Frisian Duck

Frisian Duck is a hybrid cannabis strain that is bred for its distinctive leaf shape which looks like a ducks footprint. She grows without being recognisable as cannabis for much of her life. Her compact buds have quite a subtle spicy aroma with hints of fresh forest, pine and citrus. The aroma isn’t that pungent, helping her to maintain a low smell profile even when the big purple flowers have matured and dominated its looks. 

Frisian Duck has a slightly fruity, piney taste that can have hints of berries and fresh forest. Some phenotypes express a more citrus dominated flavour profile. Being slightly citrus and piney, her aroma profile definitely wakes you up! Perfect for a morning or daytime smoke. 

Frisian Duck has purple buds with a hybrid bud structure which leans slightly to the Sativa side. She can be prone to foxtailing, making her buds a bit more open yet very resistant to prolonged periods of bad outdoor weather.

Being the product of a hybridisation of Ducksfoot x Frisian Dew, Frisian Duck has the potential to yield quite heavily. Her Frisian Dew parent genetics ensures healthy and strong offspring which are tough enough to take a punch or two. Besides thriving in an outdoor environment, Frisian Duck will also do well indoors. She stays fairly compact and doesn’t need much height management in order to yield well. Note that her purple tones can be a little less vivid indoors, compared to outdoor grown bud. 

Frisian Duck grows with unusually shaped leaves making it difficult to identify as traditional cannabis but making it ideal for outdoor and greenhouse growing in populated areas. The ‘Duck’ name refers to the distinctive leaf shape which looks like a duck’s footprint, especially during the first two-thirds of her life. During bloom, some upper leaves may show the more traditional cannabis shape.

What was first seen as a freaky cannabis plant about 5 years ago has now become a household name and bestseller in the Dutch Passion seed collection. The special stealthy looks make this plant a great choice for the urban outdoor cannabis grower. It is a unique cannabis plant in disguise. She is also tough and easy to grow, perfect for less experienced growers.

Frisian Duck is ready to harvest after around 8-9 weeks of bloom indoors. Outdoors she can reach maximum heights of 2-3m and is harvested around the start/middle of Autumn.

Frisian Duck produces fresh, piney and fruity/citrus leaning, tasty buds. The effects of the purple sativa flowers are quite mellow and uplifting. This variety is not the most intense and suits the grower who doesn't want the strongest psycho active experience. She gives the user a pleasurably smooth and well-balanced high, during which they will still be able to function and take care of things. Outdoor activities will become more enjoyable after smoking Frisian Duck. The high is of medium strength and duration. 

Frisian Duck doesn’t stretch or grow as tall as more Sativa dominant varieties. She is a medium to large sized plant which will almost double in size during bloom. Indoors she is quite easily controlled. Outdoors she can become a real monster, often growing into a huge Christmas tree shaped cannabis plant. Indoors, a veg period of 4-6 weeks would be sufficient to get large yielding plants.

Growing her indoors in a SOG set-up is possible and recommended for higher yields. Although she can thrive indoors, we recommend growing her outdoors as the real power lies in her outdoor potential. She really flourishes in any outdoor grow and is the perfect fit for the outdoor grower looking for a stable cannabis variety which is able to cope with long periods of bad weather. There is no need to train or crop the plants. She grows easily into a big Christmas-tree with tough stems that can hold quite some weight.

The flowering time is about 8-9 weeks. In combination with the recommended veg phase it will take around 12-15 weeks from seed to harvest.

Frisian Duck produces XXL harvests of amazing purple flowers; between 400 and 500 grams per m2  is possible. The plant will carry heavy buds that will smell like you stepped into a fresh forest!
