Seb's take

Seb Silverback

North American and Afghani genetics folded into a balanced 50/40/10 auto, carrying a name that does rather more work than the plant itself requires. Sweet spice and earth on the nose; the high opens lively and euphoric, then settles into a happy, relaxed flow. Upright, dense, and considerably better mannered than the name suggests.

Where it comes from

North American genetics and Afghani, folded onto a ruderalis line for the autoflowering habit, a 50/40/10 sativa-indica-ruderalis split that comes out remarkably balanced for all the drama of the name. The Afghani lends structure and the resin; the North American side, the lift; the ruderalis, the clock. Growers Choice have assembled a genuinely even-tempered plant and then, for reasons known only to the marketing department, given it a name you could not repeat in polite company. The plant is better mannered than its billing.

Nose & flavour

Sweet up front, with spice and earth filling in behind, an old-school profile, warm and grounded rather than fruity or sharp. It is the Afghani showing through the sweetness, and it lends the nose a settled, unhurried quality. Nothing about the aroma prepares you for the name; it is, frankly, rather civilised.

The high

Lively at the outset, euphoric and energetic, a clean lift that gets the day moving, before it settles into a happy, relaxed flow that keeps the whole thing pleasant rather than punishing. At 22% THC it has the strength to matter, but the temperament stays genial throughout. Whatever the name threatens, the experience declines to follow through on it.

Growing it

Upright and vigorous, throwing dense buds on a frame that carries its weight well. No height is recorded, so I will leave that column blank rather than fill it with a guess. Flowering runs 55 to 65 days, brisk, and typical of a well-made autoflower, and she returns a solid 488g/m² for the short calendar. An unfussy grow that rewards ordinary competence: the ruderalis keeps her hardy, the balance keeps her predictable. Bring her in on schedule and she will not embarrass you.
