Seb's take

Seb Silverback

The autoflowering sibling of Royal Queen Diamond, built on Green Poison and a ruderalis mix rather than any guarded secret this time. Tall for an autoflower, on long flexible spears of compact, resinous bud, ready in just nine weeks from seed. Shock her with cold late on and the deep green will flash purple, at 16% THC.

Where it comes from

The autoflowering counterpart to Royal Queen Diamond, though where the photoperiod original hides its pedigree, this one is named: Green Poison crossed with a ruderalis mix to bring the automatic habit. Green Poison is a quick, resinous line in its own right, and the ruderalis simply sets the calendar. The house keeps its usual talk of guarded secrets, but the parentage here is on the record, a sativa-dominant auto built for speed and quality both.

Nose & flavour

The record is characteristically tight-lipped on specifics, so I will not invent a nose it does not name. What can be said is that the buds are compact and heavily resinous, which tends to carry an aroma of some strength, and the Green Poison heritage rarely produces a shy one. Take the jar on its own terms.

The high

Sativa-dominant, by every account, which points to a brighter, more lifting character than a heavy one, in keeping with the parent line. At 16% THC with a medium CBD count it sits in the moderate range rather than the punishing. The record stops short of cataloguing the effect in detail, so I will leave it there: an even, sativa-leaning sort of experience.

Growing it

Fast and generous for an auto. She runs 90 to 120cm on long, flexible spears filled with compact, resinous bud, and turns in yields of up to 450 g/m² in just nine weeks from seed to harvest. Her deep green leaves will break into purple splashes late in flowering if you shock her with cooler temperatures, a bit of colour worth the trouble. At 16% THC, a quick, tidy grow that asks little for what it returns.
