Seb's take

Seb Silverback

The Purps crossed with Ice, bred for quality over sheer quantity — and it shows in flowers of a jewelled reddish-purple, thick with trichomes. Best grown outdoors, where the yield turns notably more generous than her indoor showing. An indica-dominant strain at 14-19% THC, chosen for character rather than volume.

Where it comes from

Female Seeds crossed The Purps with Ice for this one, and the result was chosen for quality over sheer quantity — a deliberate decision the record is candid about. The Purps brings the deep colour and flavour, Ice the resin and structure, and the offspring carries a jewelled reddish-purple tone thick with trichomes. An indica-dominant plant selected for character rather than volume, and named without much modesty for the colour it wears.

Nose & flavour

No specific notes are set down, so I will not invent a nose for her. The record speaks instead of top-shelf quality and taste in general terms, and of an appearance that does much of the talking — reddish-purple flowers glittering with trichomes. Take the quality as reported and the precise profile as unrecorded, which is the honest position.

The high

The effect is not itemised. She is indica-dominant, and the THC is listed at 14–19% with a CBD of 0.1–0.5% — a moderate, unremarkable set of figures that suggests an agreeable rather than overwhelming experience. Beyond that the record stays quiet, and so shall I; there is no sense fabricating a character the paperwork declines to give.

Growing it

A compact plant at 40 to 80cm, quick to finish at 49 to 56 days, with a yield of 350–400 g/m² indoors. The record's notable point is that she does markedly better outdoors, where the yield climbs and the flowers are said to reach their jewelled best — useful to know for anyone with a sunny spot, particularly those pressing the resinous buds for extraction. Chosen for quality over quantity, so expect refinement rather than bulk, at 14–19% THC.
