Purple #1 (Regular) – Dutch Passion Seeds


The original 1980s purple legend in its true, unaltered form. Purple #1 Regular allows both male and female plants, making it ideal for breeders, preservationists, and those seeking to work with authentic, colourful Afghan-Dutch genetics.


Introduction:

Purple #1 (Regular) is the original purple outdoor strain that started it all. Bred in the early 1980s, this Dutch Passion classic remains one of the world’s most famous coloured cannabis varieties. A cross between a unique purple Afghan Indica and a vigorous Dutch Sativa hybrid, Purple #1 was selectively stabilised for strength, early finishing, and beautiful violet pigmentation. In regular seed form, it offers both male and female plants — perfect for breeders and growers looking to preserve or build upon this historic genetic line.


Renowned for her fast flowering, vivid purple hues, and balanced hybrid high, Purple #1 Regular is a robust, adaptable variety that thrives outdoors and in greenhouses across a wide range of climates.

Strain Description:

Purple #1 Regular remains one of Dutch Passion’s most reliable and time-tested outdoor strains. Bred for durability and quick flowering, she is perfectly suited to temperate and northern climates. Her vigorous hybrid growth produces tall, elegant plants with slender leaves and a balanced Sativa-Indica structure. Once flowering begins, her buds quickly develop rich purple and violet tones, with some phenotypes displaying deep magenta pistils and dark green sugar leaves.


The male plants are equally strong and well-structured, making them valuable for breeding projects where colour expression, resin production, and outdoor resilience are desired traits. Both male and female plants exhibit consistent vigour, high adaptability, and the potential for strong terpene expression.


The flowers themselves are large, resinous, and beautifully tinted — with long, spear-shaped buds that can reach up to 50 cm. Their slightly open structure helps protect against bud rot and mould, making Purple #1 an excellent choice for humid or unpredictable outdoor environments.


Flavour and Aromas:

Purple #1 Regular has a true old-school Afghan aroma that is earthy, spicy, and slightly tart, complemented by fruity and floral accents. Some phenotypes lean toward pine and citrus, while others exhibit a deep, hashy musk. The flavour matches the scent closely — a smooth combination of earthy spice and sweet fruit, reminiscent of vintage hashish and mountain-grown Afghan cannabis.


Strain Lineage:

• Purple Afghan: Original Afghan Indica selected for its purple pigmentation and resinous buds.

• Dutch Outdoor Hybrid: Developed in the Netherlands for early finishing, robustness, and adaptability.


Growing Information:

Purple #1 Regular was bred specifically for outdoor and greenhouse cultivation. She thrives in moderate, northern, and coastal climates, reaching between 1.5–2.5 metres in height. The plants grow rapidly in the vegetative phase and transition smoothly into flower, typically finishing outdoors by mid to late September.


Indoors, she performs well under 12/12 light schedules, maturing in 8 weeks or less. Her medium internode distance and long, airy colas make her resistant to mould and easy to trim. Purple #1 Regular responds well to topping, FIMming, LST, and SCROG methods for those looking to control height or shape.


Cold night temperatures will deepen her purple hues, while organic soil cultivation enhances her rich, earthy terpene profile. For optimal results, use large pots or open-ground planting to allow her roots to expand fully. The male plants can be selected for breeding projects aimed at enhancing colour, structure, and outdoor adaptability in hybrid lines.


Effects:

Purple #1’s effect is a balanced hybrid high — uplifting and clear-headed at first, followed by a relaxing body stone. The onset is fast and cerebral, promoting euphoria and focus without overwhelming intensity. As it settles, a gentle Indica calmness takes over, easing tension and stress. It’s a short- to medium-duration high that’s perfect for daytime or early evening use.


The result is a smooth, enjoyable experience that leaves you energised yet grounded — ideal for creative work, outdoor activities, or simply unwinding in peace.


Strain Summary:

Purple #1 (Regular) is a piece of Dutch cannabis history — a robust, beautifully coloured strain that has stood the test of time. With its stunning purple flowers, quick finish, and adaptable nature, it remains one of the best outdoor strains for breeders and collectors alike. Whether you’re looking to preserve its genetics, create new purple hybrids, or simply enjoy an easy, reliable grow, Purple #1 Regular delivers classic quality and timeless appeal.
