Seb's take

Seb Silverback

Pine, fruit and earth on the nose from a lineage stacking Grandaddy Purple, OG Kush and pre-98 Bubba Kush. She stays under 1.5 metres and flowers in under eight weeks. The effect that follows is sleepy, relaxed and calming — best not scheduled before anything requiring you upright.

Where it comes from

Dutch Passion stacked three heavy indica names into this one: Grandaddy Purple, OG Kush and a pre-98 Bubba Kush. The record leans on the nautical theme of the name, inviting you to set sail, though the genetics do most of the talking — a relaxing, rewarding line built for a short cycle and a beautiful finish. Drop the temperatures towards the end of flower, the breeder advises, and she rewards it with a run of autumn colours. A top-shelf result assembled from three of the more decorated indica pedigrees going.

Nose & flavour

Pine, fruit and earth on the nose, a clean and resinous combination that reflects the Grandaddy Purple and Kush heritage stacked behind it. The earthy note leads, the pine cuts through it, and the fruit softens the whole. A composed, cool-weather profile that only deepens if you take the record's advice and let the temperatures fall for the finish.

The high

Sleepy, relaxed and calming — the effect runs firmly indica, best not scheduled before anything requiring you upright. There is no scramble to it; the three-way indica lineage settles the matter quietly and keeps you seated. Comfortable, unhurried company for the end of a day, and no earlier.

Growing it

Short and quick: she stays under 1.5 metres, around 100cm, which the record notes makes her a natural for a sea of green under powerful lighting. Flowering is a brisk 49 to 53 days — less than 7.5 weeks — and an experienced grower can complete the whole cycle in under 12 weeks. Yields run 300 to 400 g/m², a modest but honest return, with potency at 22 to 26% THC. The record even offers the water figures: a maximum EC of 1.4 in veg and 1.8 in flower. Drop the temperature at the end for the colour.
