Seb's take

Seb Silverback

Purple Punch supplies the tropical sweetness here, while Geist OG — a strain Humboldt keep largely to themselves — contributes a pungency and complexity rarely seen outside private collections. The result carries both traits through to the smoke, sweet and layered without being simple about it. A cross built for flavour first.

Where it comes from

Humboldt Seeds crossed Purple Punch with Geist OG for this one, and the genetics were carefully cultivated to maximise a unique flavour profile. Purple Punch supplies much of the tropical personality and sweetness; Geist OG, a private and uncirculated strain Humboldt keep largely to themselves, contributes a very pungent aroma and a good deal of trademark complexity. A cross built flavour-first, drawing one parent from the catalogue and the other from the vault. The result carries both traits through plainly.

Nose & flavour

The record frames the aroma through its parents rather than listing notes, and I will follow it there: Purple Punch lends tropical sweetness, while the uncirculated Geist OG brings a very pungent, complex depth rarely seen outside private collections. The two together make for a sweet, layered nose that is anything but simple. A distinctive, richly composed aroma, half tropical fruit and half something darker and harder to place. Complex and moreish.

The high

The record concentrates on flavour and does not spell out the effect in experiential terms, so I will not manufacture one. What it establishes is a 65 percent indica, 35 percent sativa balance at 16 to 19 percent THC, which points toward a settled, moderately weighted experience rather than anything overpowering. I will let those figures do the talking and leave the specifics where the record left them. Approach her expecting a comfortable, indica-leaning calm.

Growing it

A tall feminized plant, reaching 300 to 400cm, so this is one for serious outdoor headroom or careful training indoors. She flowers fast for her size, in 53 to 56 days, and returns a solid 400 to 500 g/m². THC runs 16 to 19 percent, with a very low CBD reading of 0.1 percent; the genetics are 65 percent indica, 35 percent sativa. Her height is the main thing to plan around. Give her the space her size demands, and she rewards it with that carefully bred flavour and a dependable return.
