Seb's take

Seb Silverback

Paradise Seeds keep Pandora's exact contents sealed — a curious choice of secrecy, given the name. She stays under a metre, a neat Christmas-tree shape with a single main cola thick with resin and orange hairs. Rumoured Sensi Star and Spoetnik heritage; a tidy, undemonstrative autoflower either way.

Where it comes from

Paradise Seeds keep Pandora's exact contents sealed, which is a curious choice of secrecy given the name she carries. They will say she is 70 percent indica, which her characteristics and effects bear out, and the rumoured heritage points to Spoetnik, Sensi Star and ruderalis behind the autoflowering frame. Whatever is inside the box, the plant behaves consistently: a tidy, undemonstrative auto that does not need its parentage advertised to earn a place on the bench. Sometimes the mystery is the marketing.

Nose & flavour

The record gives no flavour notes, and with the genetics deliberately kept hidden I will not invent any. What it does describe is a bud covered in thin orange hairs and dense with trichomes, on a plant with a good leaf-to-bud ratio, which points to a resinous, aromatic finish even if the specific notes go unlisted. A frosty, well-formed flower, on the evidence given, with the aroma left for the grower to discover.

The high

The record does not spell out the effect beyond confirming the plant's clearly indica character, so I will not manufacture a detailed profile. At 15 to 19 percent THC on a 70 percent indica frame, a settled, relaxing experience is the fair expectation, weighted toward the body rather than the head. I will let the genetics speak and leave the specifics where the record left them. Approach her expecting calm rather than lift.

Growing it

An autoflower that finishes flowering in eight to nine weeks from seed, rarely exceeding 100cm indoors or out, though the record lists her at 120cm. Left untrained she forms a standard Christmas-tree shape, one main cola with several well-filled branches. Indoors she returns a solid 400 g/m², with outdoor plants exceeding 100g each. THC runs 15 to 19 percent. Her good leaf-to-bud ratio makes for an easy trim. A neat, compact, well-behaved auto that asks very little of whoever is minding her.
