Triple Platinum

Triple Platinum is a cross between Double Platinum and Chem D, and this is clearly reflected in the buds. The nuggets are compact and grape-shaped, olive green in color with a few orange hairs here and there. What really stands out is the thick layer of trichomes covering the buds—it almost looks as if they are sitting under a thin layer of ice. That shimmer is exactly where the name comes from, and it immediately says something about the quality of the plant.

The scent of Triple Platinum is robust and present. There is a sweet, fruity undertone, but this is quickly followed by an earthy, hash-like depth with a hint of herbs and spices. The taste complements this nicely: when smoking, you first taste something sweet and fruity, followed by a slightly earthy and hash-like aftertaste. It is a combination that immediately appeals to many people, especially if you like classic, full flavors.

The effect of Triple Platinum is typically indica. It starts with a slight mental excitement, but that soon gives way to deep physical relaxation. You feel your muscles loosen and a calm, floating sensation takes over. This is a strain that works best during quiet moments, when you have the time to simply do nothing.
