Brainstorm by Dutch Passion

Brainstorm left the Dutch Passion catalogue with its reputation intact.

The line joined the breeder's collection in 1996 as Northern Lights #5 crossed with pure Haze, a pairing with deep roots in Dutch breeding. In 2006 Dutch Passion went back to the original seed stock, chose a premium clone and used it to make the feminised version, which became a repeat buy for indoor growers. It has since been discontinued, so sealed packs are getting scarce.

The breeder never published a detailed tasting note. What it did stress was a well balanced, soft smoke, with the smooth Northern Lights side taking the rough edges off the Haze.

Dutch Passion describes it as THC rich, with a strong and long lasting high, and files it under its indica-effect strains. A settled body under a lingering Haze head makes it a better fit for evenings than for a busy morning.

Brainstorm is a sturdy plant that carries the vigour and yield of Northern Lights #5, rated XL by the breeder and described as good for bumper harvests. Flowering takes about 9 weeks, and the breeder found it easy enough to recommend to new growers while also noting it as a good line from which to select mother plants. Its strongest results come indoors or in warm outdoor climates.

Dutch Passion, one of the world's oldest seedbanks, was formally established in Amsterdam in 1987 and is also behind Skywalker Haze, Frisian Dew and Orange Bud.
