Double Dutch by Magus Genetics


Magus Genetics, Holland
Indica-Dominant
Genetics: Warlock x pre-2000 Chronic
Potency: THC 18%



Magus Genetics from the Netherlands has been involved in breeding and growing for over 20 years and, in this time, has secured access to some fantastic genetics. This includes a pre-2000 female Chronic, the product of a Skunk/Northern Lights, AK-47 and another Northern Lights plant. This plant was crossed with Magus Genetics’ own aptly-named Warlock male, which has its roots in Skunk and Afghani indica strains. Double Dutch has a lot of indica genetics in her gene pool, but the sativa influences are also evident, especially when you go to harvest your giant, super dense buds.

Such strong indica dominance exhibits itself in the way that Double Dutch grows, with big green leaves, a robust stature and very sturdy stems. Despite its hardiness, this plant must be staked due to the weight of the sativa-like buds, which will grow to epic proportions in the flowering stage and, if exposed to a lot of light, will even start to look like massive popcorn balls. Remember, when staking you are always advised to start early because once the flowering stage begins the weight gets packed on ridiculously fast. You don’t want to risk damaging the stalk or branches because you staked your plants a day late. Similarly, because the buds are very heavy, indoor grow rooms need to be very well ventilated to avoid the risk of mold developing.

These crops will grow well in bio, coco and especially well in hydro grow systems, and both topping and training can bring out great results. Towards the end of flowering, 1000 watts of light can be suitable to optimize bud formation. Placing your lights effectively is enormously important because Double Dutch loves direct sunlight. Be sure to plan your grow room’s organization in advance to ensure that each and every plant gets enough light. If each of your Double Dutch plants has good, solid light during the flowering stage, you should expect a great harvest of about 4 to 5 ounces per plant depending on your experience as a grower.

Smoking these popcorn nugs will give you a strong and layered buzz, affecting both mind and body. You may recognize the taste as being somewhat similar to Cheese, but with a more aromatic aftertaste and lingering flavor. The Double Dutch aroma is a lovely wildflower scent with a fruity bouquet. The high comes on after a slight delay, and is complex and strong, as well as skunky with a very noticeable but clear impact on the head with some heavy body effects, too. Smokers should be aware that the buzz can last from two to four hours depending on the smoker’s tolerance level.
