How to grow El Alquimista

70% indica - 30% sativa
El Alquimista — Samsara Seeds

Seb's take

Seb Silverback

Northern Lights and AK-47 combined by Samsara Seeds under a name that means 'the Alchemist' — appropriately, since the mix turns out rather more than the sum of its parts. Earthy, spiced nose; the high is euphoric and has tested past 21%. A cooler climate rewards her with a proper display of autumn colour.

Growing El Alquimista: what to expect

Feminized photoperiod stock. You control when she flowers, which is a responsibility as much as a convenience; the light schedule guide keeps you on the right side of it.

Flowering is done in roughly 8 weeks. The calendar will suit the impatient; the flowering notes will suit everyone.

Expect 440 g/m² — a working grower's yield, reliable rather than theatrical. The harvest guide will see it in safely.

Listed at 21% THC — potent, verifiably. The figure comes from the breeder's testing, not from our enthusiasm.
