Seb's take

Seb Silverback

Hindu Kush and Purple Afghani, combined without compromise - this is the real-deal Indica among the Kush hybrids, and Indica lovers know it by name. Sweet, fruity, earthy on the nose, with a body high that settles over you like a warm blanket, keeping both bad thoughts and physical discomfort at a respectful distance. A sipping strain, not a session one.

Where it comes from

Hindu Kush and Purple Afghani, combined without compromise; Herbies bill this as the real-deal hundred-percent Indica among a crowd of Kush hybrids, and the pedigree backs the claim. Both parents hail from the same Central Asian mountain stock, so there is no sativa dilution here, no hedge either way. Indica lovers, the record notes, know her by name. The genetics leave little doubt as to why.

Nose & flavour

Sweet and fruity over an earthy base, the classic purple-Kush signature, rich and low without being harsh. A one-of-a-kind taste, in the breeder's telling, and certainly a distinctive one: ripe fruit resting on damp earth.

The high

The effect settles over you like a warm blanket, relaxed sliding into frankly sleepy, a heavy full-body calm that keeps the mind quiet. A sipping strain, not a session one, and at the top of its THC range decidedly so. You won't be needed elsewhere this evening.

Growing it

Fifty-five days in flower, brisk for so pure an Indica, and compact at 90 to 100cm, a tidy, contained plant. Yields reach 500 g/m². THC spans a wide 20 to 27%, so the top of that band warrants respect. Feminized, and true to the short, stocky mountain habit throughout. An undemanding grow with a heavyweight result.
