Seb's take
South African Sativa, Purple Indica and Indian Sativa combine in a plant bred, unusually, for northern outdoor climates rather than the tropics. Apple, mint, berry and citrus with a spiced herbal edge on the nose; the high is creative, energetic and uplifted throughout. Vigorous and resinous regardless of the weather she's given.
Where it comes from
Mandala Seeds assembled three parents here: South African Sativa, Purple Indica and Indian Sativa. The result is bred, unusually, for northern outdoor climates rather than the tropics its sativa heritage might suggest — the record names it the number one strain for outdoor growing in northern conditions. An incredibly vigorous, high-yielding plant that throws thick, resinous buds even in poor weather. Heritage from two continents, tuned for a cold garden.
Nose & flavour
A busy, bright nose: apple and mint at the top, berry and citrus behind, with a spiced, herbal edge underneath. More fruit bowl than fuel here, the mint lending it an unusual freshness and the spice keeping it grounded. A varied, aromatic profile with something happening at every level — far from one-note.
The high
Creative and euphoric, happy and energetic, uplifted throughout — a bright, engaged effect that keeps the head lively rather than heavy, in keeping with the sativa lean of its parentage. Company for getting on with things and enjoying them, the sort that lifts the mood as much as the mind. Cheerful and unclouded.
Growing it
Flowering is quick at 55 to 60 days, with a solid 450 g/m² yield and THC recorded at 18 to 21%, alongside 0.2% CBD. Highly adaptable indoors and out, she takes well to Sea of Green, packing plants closer for a bigger return and a quicker turnaround under a 12/12 schedule. Her real distinction is the outdoor hardiness — vigorous and resinous even in the worst conditions, forgiving of a cold, unkind season. A dependable plant for a northern garden.
