iv just had the most awfull time growing dutch passion's euforia
my plant was extreemly healthy so it was not my fault i was flowering my euforia for 6 weeks and it was only just starting to flower it had no resin the biggest bud was the size of my little finger nail
so as you can see for a strain thats supposed to be finnished in 7 weeks
i was so dissapointed that i threw her away brought some new power skunk seeds and im hoping for better luck this time
bye the way conditions in my grow room were the same as the last plant i grew wich was northern lights and gave me excellent results
so i am posting this as a warning to others out there
i would love to hear from other growers if they to have had any probs with euforia or if they have had good results
but for me its no more dutch passion seeds
thanx for any replies

..Strange that.

Dutch Passion's Euforia is highly recommended by many people on here, i have never tried it- but not heard really anything but great results from it.

Anyways good luck with the next stains of choice.
Sticky!

I grew DP Euforia the grow before last, It was the last time I will ever buy DP again , out of the 10 seeds only 6 germed, 1 was a freak 2 x hermies, however saying all that one plant was a really nice smoke.

Check Zaboot diary,

He has a tried and tested Euforia Cut that he has used for years, big yielder too.

I otice since femmed seeds have been around lots of people complain about Dutch Passion hermies.... nuke.gif

Nice one Semtex!

green dreamer - not sure what happened there mate. You shoudl never take the dates on the package as gospel. As with any seed you must select the best to use as a mother and take it from there.
For me Euforia has been legend. I have rtied many many strains - from Dutch passion stuff, sensi seeds, Mr nice, G13 labs etc... and I keep coming back to the original cuttings from Euforia - for taste, ease, speed, and yield

Germed plenty of seeds and narrowed it down and down again until there was one mother that was just bloody amazing.
Indoors you can always expect around 1g per watt, outdoors, if you top a few times you will get around 14-18 oz per plant.

I do know of people who have tried it and have had late flowerers such as yours (Over 10 weeks) but I feel you cut it down pre-emptively! I hear the late flowering ones yield crazy amounts of top notch smoke, that will leave you on your couch for a long long time. On UK420 most people seem to leave it a lot longer than I would and they all get huge yields with great looking dubs

All seed companies are out to make money at the end of the day - it is a business not a charity, and poeple have choice of where to go - if DP was bad it would not have been around for the time it has, I reckon it was bad luck you got a slow one and did nto see it through

yes thie plant was upseting me each day the buds looked smaller though that was probably just me. buy the wa it was going i think it would have taken another 18 weeks and i just cant last that long without a smoke
addmitadly it was a risk cutting it down but i only have room for 1 plant indoors
and because it was upseting me so much i thought id just start again with another plant that i will hopfully enjoy growing more
i now that i should be able to finnish this one in around 12 weeks
i mean if you saw the one i binned i think you would understand i mean 6 weeks of 12/12 to have no resin flowers the size of my little finger nail
i mean realy slow
ps if i had room for 2 plants indoors i would not have thrown it out,its just that for me growing i half the fun of smoking and if im not enjoying it i would rather start growing something that i will enjoy growing.i just hope there is no probs with my new power skunk from the flying dutchman
zaaboot
Good call mate - irts alll about enjopyment at teh end of the day. If you do get the chance to find some Euforia cuts give it another go. Good luck with your power skunk.

P.S I will post you a pic of mine at 6 weeks to compare smile.gif
BioBuzz
Well I can tell you this much g.gif

Its DAMN good smoke thumbsup.gif
green dreemer
yes zaaboot your friends took 10 weeks but this one had been flowering for 6 with no i mean no resin no calaxes just a few white hairs so there no way it would be ready in another 4 weeks honestly i think i would have taken this plant 25 weeks to flower at this rate honestly if i had pics you would be surprised

Just sounds like a shite Pheno thats all.......
green dreemer
yeh lennon i think your right it hard for me because i have to choose my favorite seddling just after birth and only grow that because dad will only tollerate 1 plant in the house at a time

i had very good results off euph from dp about a year back.

