Some strains win over a grow room with sheer size; Mokum’s Tulip does it with smell. The moment the buds start to swell, the tent fills with a sweet, creamy, fruit-sorbet aroma that reads like a scoop of gelato melting in the sun. Dutch Passion built this feminized hybrid around a rare Gelato phenotype, and the result became one of the most decorated modern strains in the Amsterdam breeder’s Classics collection.
The backstory is simple and very Dutch. Dutch Passion’s head of genetics spotted a Gelato plant with blue-tinted leaves, rock-hard flowers and an unusually sweet perfume while traveling. He brought it home to Mokum, the old nickname for Amsterdam, and paired it with a potent Sherbet cutting from the sweeter side of the Cookie family. The team thought the finished flowers smelled like a red rose, and the tulip name followed.
Potency is the other headline. Independent lab results cited by Dutch Passion put Mokum’s Tulip above 25% THC with total cannabinoids over 30%, which puts it among the heaviest hitters in the catalog. And it gets there fast: most plants finish in roughly 8 weeks of 12/12, with some phenotypes done a week sooner.
Recognition followed quickly after release. Mokum’s Tulip took 1st prize in the Indica category of the Clouds in the City Cup 2019, 2nd prize at the Farallones Medical Cannabis Cup 2019, and 2nd prize in the Hybrid category of the Dutch Flowers Cup 2020.
Flavor, Effects, and That Gelato Signature
Grind a cured nug and the Gelato heritage is obvious. Most plants lean into forest-fruit ice cream, while others drift toward a brighter grapefruit and orange sorbet. Underneath sits a rich, creamy sweetness that keeps the whole profile smooth. The smoke tracks the aroma closely, so what you smell in the jar is what lands on the palate, especially in a clean joint or a low-temp vape.
The high is strong and long. A euphoric, powerful head rush arrives first, then a heavy, relaxing body effect settles in behind it. It is the kind of hybrid that pairs well with a lazy weekend afternoon or the end of a long day, and because the mental side stays upbeat, plenty of people enjoy it earlier in the day too. Go easy at first: this is not a mild strain.
Growing Mokum’s Tulip Feminized Seeds
Mokum’s Tulip grows quickly and builds thick trunks and sturdy branches that carry dense, round flowers without much help. The plants show a hybrid build that tips slightly toward indica: broad leaves, short to medium internodes and an average stretch of about 2.5 weeks after the flip, with most of the upward push in weeks one and two. Pistils show up early, and by around week four the branches are lined with white buds.
That sturdy frame is a gift for beginners, but it also means Dutch Passion advises against aggressive training. The stiff branches do not love LST, HST or supercropping, and heavy defoliation is not recommended. Instead, run her naturally or in a sea of green. A SOG with many plants in smaller 12 L (3.2 gal) pots works well, as do fewer plants in 25-30 L (6.6-7.9 gal) containers with a longer veg.
Expect around 400-500 g/m² (1.31-1.64 oz/ft²) indoors under good conditions. Outdoors, Mokum’s Tulip becomes a bushy, heavy-laden plant that prefers warm, dry climates; the compact buds dislike high humidity, so keep an eye on late-season moisture. For a final push of terpenes, Dutch Passion suggests a blue-light-only treatment at the very end of bloom, or 2-3 days of darkness before the chop (keep watering). As with any feminized line, inspect plants during bloom; under severe stress a small percentage can throw male flowers.

FAQ
Who bred Mokum’s Tulip and what are the parents?
Mokum’s Tulip was bred by Dutch Passion in Amsterdam. It crosses a selected Gelato phenotype with a potent Sherbet cutting, both rooted in the American Cookie family.
How strong is Mokum’s Tulip?
Very strong. Independent lab results quoted by Dutch Passion show THC above 25% and total cannabinoids above 30%, so new consumers should start with small amounts.
What does Mokum’s Tulip taste like?
Expect a sweet, creamy, fruity profile that closely resembles ice cream. Some plants lean toward forest fruit, others toward grapefruit or orange sorbet.
How long does Mokum’s Tulip take to flower?
Plan on about 8 weeks, or 56-63 days of 12/12. Some phenotypes are ready a week earlier, while others like an extra week. Check trichomes with a loupe before harvest.
Can I train Mokum’s Tulip with LST or supercropping?
It is not recommended. The branches are thick and stiff, so Dutch Passion suggests letting her grow naturally or running a SOG rather than bending, cracking or heavily defoliating.
What yield can I expect from Mokum’s Tulip?
Indoors, about 400-500 g/m² (1.31-1.64 oz/ft²) is realistic in good conditions. Outdoor plants turn bushy and robust and prefer warm, dry weather.
