💎 Preserving Great Genetics
Double Platinum is a preservation-forward feminized seed release for people who actually care about genetic integrity—not hype cycles. This cross from GrowPup Seeds, released exclusively through TexanHemp, is a true S1 of Platinum Truffles #7, a proven cut with commercial viability and breeding potential.
If Platinum Truffles caught your attention for its sharp chemical edge, athletic-rubber funk, and unmistakably modern profile, Double Platinum is the most direct way to stay in that lane if you don't have the clone itself.
This isn’t a remix or a re-interpretation. It’s a deliberate selfing designed to preserve what made the original cut compelling in the first place.
You can find the release directly on the product page for Double Platinum – 6 Seeds, but before you decide if it belongs in your collection, it’s worth understanding why this cross exists and what it’s actually expected to deliver.
👨🔬 Why this cross matters
S1 releases are easy to misunderstand. They aren’t about adding new traits—they’re about stabilizing and preserving existing ones. In this case, GrowPup Seeds took Platinum Truffles #7 and crossed it back to itself, producing a "selfed" seed release, which subsequently locked in those elite characteristics.
"It was created by crossing Platinum Truffles #7 back to itself, making it an S1 for preservation purposes.”
For collectors, preservation drops like this matter because they sit at the intersection of availability and fidelity. Elite cuts don’t stay accessible forever. Shit happens. Things die. Things get lost. An S1 release—when done intentionally—can capture a narrow genetic window and keep it alive in seed form.
When you find a good one, you lock her down. That's what happened.
🧬 Lineage breakdown
Double Platinum’s lineage is straightforward on the surface and layered underneath.
Platinum Truffles itself traces back to work done by Fresh Coast Seed Co, and its lineage has been widely documented.
According to SeedFinder, “Lineage: Platinum Kush Breath Remix x Gorilla Butter (White Truffle cut).” (SeedFinder.eu)
Platinum Kush Breath Remix comes from In House Genetics and brings together Platinum and OGKB v2.1, anchoring the line in dense structure, heavy frost, and modern dessert-leaning chem profiles.
Gorilla Butter—better known through its White Truffle cut—adds a savory, funky backbone that’s become a reference point in contemporary breeding.
As HENDRX notes when discussing that cut, “The White Truffle cut was selected from the Gorilla Butter seed by Beleaf who phenotype hunted the pack and named the clone.” (HENDRX)
Double Platinum doesn’t introduce new ancestry beyond this. It doubles down on it, narrowing the genetic focus.
👨👩👦 What the parents are known for
Understanding Double Platinum requires understanding Platinum Truffles as a genetic source.
Platinum Truffles has earned its reputation for loud, unconventional aromatics and a distinctly modern feel. It’s not fruit-forward in a traditional sense, and it doesn’t lean creamy or floral. Its appeal comes from sharper sensory lanes—chemical, rubbery, and savory elements that feel closer to fresh athletic gear or industrial fumes than dessert pastry.
“Loud. Super new shoes, tennis balls, chemical fumes, pepper.”
Upstream, the White Truffle influence helps explain where some of that savory edge comes from. Cultivar references consistently describe White Truffle as expressing earthy, spicy, and funky notes rather than sweetness, with Glacier Canna highlighting its grounding, umami-adjacent character.
Meanwhile, Platinum Kush Breath Remix contributes structure, frost, and the “platinum” aesthetic—tight flower formation and visual appeal that has made Platinum-named lines so popular among breeders and collectors alike.
As for the actual Platinum Truffles #7 cut, she's exceptionally frosty and gets dark purple with beautiful tight nugs. She's got longer internodal spacing, but it really helps with mold potential, increases airflow and heavily reduces defoliation needs. Being a "looker", she looks good if taken to maturity or if you're forced to harvest early.
🏆 What this seed line is expected to deliver
Across the line, you can reasonably expect:
A spectrum that includes chemical, rubber, pepper, and savory notes
High visual appeal tied to its Platinum Truffles origin
Structural consistency leaning tall with solid yield potential full of frost
Purple and green phenotypes
Some phenos may lean harder into the “new shoes” and tennis-ball rubber notes. Others may show more peppery or gaseous expressions. Some will be solid purple, others pure green.
As with S1 seeds, this line is all feminized, or all female.
That doesn’t mean uniformity in the absolute sense—but it does mean fewer surprises.
🙋♂️ What type of person buys Double Platinum
Double Platinum is a smart pick for:
Collectors who value preservation-focused releases
Fans of Platinum Truffles looking for a seed-based option
Buyers who prefer sharp, chemical-forward profiles over sweet or dessert-heavy lines
This isn’t positioned as a beginner-friendly novelty or a mass-market flavor chase. It’s a targeted release for people who already know what they like—and want more of that, not something adjacent.
If you’ve been following the broader Platinum Seed Drop from GrowPup Seeds, including releases like Platinum Rainbows and Platinum Pineapple Breeze, Double Platinum represents the most conservative—and arguably most disciplined—offering in the lineup.
