Top 5 old school feminised seeds from the 90's

To some growers, old-school cannabis strains carry a certain degree of nostalgia. Memories of great genetics, the taste and effects tend to remain many years after a specific strain was first enjoyed. Other growers are less concerned by the sentiment, and more interested in old school cannabis seeds because they represent a fully proven, reliable choice. Such strains achieved iconic status for all the right reasons - consistent performance, guaranteed potency and proven grow room performance. Here are Dutch Passion’s most celebrated feminised cannabis seeds from the 1990’s!
Classic cannabis strains
Dutch Passion were formally established in the 1980’s with a gene bank that includes many rare strains from the 1970’s. Feminised cannabis seeds were first created in the 1990’s thanks to pioneering innovation from Dutch Passions founder, Henk van Dalen.
The 1990’s saw a huge explosion in cannabis cultivation as high-performance feminised seeds became available. The best of these 1990’s genetic lines survive today. The main characteristics of such long-lived strains are rock-solid performance, reliably heavy yields and THC levels that can often exceed 20-25%.
Usually, these classic cannabis seeds are regularly purchased by repeat growers who enjoy the peace-of-mind that comes from growing fully-proven connoisseur quality genetics.

Their status was shaped by decades of successful cultivation by thousands of satisfied growers. Expect lip-smacking terpene profiles and a fully loaded cannabinoid content guaranteed to hit the spot!
Blueberry - sweet & sticky with unbeatable bag-appeal
One of the most iconic old-school cannabis strains is Blueberry. With blue hues in the buds and a supremely sweet fruitiness she is still found in coffee shops, dispensaries and social clubs all over the world.
For many serious growers, the all-round delights of Blueberry really are difficult to beat. Blueberry is available in regular cannabis seeds as well as feminised seeds. Fans of autoflower seeds will be pleased to know that Auto Blueberry is also available.
Blueberry feminised seeds are straightforward to grow with literally thousands of repeat growers, taking around 9 weeks in bloom. She is indica dominant with large (as opposed to XXL) yields. Blueberry seeds are often bought by those seeking premium quality buds rather than the heaviest yield.
When grown well, especially under LED grow lights, the buds have a unique old school dankness with penetrating rich aromas of dark forest fruits. The feel-good high is blissfully enjoyable, smooth, soothing and long lasting. For those that value jar-appeal, few strains can beat Blueberry. Very high THC levels are possible, up to and above 20% in good conditions.
Mazar - banging old-school Afghani
Mazar is an old-school stinker using genetics from the Mazar-i-Sharif region of Afghanistan. These were bred with a small amount of Skunk genetics to improve yields and consistency. Since her introduction in the 1990’s she has become synonymous with crippling potency and pungency levels that make you gasp with delight.
Mazar is an indica dominant strain which takes around 8 weeks in bloom. She is also available in regular seeds and autoflower seeds (as Auto Mazar). The Afghani heritage combined with Skunk genetics ensures a top-end aroma-rating.
Jars, rather than bags, are the only real way to contain the skunky stench. The buds are firm, sticky and resinous with banging potency (THC levels around 20%, above 20% in optimised conditions with LED). Those that like the uniquely rich & hashy scents of Mazar should check out the rest of the Afghani Kush cannabis seed collection - home to some of the dankest varieties available today. Just ensure your carbon filters are up to the job!
Orange Bud - citrus scented buds like no other
Those that prefer citrus scented buds with assured potency and XL yields will find Dutch Passions original Orange Bud to be the perfect 1990’s classic cannabis seed selection. Again, as an original 1990’s strain Orange Bud is also offered in regular seeds where she is a popular choice with smaller cannabis seed companies and amateur breeders seeking to make their own high-quality selections.
Orange Bud is a mainly sativa strain noted mostly for her fast bloom stage - she can be ready to harvest in as little as 7 weeks of bloom, though 8 weeks is more typical. Orange Bud is the key member of the Orange Family of cannabis seeds, and a classic in her own right - easy to grow in any grow medium/grow system with particularly heavy yield potential.
The sweet citrus scent is adored by all who grew her and with 20%+ THC levels in optimised conditions you don’t need to worry about potency - Orange Bud hits the spot every time. Satisfaction guaranteed, thousands of growers agree!

Power Plant - fast growing, heavy yielding South African sativa
Power Plant was created from powerful South African sativa genetics famed for heavy yields and a fast bloom. High-end THC levels never go out of fashion, and Power Plant remains just as popular today as she was decades ago when first introduced.
Part of the Classics Cannabis Seed collection, Power Plant is the perfect choice for those seeking maximum yields with a short (8 week) cannabis flowering phase. She is a full proven classic and still found in coffee shops & dispensaries, such is the quality and consistency from these powerful cannabis genetics. The aroma is woody, earthy, spicy and floral.
It’s a real treat, uplifting with a clear anti-anxiety effect. With several cannabis cups of her own, Power Plant is reliable and trusted by countless growers to deliver fast, branch-breaking harvests. These are true XXL genetics that will satisfy those with the highest expectations. Also available in autoflower seed form as Auto Power Plant.

The Ultimate - perhaps the best yielding Dutch Passion strain of all time
If you’re a serious grower looking for the very heaviest yielding genetics then The Ultimate has to be Dutch Passion’s best feminised seed option. Taking 9 weeks in bloom, Dutch Passion have never seen a higher yielding hybrid strain with this level of quality. THC levels are up there in the 20-25% zone, strong enough to guarantee satisfaction even for seasoned smokers.
The Ultimate will impress the rookie grower but will blow away the experienced pro who knows how to fully optimise grow room conditions. Blooms keep swelling, side-blooms will be fat enough to bend the branches downwards under their own weight. The combination of epic yields with top-end potency has made The Ultimate a top-10 best seller. Those that prefer autoflower seeds will love Auto Ultimate.
Although Auto Ultimate can take 12-15 weeks to complete her grow cycle (a few weeks longer than the average autoflower strain) the yields are truly spectacular. Hydro growers will comfortably achieve several hundred grams from each well grown specimen.
