Dutch Passion Strain development - Polar light

[phaze]

Hi there guys from the Dutch Passion team (and all DP seed lovers)

I was wondering are you going to continue the development of the Polar Light strain any further? I'm doing a PL #2 grow at the moment and the difference between the two seeds are significant. One is a short and sturdy, dark green plant and the other one is stalky and bendy light green. The darker one is soon to finisih, and the lighter one has a 3+ more weeks to go.

To be honest I was hoping to get my hands on a PL#3, but the distributor that is available to where I live, delivered the PL#2 - and where I live, we have little to no right to complain. :/

As far as I read, the PL#3 is more stable and uniform in plant development - with that same great high that I like so much.

I'm wondering what is the background of development of this strain, what is her genetic heritage? Have you planed on further development (PL#4)?

Anyhow, love your work, I grow at least one DP strain per season and plan to continue doing like that in the future.

Best regards, and keep up the good work.

ps. I would love to attend one of your work meetings, when you decide how to further develop a strain or create a new one. What to pack in your color mixes and so on... I really consider you to be blessed because you do the work we all love so much. And get paid for it...

hi mate

The concept behind Polar Lights was always to have a great Haze 'up' high packaged in an auto form. Lots of our customers over the last 25 years have loved the option of a trippy head stash. But in our journey through the auto world we have also learned various improvements to the breeding process. So when we can confidently improve either or all of consistency/yield/potency we do so. In the case of #3 it was the consistency we were hoping to improve, thats how we got to #3. I wouldn't rule out a #4, but there reaches a point where you have a really solid product (Polar Lights #3) and you have to risk implementing a change for perhaps not that great a benefit. So we would have to feel really sure that a #4 would be worth the risk of getting rid of #3.

Remember you can always order direct from our website, we ship to most European countries.

Glad to hear you like our varieties, it's a passion for us, which is where our name comes from. And you are right, it is a great job. But I tell you something, I was at the Spannabis fair in Barcelona this year, its a stoner event. Seed companies, grow tent companies, hydro shop owners - you name it. One of the real joys of the show was seeing the number of people aged under 30 years old who were owner/managers of their own business. In some cases there were guys in their 20's that had grown networks of 6 or 7 hydroponics-supply shops in various cities. So I would say start thinking the impossible, you could make it happen
