Seb's take

Seb Silverback

Named for the Alpujarra mountains, and about as unpretentious a stress reliever as Pyramid Seeds offer. Sweet, spiced earthiness carries the nose; the effect is relaxed, calming, happy, without asking much else of you. Honest about what it is, and content to leave it there.

Where it comes from

The record keeps her parentage to itself, no parents listed, no lineage to trace, so I will not manufacture one. The name is the only thread offered, and it points to the Alpujarra, the mountainous country of southern Spain. What the numbers tell plainly is her disposition: a 90/10 indica, about as indica as a hybrid gets, bred by Pyramid Seeds as an unpretentious, heavily relaxing plant rather than a showpiece. Honest about what it is, and content to leave it there.

Nose & flavour

Sweet and mouth-watering up front, with spice and earth filling in behind and a herbal edge to round it, a simple, satisfying nose that does not strain for complexity. The sweetness leads, the earth grounds it. Nothing ostentatious, nothing hidden: an aroma as straightforward as the plant that carries it.

The high

Relaxed, calm and happy, a gentle, settling sort of experience that eases you down without demanding much in return. At 16% THC it is moderate, well within the reach of most, and the 90% indica keeps it firmly on the restful side of the ledger. An unfussy way to let the day go, and honest about being exactly that.

Growing it

Quick and generous, which is a happy combination. Flowering closes in 49 to 56 days, brisk for the weight she carries, and the harvest lands at a solid 550g/m². Her height is variable, anywhere from 40 to 100cm, so a little observation early tells you which sort of plant you have and how much support she will want. Feminized seed keeps things clean. Between the short calendar and the forgiving temperament, she suits a grower who wants a dependable indica without a long wait or a steep learning curve.
