If you’re looking for some recommendations for high-quality regular cannabis seeds then this list of Dutch Passion top-10 best sellers from 2023 may offer some useful inspiration. Although regular seeds account for just 2-3% of seed purchases these days, many old-school growers and smaller breeders rely on them. With 20+ strains available in regular seeds, Dutch Passion retain one of the largest regular seed collections of any major seedbank.
Best-selling regular cannabis seeds
Regular cannabis seeds give rise to roughly equal numbers of male and female plants. For some traditional growers there is nothing quite as natural as growing regular seeds. For professional (and amateur) cannabis breeders, growing from regular seeds is often felt to be the best way to identify elite male/female plants for onward breeding.
Here is the list of Dutch Passion top-10 best-selling cannabis seeds from 2023. They are a mix of classic indoor (and outdoor) strains including a few legendary names from the 1980’s. Many are also available in feminised seeds or autoflower seeds.
White Widow, legendary all-white buds & powerful high
Dutch Passion’s original F1 White Widow seeds are fully proven and particularly easy & consistent to grow in any grow medium or grow system. The indica dominant genetics are multiple cannabis cup winners, coming from the crossing of Brazilian and Indian parent strains.
Her reputation as one of the most potent strains is fully deserved, THC levels can reach and sometimes exceed 20%. Satisfaction guaranteed, and then some. White Widow is also known for a truly pungent and penetrating aroma. If you’re looking for medium sized fuss-free plants with assured potency, then there are few finer choices!

Mazar, the classic Afghani Kush you will want to grow again and again
Mazar is a powerful indica of 1990’s Afghani origin. She is the perfect strain if you like dense, heavy buds of the highest quality with a pungent, earthy hash aroma.
She has numerous cannabis cup wins and has been used in countless crosses and hybrids. Easy to grow and compact, your only concern in the grow room will be the need for a quality carbon filter to contain the penetrating aroma.
The effect is heavy, sedating and very peaceful. The perfect way to relax after a busy day! Many repeat growers claim Mazar is the most enjoyable indica in the Dutch Passion collection.

Orange Bud, XL yielding citrus skunk par excellence
Original Orange Bud was found during an early 1980’s skunk selection. Orange Bud stood out for the pronounced citrus notes alongside the heavy yields and the strong high which slaps hard. Like all skunks she is easy to grow. Orange Bud is also unusually fast, with some phenotypes ready to harvest in as little as 7 weeks of cannabis bloom.
Results are very uniform, with consistently high-quality levels making Orange Bud a reliable top-shelf performer and a regular top-10 strain in all seed types.
Shaman, resilient outdoor/greenhouse sativa
If you’re an outdoor or greenhouse/polytunnel grower looking for a fully established strain tough enough to take a beating then Shaman is a top choice. Around half the plants are green and half develop blue/purple/pink hues. Combined with the long (up to 50cm) blooms these autumnal colours makes for a striking harvest of good quality sativa buds with a fresh, sweet and spicy taste.
Guerrilla growers, or perhaps those with a spare corner in their greenhouse, will find Shaman to be a reliable low-maintenance strain that will produce heavy yields with the minimum of effort.
Skunk #1, the daddy of the Skunk line
Skunk #1 is a legendary cornerstone of many modern strains. Her Mexican x Afghani x Colombian sativa genetics produce a trademark skunky pungency and large weighty blooms. Skunk #1 is a multiple cannabis cup winner with a euphoric, creative high. A fully proven legend in her own right, Skunk #1 regular seeds are easy to grow thanks to the inherent resilience and wide grow-latitude that comes with these classic Skunk genetics.
Bloom time is around 9 weeks. The classic, pungent Skunk aroma/taste is complemented by sweet, sour, spicy and earthy notes.
Hollands Hope, powerful & resilient outdoor indica
Hollands Hope is one of Dutch Passion’s oldest and most reliable outdoor strains. Available in regular seeds as well as feminised cannabis seeds. She is particularly suitable for changeable climates with a wet/cold climate and summers that may be short and late.
One of the reasons for her popularity is the authentic old-school aroma/taste. She has been a reliable favourite with outdoor growers for decades - a robust variety with strong branches and sturdy long blooms ensuring a generous yield. As with all outdoor strains, Holland’s Hope will thrive in a greenhouse or polytunnel.
Euforia, supreme quality Skunk with XL yields and killer dankness
A real staff favourite as well as a customer best-seller, Euforia is a cannabis cup winning Skunk loved for her consistent 20% THC levels and slamming effects. Euforia delivers a memorably euphoric high - she was an easy strain to name all those years ago!
If you’re looking for some genuinely high-quality regular sativa Skunk seeds which grow with real vigour and robustness then Euforia is as good as it gets. The harvests are heavy and pungent. The buds are packed with flavour and provide true top-shelf pleasure and satisfaction. Quite possibly the strongest Skunk in the Dutch Passion collection.
Power Plant, classic cannabis cup winning South African sativa
Power Plant enjoys a solid reputation after many years as one of the top go-to strains for those that love powerful, fast-blooming (8 week) Sativas with XL yields. Power Plant is robust enough to deliver well even in the hands of rookie growers. But in the hands of a seasoned grower, she can offer new yield records. She is a true all-rounder capable of thriving in any grow medium or grow system. The breath-taking, soaring high is comparable with any of the best sativa strains available today.

Durban Poison, High THC strain at home indoors or outdoors
Durban Poison is a fully proven and reliable Sativa strain which has become a cornerstone variety used in the breeding of, amongst other modern legends, Girl Scout Cookies. Durban Poison is unusual in that she is equally popular with both indoor and outdoor growers.
Indoors expect a typical high-quality harvest with high THC levels and a rich taste with hints of aniseed. Outdoors she is a tough durable performer that can cope with borderline Northern European summers. Whether grown indoors out outdoors, expect long resinous blooms and heavy branch-bending harvests.

Blueberry, sweet rich dark fruit flavours and the feel-good high
Blueberry is another cornerstone variety that has earned her reputation over several decades of service to home (and commercial) growers around the world, with multiple cannabis cups along the way. The smooth, powerful high is a real feel-good treat. The sticky buds often have blue hues and a dark appearance which perfectly complement the comforting sweet Blueberry-muffin taste. Blueberry is one of the fruitiest tasting strains you can grow, the indica genetics take around 8 weeks of bloom. A long lasting high, once experienced never forgotten!
