This strain does not require any special attention and can also serve perfectly as a "guerrilla strain". You can grow them in a forest or in a (corn) field and even in a mountainous environment. This variety generally grows well with low nutrient requirements.
Hollands Hope is a strong outdoor strain that is fully adapted to a temperate climate
Hollands Hope is available in both feminized and regular seeds. It is a very potent indica, fully adapted to the Dutch climate and has been grown outdoors since the 1980s. It is a strong and reliable strain that is very resistant to fungi. This makes the plant ideal for a temperate climate and also for more northern countries.
Whether you want to grow it in the humid Netherlands or the UK, this strain can tolerate quite a bit of bad weather. It grows best as an outdoor variety, but is also ideal for pots. Make sure you have a large pot (at least 50 l), as this will benefit the root system and ultimately the yield of this lady.
Hollands Hope is a strong and robust cannabis plant, easy to grow and very resistant to bad weather conditions
Hollands Hope is a true “old school” classic. This strain was developed in the 1980s, when there were few hybridized cannabis strains for temperate climates. The strain became an instant hit. It amazed many growers with its quick flowering time, allowing it to be harvested before the onset of bad weather.
In the Netherlands, Holland's Hope was harvested long before the corn harvest, a useful and important trait for guerrilla growers. This brought the strain enormous fame, which eventually led to the original Dutch Passion Holland's Hope strain being featured in a Dutch TV cannabis series called "Hollands Hoop".
The strain is an indica-dominant hybrid with a quick flowering time of around 8 weeks and a compact bushy (Christmas tree) structure. The plant grows slightly smaller than other outdoor strains from our 'Dutch Outdoor' cannabis seed collection, such as Frisian Dew and Passion #1.
It grows with thick, strong branches and large fan leaves. As for the height, it usually reaches about 2 m, but in very favorable conditions it can reach a little higher. If you want to keep them a little smaller, it is advisable to top them. This can even be done several times, although it should be borne in mind that it will then grow significantly in width, so there must be enough space for it.
Hollands Hope is a cannabis plant that is perfect for growing in your backyard. Its compact growth makes it less visible than other outdoor varieties, and you can grow it both in the garden and in pots. Additionally, Hollands Hope can also be grown in a greenhouse, but try to provide some ventilation.
If it is a greenhouse without ventilation, you may see bud rot (or mold) on the compact buds of this strain due to too high humidity and not enough fresh air (oxygen). For better ventilation, open both a window and the door of the greenhouse.
You will achieve the best results if you use a fan, which ensures that more fresh air is blown through the greenhouse and that no stagnant air remains in the greenhouse.
The genetics with which Hollands Hope is bred guarantee the following characteristics:
- An easy-to-grow, Indica-dominant outdoor strain that is very suitable for growing in your garden, in a forest/field or in a mountainous area.
- A plant with a high resistance to bad weather conditions, even in a cold and humid climate, this variety thrives well.
- The compact plant structure makes it a medium-sized outdoor plant, its strong buds are long and full of a fresh, fruity and pine-like aroma.
Hollands Hope is an ideal strain for outdoor growers and guerrilla growers. In fact, this strain does well with slightly less attention and nutrition compared to other strains.
Impact of Hollands Hope
Hollands Hope is a reliable outdoor favorite with a heavy knock-out stone that is popular with recreational smokers and medicinal users. Its effect is primarily physical with only subtle mental aspects. It gives you a slightly energized feeling and allows your body to relax.
This physical swing is ideal for hanging out on the couch in the evening or when you have a day off. If you smoke Hollands Hope on a Sunday, you will find that you will wake up very relaxed on Monday. The smoking experience is spicy and fresh, and the excellent high lasts for at least a few hours.
The heyday of Hollands Hope
This strain has an average flowering time of 8 weeks. The plants reach an average height of 1.5-2.5m outdoors with long flowers of around 40-50cm and can of course harvest between 100g and 1000g depending on the growing conditions.
Hollands Hope is a true outdoor winner, but has occasionally been maintained indoors by our customers over the years. We generally advise against this as strains developed outdoors may react differently to an indoor climate with strong lamps.
For best results outdoors, we recommend pre-growing them indoors for at least 3-4 weeks. Once the plant has a decent root system and a number of internodes, it is strong enough to be moved outdoors.
It thrives very well in temperate climates and can be harvested around the end of September/beginning of October in Dutch latitudes.
The yield of Hollands Hope
Hollands Hope is known for its high disease resistance, fast flowering time and good yield. The plants can yield an average of a few hundred grams per plant. Under good conditions, a yield of between 500-1000g is possible.
This Indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain is a fast outdoor plant that can usually be harvested in early fall (late September, early October). The strain has sturdy buds that can carry quite a bit of weight.
It may not be the largest outdoor plant in its size, but it is one of the most compact. The combination of the quick flowering period with the large, strong branches and full buds is the reason many growers continue to grow this plant every year.
Advice from our experts
Topping and fimming are both good options to control their height a bit and create more lateral growth. Always make sure that you defoliate them well during the flowering phase so that no dead leaves get stuck between the thick, full buds. Dead/rotting leaves can cause unwanted fungi.
Overfertilizing Hollands Hope can stimulate excessive leaf growth and reduce bud formation. Therefore, it is strongly discouraged to use high doses of nutrients. It is best to grow it completely organically, it is suitable for "direct seed cultivation".
Give this lady a nice sunny spot and she will reward you with a delicious Dutch harvest!