very very strong, in a waterfall i was very blitzed. some wild dreams on it a well when sleeping.
green dreemer
sounds like im mr unlucky i still have two seeds left but im worried that the same thing will happen again
diggle17
it could be a sativa dom pheno thats all unsure.gif never had probs with dps seeds myself there white widows killer
green dreemer
iv grown hazez that are like flowering ferraris compared to this one
zaaboot
Hey there green dreamer - just a quick update as I said I would. This is three weeks (21 days today) in to 12/12

crystals and buds forming nicely - little slower than normal as it is scrog and the stress may push it to 8, but no more
Ilpapa
I am a big fan of euforia.

As has been said you have to find right pheno. Sativa ones will obviously finish slower.

I too have narrowed down from about 40 plants to 2 mothers.

I finish mine in 6 weeks with 1500ppm of co2 for first thirty days and tapering off gas thereafter.

Top yielders. Only Chronic has given me better results but it takes a week to ten days longer in my experience.

Great smoke. Bit debilitating. Wouldn't smoke it at work. rofl.gif

As for hermies from feminized seeds-I have used em a lot and never had a problem. I think people can be too quick to blame the seeds when they get hermies.More likely they are stressing plants somehow and making seeds the scapegoat for their mistakes in a lot of cases -in my opinion.

Yours euforically
Papa.

Grow it now and like it. Mine is done at 8 weeks.


Did you check for light leaks or timer trouble that would not give it 12 of dark?

Mine also smells very strong and sweet, which is an unexpected surprise as DP mentions on the pack that its not the best smelling skunk variety out there. Does anybody else get the same or is this a freak phenol?

Yeah mate - mine always smells nice from about 3 weeks onwards, and it just gets better with age - the pheno with me is slightly citrusy, but mild - not too overpowering a smell until chopped and dry/cured.....or could that be the CF taking the smell away wink.gif

I have always found em strong smelling.
As zaaboot says it can be citrus type odour.

Grew 3 of these about 3 yrs ago, 1 of the best smokes ive had. All 3 ladies looked and smoked the same, but it was a 10-11 weeker easy, i think 7 weeks is a tad optimistic, this baby didnt really kick into flower till the last 6 weeks. The way my mates still talk about it if i hadnt done it myself it would be top of my list of gene's to grow.

Its funny, most of the time the breeder emphasizes the aroma not play it down. Im pleasantly surprised thumbsup.gif

i must of just had the worst pheno ever then because the picture of the one at three weeks is way further ahead of mine at 6 weeks honestly no smell no thc no calaxes formed just nothing realy and yes i did check for light leeks and timer probs wich there wern't any
Ilpapa

Mine look similar to that today. 12 days in flower but with 1500ppm co2. You must have got a bad one. I have probably had three dozen different phenos and I wouldn't have described any as "bad". Sounds like rotten luck. I feel your pain.

Papa.
green dreemer
yes dammed rotten luck im going to run out of weed because of that 10 week delay
my new power skunk from flying dutchmen is 3 weeks old and looks healthy so hope fully this will make up for it i hope cant wait to see bud growing again
pitty is i cant find any one on this site who has grown it before for any tips and when i try to start a thread on it it keeps being merged with one about dutch passion tungra wich is realy annoying
i wonder if there is a way of making sure a thread dosent get merged with another topic

yeh i hate dp there a bunch of rip of merchants imho i know ill get flack for this but i have already said my reasons for my opinion plus my cousin has had some wierd mutations going on with is skunk 11 and his ultra skunk but there much better than my euforia but then he can grow upto 60 plants at a time wich makes things alot easier than having only the room indoors for one plant from seed to end like me

I`m just about to crop a couple of Strawberry Coughs from DP,no problems with fem genes here i`m afraid. stoned.gif
