Power Plant Regular is the version of this South African classic made for growers who like to work with both sexes. Each pack holds 10 regular photoperiod seeds that will sprout roughly half male and half female, giving you a real population to study, select and cross rather than a uniform crop of identical girls.
That matters with a line like Power Plant. Dutch Passion introduced her in 1997 and has maintained her by backcrossing only, never hybridizing, so the genetics trace straight back to the original South African material. For breeders, that kind of lineage is exactly what makes regular seeds worth the extra work: you are starting from a pure, stable base rather than a recent mix.
The female plants show the traits that made Power Plant famous. Bloom takes around 8-9 weeks, with some longer phenotypes at 10-11 weeks, and plants usually finish at 75-125 cm (29.5-49.2 in). Dutch Passion puts typical indoor yields at 500-600 g/m² (1.64-1.97 oz/ft²), rising to 600-750 g/m² (1.97-2.46 oz/ft²) for experts, all from long, well-stacked colas.
Power Plant also has a competition record: in 2016 she took 1st Prize Sativa and 3rd Prize Hash at the Lift Expo in Vancouver, and 2nd Prize Sativa at the Prairie Medicinal Harvest Cup in Canada.
Why Growers and Breeders Choose Regular Power Plant
Regular seeds give you choice. Running a pack lets you hunt for a standout mother plant among several females, comparing stretch, cola length, aroma and finishing speed side by side. Power Plant is known as an easy plant to clone, so once you find a keeper you can hold her as a mother and keep producing cuttings for years.
The males are just as valuable. A strong, vigorous Power Plant male can be used to collect pollen and make your own crosses, adding her yield, speed and sativa structure to another favorite strain, or simply to produce more seeds of the original line. Many traditional growers also prefer regulars because they feel closer to how cannabis was bred before feminized seeds became common.
To work with males safely, keep an eye on your plants from the first days of 12/12. Males usually reveal their pollen sacs early; move them to a separate space if you want pollen, or remove them if you only want sinsemilla flowers from your females.
Flavor, Effects and Growth Habits
Female flowers give off a pungent mix of wood, spice, earth and flowers, with soft lily and vanilla tones in the background. The smoke is mild and smooth, and the high hits fast: euphoric and energizing at first, then easing into a relaxed, laid-back state that can last for hours.
In the garden, Power Plant is famously tough. She handles changes in temperature and humidity, feeds easily and accepts bending, crushing and supercropping. Expect a 200-300% stretch during the first 3-4 weeks of bloom, which makes her a strong SCROG candidate and also allows 12/12 from seed for a quick sea of green.
Outdoors, warm and dry climates let her reach very large sizes, and earlier-finishing phenotypes can handle more temperate summers. That spread of phenotypes is exactly what a regular pack lets you explore and select from.

FAQ
What is the difference between Power Plant Regular and feminized?
Regular seeds produce both male and female plants, roughly 50/50, while feminized seeds produce females. Regulars are the choice for breeders who want males for pollen or a wider population for mother selection.
How many seeds are in a pack of Power Plant Regular?
Each pack contains 10 regular photoperiod seeds, so you can expect around five females and five males on average.
Can I use a Power Plant male to make my own crosses?
Yes. Collecting pollen from a vigorous male lets you cross Power Plant into another strain or produce more seeds of the original line. Keep males isolated so they do not pollinate your flowering crop unintentionally.
Is Power Plant Regular good for keeping a mother plant?
Yes. Power Plant is known as an easy plant to clone, so selecting a top female from a regular pack and keeping her as a mother works well.
How long do Power Plant Regular females take to flower?
Most females finish in 8-9 weeks of 12/12, with some longer phenotypes needing 10-11 weeks.
Where do the Power Plant genetics come from?
The line originates in South Africa. Dutch Passion released it in 1997 and has kept it pure through backcrossing, without hybridizing it with other strains.
