Dutch Passion Shaman Outdoor

Shooey Week 1 DP Shaman. First ever try with Dutch Passion. I researched a lot for strains that handle sub tropical conditions well because that’s what I have. This reads really well. Also a bit of a mystery if you might get a beautiful purple shade which I look forward to.

Shooey So far so good, looking healthy and handling some hot days at the moment.

Shooey Shaman has been moved to a friends place, where I will continue to update weekly. Transferred into a 25l pot. All going well.

Shooey Shaman is taking off this week. We have had some nice rain for a change and Shaman is loving it. Looks like it’s gonna be a nice branch variety. I look forward to seeing her develop over the coming weeks as she is moving fast!

Shooey Shaman is seriously impressive. It has all but tripled in size in just a week. Tall and lanky it is absolutely thriving in our current heat and humidity. I have moved her to a mates place to grow out and he is old school, adamant about not topping, just letting her go as nature would. So will be interesting to see how the yield turns out. Whatever happens it is so cool to watch this grow as it is flying like I haven’t seen before.

Shooey Shaman is just amazing. I have never seen such vigorous growth before. It has more than doubled in size this week, after it tripled in size last week. Super deep green and healthy, it is just thriving in really testing heat which is taking its toll on all the other plants. Some light hairs last week have now given way to full flowering. She is a bit thin and lanky and really should have been pinched a couple of times but I really wanted to see how it would go with the one main cola. Incredible growth each week, Shaman is scary to watch!!!

Shooey Shaman is killing it👊 Vertical growth has finally settled down and she is starting to shoot out some nice looking buds. Heaps of rain at the moment, man it has been a summer of extremes for sure. This is a real adventure grow for sure

Shooey What a story this Shaman has this week!! She has been at my mates place for the past month or so and doing well. This week an old friend of my mate passed away in his house! He lived in a bus out the front. The cops came round to tie up loose ends and shaman was hastily moved. Then his kid accidentally called 000 and cops turned up again!! He stressed out bad so shaman has come back home to my place to finish. Although my mate is old school and doesn’t feed much other than rainwater, first thing I did was hit it with bio Flores and boost to feed those popcorn buds. Hoping to bulk them up a bit, man shaman matures fast and never stops changing.

Shooey Shaman has settled right in at my place and seems to be appreciating the heavier feeding. Rain has eased off this week thankfully. The buds seem to have a lot of brown hairs this early into flowering. Even though I haven’t seen any signs of purple, I am wondering if I may get some in the next few weeks. I really hope so because I haven’t grown anything purple before. The smell is picking up and the buds are swelling and joining up. I’m kind of glad she was never topped now because it looks really cool in its natural state.

Shooey Another pretty good week for Shaman. It seems a bit more “steady as she goes” now. It has stopped growing vertically and just the buds are fattening up and the resin production is increasing. Maybe it’s because I see it every day now, I don’t notice the changes as much. The smell is really nice. I feel as though I am about half way there, and have 3 - 4 weeks to go. Cheers all 🍻

Shooey This week I have noticed Shamans buds really fatten up nicely. Not having performed any LST or HST has given her the classic Sativa look with buds dotted along lower branches, and clumped together all along the top spire. I am glad we ended up doing this one like this to see her as she would be in the wild, although I could argue I could have achieved a better yield with some training and topping, but it’s not all about the yield as much as the enjoyment. I had to take one bud off as it had rot due to all the rain. On close inspection I can’t find anymore on the plant, so all good but she is coming out next week. Given the sheer volume of rain and humidity, plus very sticky resinous buds, I still rate Shaman as seriously resilient in the outdoors, although next time I would add more perlite and keep in a smaller pot so I could move her indoors when the rain is due. Live and learn though right 🍻

Shooey Shaman has been such a fun grow because of its classic characteristics and rapid changes in maturity in early stages. At harvest, the buds are of medium density and have a very nice citrus type smell. Smoke taste update to follow after full cure, but for a medium thc producer, it packs a real punch. Shaman comes on almost instantly and gives a real dry mouth straight away. I recommend growing Shaman outdoors, especially if you have testing conditions in your area. It handles all conditions and is resistant to bugs. Seedlings thrived in extreme conditions unlike other strains I had going. All in all, Shaman is right up there for me and I will definitely give it another go in the future. Nice one Dutch Passion, this is a good one👍
