the Seed Bank became the Sensi Seed Bank – one of the most important cannabis gene-banks in existence. To celebrate, Sensi Seeds released several new strains designed to be accessible to every weed-lover – easy to grow, very affordable and always expressing Sensi’s high standards of quality and potency.
Shiva Shanti was the first of these special ganja strains – a beautiful plant named after the equally beautiful twin daughters of Ben Dronkers. This hybrid is bred from an old-school Afghani known as Garlic Bud, whose classic qualities have been reinforced by crossing with another ‘heritage’ Kush variety; she receives a further boost to her vigour and power through a recessive Skunk influence.
Shiva Shanti covers all the bases; she’s large, vibrant and uniform, producing little odour when blooming. As a strain, she’s very dependable in flowering and matures quickly, producing a heavy yield of long, solid, spear-shaped buds. Shiva Shanti inherits the power and characteristic aroma of her famous parent – the sharp, acidic tang of raw garlic, now coexisting with a rich, honeyed scent from the Skunk ancestor. Shiva Shanti’s effect is deep, stress-free and a fine enhancer of physical sensations.
SKUNK #1
The strain that changed the face of cannabis culture across the world continues to amaze weed-lovers more than a quarter-century after her release! The original Skunk hybrids fused traditional cultivars from Central and South America, Afghanistan and Thailand. Through generations of intensive selection and back-crossing, the very best examples of Skunk were stabilised into the first true-breeding Indica-Sativa hybrid – the classic Indica-dominant Skunk #1.
The potency of this branch of the cannabis family tree is so notorious that ‘skunk’ is often used as a name for any powerful ganja. Breeders regard Skunk #1 as the benchmark of uniform, reliable performance and her rock-solid genotype has influenced a hundred modern hybrids. Skunk#1’s energetic performance and bountiful yields demonstrate the true meaning of hybrid vigour. Growth and flowering are mostly-Indica in appearance, with Skunk #1 gaining a little more height than a pure Indica when blooming. The extra-dark green of this strain’s leaves comes from her Afghanica ancestors and contrasts sharply with her lime-green growing tips.
Flowering is very fast and Skunk #1 produces robust stems and branches to support her superior yields. Short internode gaps explode into dense, rounded flower clusters which merge into huge, heavy terminal buds by the end of the blooming phase. Fan leaves can show many shades of colour at the end of flowering, as plants focus their energy on bud formation and resin production
Sativa heritage is most apparent in Skunk #1’s beautiful calyxes, long, profuse pistils and her habit of expanding bud-growth in all directions as harvest time approaches. Sativa also has a wonderful influence on Skunk #1’s potency and effect – a stunning combination of stone and high.
