Seb's take

Seb Silverback

Tutankhamon and LA Confidential, two names with rather more gravitas than the short, branchy plant they produced — though the rock-hard, resinous buds and sativa-scale yields make up for any lack of stature. Sour, fruit and earth on the nose; the high runs relaxed, happy and energetic in equal measure.

Where it comes from

Pyramid Seeds cross two names with rather more grandeur than the plant they produced, Tutankhamon and LA Confidential, a pairing they fairly call cannabis royalty. Olympia inherits the best of both: sativa-scale yields hung on a compact indica frame. A balanced 50/50 hybrid, short and branchy, it makes up in productivity what it lacks in stature. The regal parentage sets a high bar; the plant, sensibly, meets it in the harvest rather than the height.

Nose & flavour

Sour and fruity to lead, with an earthy weight grounding it, a bright, tangy nose set on a solid base. Nothing ostentatious, but well-composed, the fruit and the sourness playing off one another over the earth beneath. A rounded, agreeable aroma that suits the even-handed hybrid behind it.

The high

A properly balanced high, as the even split promises, relaxed and happy through the body, with enough energy to keep matters from tipping into sleep. At 19% THC it is substantial without being overbearing, versatile enough for daytime or evening depending on the measure. The kind of composed, middle-of-the-road experience that asks nothing of you and gives back steadily.

Growing it

Short and branchy, holding to 90 to 150cm, with rock-hard, resinous buds packed onto a compact frame. She suits any growing medium, which broadens her appeal, and finishes flower in 55 to 60 days. Indoors she averages over 500 g/m² under a 600-watt light with proper ventilation; outdoors, the record puts her at anywhere from 500 grams to a full kilo per plant. A trace 1% CBD accompanies the THC. The production is the headline here, considerable value for a plant of such modest stature.
