Seb's take

Seb Silverback

The Afghani backbone shows through in growth pattern and flowering speed alike, now delivered as an autoflower without losing the original's healing reputation. Grape and berry sweetness meet an earthy pungency, and the high wraps body and mind in a balanced, euphoric well-being. Relaxed, happy, and eventually rather sleepy.

Where it comes from

The autoflowering conversion of Purple Kush, crossed to Ruderalis for the automatic clock, and the Afghani backbone shows through at every turn, in the growth pattern and the flowering speed alike. Herbies have kept the mountain Indica's character intact through the Ruderalis, no small feat, so what arrives is recognisably Purple Kush in a smaller, self-timing package. The lineage does the talking.

Nose & flavour

Grape and berry sweetness lead, with an earthy, pungent base holding it down, a fuller, fruitier nose than the photoperiod version, the purple side coming forward. Rich and low, unmistakably Kush beneath the fruit, and none the quieter for the ruderalis in the mix.

The high

The high wraps body and mind in a balanced, euphoric ease, relaxed and happy at first, sliding toward sleepy, with an appetite arriving unbidden. A well-rounded settle rather than a one-note sedation, though sedation is where it ends up. Keep a snack to hand.

Growing it

Seventy to seventy-seven days from sprout, a patient turn for an autoflower, the Afghani heritage taking its time. She stays compact at roughly 90 to 100cm. Yields are modest at 336 g/m², at around 21% THC. Not the fastest or the heaviest auto on the shelf, then, but a faithful one; the character of the original survives the shrinking. Undemanding throughout.
