Seb's take
Purple OG, Critical and Ruderalis combined into a strain whose paperwork says mostly Sativa but whose manners say otherwise. Fruity, earthy, coffee-edged on the nose, with dark green flowers touched purple near harvest; the high opens euphoric then eases into a mellow, sitting-down calm suited to nighttime. Forgiving of enthusiasm, and ideal for first attempts.
Where it comes from
Growers Choice combined Purple OG, Critical and Ruderalis into an autoflower whose paperwork says mostly sativa — around 80% — but whose manners lean noticeably toward the soothing side. The Purple OG lends the colour, the Critical the yield and reliability, the Ruderalis the self-timing habit. A plant that reads one way on the label and behaves another, which is worth knowing before you plan the evening around her.
Nose & flavour
Fruity up front, with a bed of earth and a note of coffee beneath — a warm, slightly roasted profile rounded off by the fruit. She develops dense, dark green flowers touched with vivid purple as harvest approaches, and the nose has a matching depth to it. Grounded and comforting rather than bright.
The high
She opens with a light euphoric spark, then eases into a mellow body calm well suited to nighttime — the sitting-down sort, whatever her sativa percentage claims. Relaxed and happy throughout, drifting gently downward as the evening settles. An approachable, forgiving high that asks nothing of you but comfort.
Growing it
She flowers across 50 to 60 days and returns a modest yield of around 336 g/m², developing those dark green, purple-accented flowers as harvest nears. The record gives no height, so I will note her temperament: approachable, forgiving, and ideal for growers just getting started. A quick, good-looking autoflower that behaves more like an indica than her genetics let on — and is all the easier to live with for it.
