Seb's take

Seb Silverback

Dark Star brings Purple Kush out of the Mazar-i-Sharif line, AK-49 brings its AK-47 relations — between them a pedigree with more attitude than paperwork. At 19–20% THC the effect leans relaxed and uplifting, happy enough to lift a low mood, calm enough to end the day.

Where it comes from

The parentage is written into the name. Dark Star brings Purple Kush down from the Mazar-i-Sharif line; AK-49 brings its own relation to the AK-47. Between them sits a lineage with rather more attitude than paperwork, two strong indicas stacked into a plant that runs 90 percent indica overall. Vision Seeds have leaned hard into the heavy side of the family here, and the names alone tell you which way she leans.

Nose & flavour

The record offers no specific notes, so temperament stands in for them: a near-pure indica out of Kush and Afghan-line stock tends toward the earthy, hashy and resinous rather than the sweet or fruity. Expect something dense and grounded on the nose. Little is promised, but the pedigree points firmly toward the darker, richer end of the aroma range.

The high

Relaxed first and foremost, with an uplifting, happy lift that keeps it from turning purely heavy: enough to brighten a flat mood, enough to settle you when the day is done. At 19 to 20 percent THC and 90 percent indica, this is squarely an evening plant. A calm, comfortable effect rather than a busy one, and easy to sink into.

Growing it

The yield is the story: a substantial 750 to 950 g/m² indoors, which is heavy by any measure. Flowering runs a tidy sixty days. No height figure appears in the record, but a 90 percent indica will tend to stay short and stocky, so read her that way and support those loaded branches all the same. THC sits at 19 to 20 percent. A generous, quick-finishing indica that asks mainly for a firm hand under the weight she puts on.
