Seb's take

Seb Silverback

A pure Kush-region Indica, Afghan crossed with Pakistani hash genetics, and she leaves you behind the eight ball in the most pleasant sense. Wood, sweetness and earth on the nose; the high is relaxed, hungry, euphoric — the sitting-down sort. Stable, resistant, and about as demanding as a walk in the park.

Where it comes from

A pure Kush-region indica from Barney's Farm, crossing the best hash-making phenotypes of Afghanistan and Pakistan — the mountain range that produced some of the world's finest hashish. There is nothing sativa in her at all; this is landrace stock, selected and stabilised rather than hybridised. The lineage is geography as much as genetics, drawn straight from the Hindu Kush. Being behind the eight ball, in her case, is no bad place to be.

Nose & flavour

Wood and earth carry the nose, with a sweetness beneath — the classic hash-plant spread, unhurried and old-school. It reads exactly as a Kush-region indica should: grounded, resinous, faintly incense-like. No fruit or fuel to distract from the pedigree.

The high

Relaxed, hungry and euphoric — the sitting-down sort, with an appetite arriving alongside the calm. At 20 percent THC it settles with authority rather than subtlety. Once she has you in the armchair, you will not be needed elsewhere this evening.

Growing it

A short, stable plant at around 80cm, which keeps her manageable in any space. Flowering is fast at 50 to 55 days, and Barney's have stabilised her further for resistance, so she is about as demanding as a walk in the park. Yields land at 550 g/m². THC is 20 percent, with CBD at 0.6. Suited to all environments and setups, and forgiving of a grower still finding their feet.
