Top 5 high-yielding feminised seed varieties for outdoors in 2025
With literally hundreds of thousands of successful outdoor customer grows completed with Dutch Passion strains, the team know exactly which are the heaviest yielding outdoor cannabis seed varieties. Whether you are growing in northern UK or somewhere with a longer, milder growing season these strains are all proven performers with the best feedback of all the Dutch Passion outdoor strains.
Think Fast, recessive auto genetics allow harvest a month early
Think Fast uses recessive autoflower genetics to help her reach harvest around a month earlier than traditional outdoor feminised seed varieties.
If you grow in a borderline climate or worry about late season autumn/fall weather, then Think Fast should be your top outdoor feminised seed choice.
She grows well as far north as Northern UK/Southern Scandinavia. THC levels can reach 20% in good conditions with very heavy yields of sativa-dominant buds which have fresh sweet notes of citrus, diesel, herbs, pine and earth.
Outdoors she can reach 3m/10ft tall with very heavy yields. Typically ready to harvest in late August/early Sept in the northern hemisphere (late Feb, early March in southern hemisphere). Ideally suited to growers that struggle with variable late-season weather.
Frisian Dew, the seasoned outdoor champ
Frisian Dew is a cannabis cup winner, famed for her impressive outdoor growth, huge hybrid plants and epic XXL yields. She grows well even as far north as Northern England and has impressive mould resistance.
Plants can reach 3m /10ft tall with ease and are often just as wide. Individual plants have recorded dry harvests of several Kilograms (4-6lbs+). She is a perfect choice for those growing in less-than-ideal climates and produces a fresh, fruity and floral aroma.
Typically ready for harvest around late September or early October in the northern hemisphere. In the southern hemisphere she is ready in late March/early April.
Passion #1, fully proven 1980’s high THC Californian Indica genetics
Passion #1 is one of Dutch Passion’s most potent ‘green’ outdoor varieties with THC levels around and sometimes above 20%. She isn’t quite as cold-climate friendly as Frisian Dew and therefore tends not to be recommended to growers with cooler, grey climates.
But with moderate warmth and some sun you can expect premium quality buds and huge plants. The plants can grow to large proportions, easily 3m/10ft tall with XXL harvests of notably high-quality buds with a spicy, tart citrus aroma of lemon & lime.
Like the other outdoor strains mentioned, she also excels in a greenhouse or polytunnel. An exceptional outdoor cannabis seed variety with high-end potency and massive multi-Kg yield potential.
Durban Poison, legendary original South African strain with superb outdoor resilience
Durban Poison is an original corner-stone strain, fully proven, established for decades and used extensively by other breeders. Most notably in the numerous sought-after modern Cookie lines. Durban Poison is a reliable high-THC (around 20%) outdoor strain with solid weather resilience.
She grows with little-to-no maintenance requirements. Just ensure quality, moist nutritious earth and watch these remarkable genetics deliver the herbal goods in their time-honoured fashion.
Durban Poison is one of Dutch Passion’s original old-school classics. Tough and dependable with predictably potent results crop after crop!
Pamir Gold, selectively bred in the Swiss Alps - superb outdoor performer
If you’re looking for a specialist outdoor-bred feminised seed variety with exceptional resilience and XL yields then Pamir Gold is the strain for you!
She is a Western Himalayan Hybrid produced after several years of selective outdoor mountain breeding in the Swiss Alps during the Dutch Passion 1980’s high-altitude breeding project.
She is one of only two Dutch Passion strains certified for growing at altitudes several thousand feet (2000m+) above sea level and can cope with occasional freezing temperatures in late bloom (the other is Snow Bud).
These are remarkably resilient and highly recommended genetics to those seeking the toughest outdoor cannabis seeds that can still deliver XL yields - whether they are growing at sea level or high up in the mountains & high plains.
She has strong resistance to mould/bud rot and handles poor weather with ease. Essential qualities for those growing in temperate climates. The sweet, sour & earthy hybrid buds are particularly effective for soothing stress with a great anti-anxiety effect.

Bonus Pick: Black Lebanon from the Super Sativa Seed Club
Black Lebanon is a first-rate bonus recommendation to those that love rich, old-school hashy flavours and aromas with their outdoor weed.
She comes from Dutch Passion’s sister seed company the Super Sativa Seed Club, an original 1980’s Dutch Seedbank with their own extensive genetic archives.
Black Lebanon is an original 1980’s Hash Plant, made by crossing Lebanon #2 with Lebanon #5. She is a powerful indica with tasty buds that have the flavour of berries alongside fruit & earthy notes on a powerfully flavoured hash background. Deeply pleasurable lay-down indica effects come as standard, with heavy outdoor yields.
Outdoors she is ready to harvest in early/mid-October in the northern hemisphere (early/mid April in southern hemisphere). So she does best in a climate with reasonable outdoor grow conditions in early autumn/fall.
Extra tips and recommendations for a successful outdoor harvest
Selecting the toughest outdoor strains that will yield well in your conditions is only part of the challenge. The other is to provide a sunny outdoor grow location with good quality, nutrient-rich earth. You have the choice of rooting your plants directly into the ground or planting them in containers. Container-grown plants have the advantage of transportability in the event of extreme heat/storms. But may require more frequent feeding and supplemental watering in hot weather.

Local soil can be improved with new grow-shop soil and/or amended with additives - bat guano, fish/blood/bone meal, dolomite earth (Calcium/Magnesium rich mineral), well-rotted manure, compost etc to improve your final harvest quality/quantity.
Many outdoor growers germinate their cannabis seeds indoors under 20/24-hour light for a few weeks before planting their seedlings outdoors once the weather has warmed up sufficiently.
This allows your plants protection from the elements, slugs, snails & predators while they are young and at their most vulnerable. Indoor germination & initial growth also allows your plants a head-start and a few more weeks of valuable development under optimum conditions. This could eventually lead to larger plants and heavier final yields.
Many outdoor growers & guerrilla growers routinely plant a few autoflower seeds outdoors alongside their traditional photoperiod feminised strains. This offers the grower some autoflower buds to harvest in mid-summer.
