THC-Victory

In 2020, Dutch Passion was the very first cannabis seed company to launch a THCV-rich cannabis strain. THC-Victory was therefore the first feminized commercial THCV cannabis seed variety to become available to all growers worldwide.

THC-Victory is a photoperiod Sativa-dominant cannabis seed variety with a very high THCV content. Average THCV content in the dry buds is around 6-8% with about the same amount of THC when grown in good conditions.

Flowering time is typically around 11 weeks on a 12/12 cannabis light schedule. THC-Victory is a medium sized variety and can be a little slow in the early growth phase. After the third internode she becomes faster and stronger. Once she is really established, the vigor of this strain will become increasingly apparent.

Her Sativa genes allow the plants a strong stretch and vigorous development, one that is particularly apparent during the cannabis flowering phase. The plants can stretch for a relatively longer time during the flowering phase (from the moment she is set to 12/12). This makes THC-Victory seeds very suitable for growing with the SCROG method.

Due to her unique cannabinoid profile, this feminized THCV-rich cannabis seed variety has attracted interest from both the medical cannabis community and the pharmaceutical industry. THCV is generating increasing levels of medical interest.

The potential benefits and applications for patients are likely to receive intensive study for many years. We therefore hope that THC-Victory will facilitate more advanced research and become a beacon of hope in the lives of many medical and recreational users.

THC-Victory has sturdy side branches and average yields. The plants grow to a medium/large size with a relatively long stretch period. The flowering hairs (pistils) are present in most phenotypes at a slightly higher density than in traditional cannabis varieties.

Her plant structure can best be described as medium-to-large. The internode distance is also medium-to-large. The buds are close together on the branches but tend not to form completely dense, full blooms.

The genetics used for THC-Victory guarantee the following properties:

• A stable THCV-rich photoperiod cannabis strain with a Sativa-dominant plant/top structure with a flowering time of 11 weeks on average.

• THC-Victory is a potent cannabis strain with a very high THCV content in combination with a comparable THC content, suitable for medical users as well as licensed producers and research centers.

• This strain is very suitable for SCROG growers due to her longer stretching and flowering period. She grows well in soil, coco and hydro.

THC-Victory is best suited for indoor growing but can also be grown outdoors in warmer climates. Her plant structure is medium-to-tall and produces buds with a unique cannabinoid and terpene profile.

THC-Victory has an average flowering time of between 10-12 weeks. Most phenotypes are ready to harvest around 11 weeks after converting to a 12/12 cannabis right schedule (12 hours of light/dark per day). There are also other phenotypes to discover, which only need 9-10 weeks of bloom, but there are also individuals that require around 11-12 weeks.

Outdoors, THC-Victory will bloom as the days get shorter. She is a strain originally developed for indoor growing. But she can also be grown successfully outdoors in warm (and preferably dry) areas, especially with the faster phenotypes. She is not suitable for outdoor cultivation in a northern or temperate climate, since the flowering time is unfortunately too long.

Outdoors she can take 1 to 2 weeks longer in bloom compared to an indoor grow, this strongly depends on the climate and temperature fluctuations. The more unstable the climate, the longer it takes to fully ripen. Preferably provide a sunny spot and sufficient ventilation to minimize the risk of mold and bud rot.

THC-Victory is a cannabis strain with a good yield. She has received an L-mark (for Large yields), which means that in the right conditions and in the hands of a good grower, excellent yields can be achieved. This becomes a little more difficult for novice growers.

THC-Victory branches well and can produce many long blooms. She has a relatively longer stretch period compared to many strains but is normally easily controllable. In general, a yield of approximately 350-450 g/m2 can be obtained with this feminized THCV cannabis strain.

Outdoors in good conditions, plants can yield between 250-750 grams of dry buds, especially when she has had a good, lengthy vegetative phase. Due to her strong branching, this strain also lends herself to SCROG cultivation and the use of various growing techniques with which the height of the plant can be manipulated, such as cropping, supercropping and bending.

THC-Victory is a unique cannabis variety that, along with a number of other groundbreaking innovations, belongs to our family of special cannabinoid cannabis seeds. Developing this strain took several years. The terpenes of this strain are unique and lean towards the fresh and spicy side of the taste spectrum. The cannabis trichomes contain around the same amount of THC as THCV, both present at around 6-8%.

The taste is spicy with more fresh, sometimes sharp, notes of pine. A pleasant terpene profile to vape, THC-Victory has a classic cannabis aroma. It is mainly spicy and floral with occasional hints of woody/pine-tree scent. Some plants show a citrus profile.

The four most dominant terpenes are terpinolene, pinene, caryophyllene and ocimene. These terpenes give this THCV rich strain its remarkable fragrance. Some think it smells a bit like a spicy tea.

The taste is also mainly spicy. The floral character can be slightly suppressed when the fresh, pine flavor comes out a little more. All in all a very pleasant terpene profile, fresh on the tongue and soft on the throat. Definitely a pleasant taste that is nice to vape or just to consume via a joint or 'spliff' (preferably without tobacco).

Are you aware that THCV has a higher vaporization temperature than THC? If you prefer to consume cannabis with a vape, you should set the temperature to a minimum of 220°C.

There are still many questions, both medical and recreational, about the value and uses of THCV. What we do know is that a high dose of THCV puts you in a euphoric state, just like THC. But at the same time, THCV is thought to lessen the effects of THC somewhat.

Technically, THCV is known as a type 1 cannabinoid receptor antagonist. It is also thought that THCV has an appetite suppressant effect, it may affect the metabolic process, and may play a role in the treatment of diabetes.

GW Pharmaceuticals is already researching plant-derived THCV for potential applications in type 2 diabetes. You can read more about the studies on THCV (called GWP42004) here. Unfortunately, Dutch Passion cannot yet comment on the medical uses of THCV.

In terms of the ‘high’, users experience a clear feeling - a kind of 'mental clarity' that you will not easily experience with other strains. It is usually a combination of a stoned feeling in your body but a more euphoric and clear high in your head.

The effect lasts a little shorter, on average, than with traditional high-THC cannabis strains. It also seems that the traditional THC hunger frenzy (or ‘munchies') are not present after smoking/vaping THC-Victory. However, this may differ from person to person. The next day you will wake up rested and clearer. It’s a good start to your day!

Our THCV-rich THC-Victory is suitable for use throughout the day, so a mellow 'wake & bake' or a relaxed afternoon joint are certainly also possible.

THC-Victory has clear Sativa genetics which you can see in her growth pattern, the branches, but also in the top structure. The stretching period during the flowering phase is a bit longer and more exuberant than the average hybrid cannabis strain. This makes her ideal for growers who enjoy growing with the SCROG method. This allows you to work with fewer plants per m2 and still achieve a large yield.

She can be a bit fussy when it comes to nutrition. For that reason we recommend growing her organically. Preferably with 'slow-release' food such as Biotabs, with these nutrients you can more easily ensure that you stay in the 'nutrient sweet spot'.

During the growth phase, she needs slightly less N (Nitrogen) than normal. During the flowering phase it can be useful to work with a support net - the long blooms benefit from some support. Working with strings or yo-yos is also a good option.

Do you like to grow the natural way and do you want to keep her small? Then you can top her as well as consider the 'FIM' technique (Fuck I Missed) to limit her height somewhat and increase her width/bushiness. Don't grow her in the veg phase for too long, because she will stretch for quite some time during the subsequent flowering phase.
