Seb's take

Seb Silverback

Afghan Skunk crossed with Afghan Haze, earthy and piney with a pungent, spicy-herbal skunk edge on the nose. Forgiving across growing media — organics, hydro or coco, it makes little difference — and settled at a modest 14% THC, the high runs relaxed, happy and eventually sleepy. Flowers in 9-11 weeks.

Where it comes from

Mr. Nice Seedbank crossed Afghan Skunk with Afghan Haze here, a regular line that keeps its Afghani heritage on both sides of the family. The Skunk lends the pungent body, the Haze the lift, and both carry the hardy Hindu Kush base beneath. It is a plant that, by the house's own account, tends to supersede expectations, and rewards growers of every level and every medium. A quietly excellent regular of impeccable provenance.

Nose & flavour

Earthy and piney, with a pungent, spicy-herbal skunk edge running over the top. It is a savoury, complex profile, the pine sharp above the earth, the skunk giving it a proper pungency that does not travel discreetly. A characterful nose, and one that shifts a little with the growing medium, which is part of her charm.

The high

The effect runs relaxed, happy and euphoric, with an uplifted quality early that eventually settles toward sleepy. This is a well-rounded experience that begins sociable and ends restful, good company across a stretch of evening. At a modest 14% THC it is a gentle, agreeable effect rather than an overwhelming one, easing you along rather than pinning you down.

Growing it

Fifty-six to seventy days in flower, nine to eleven weeks, with a few phenotypes possible at eight, all depending on selection and the grower's competence. She does equally well on organics, hydro or coco, the same clone recognised across media only by its flavour and scent. Yields run a solid four hundred and fifty to six hundred grams the square metre indoors, and very heavy outdoors. Height is not recorded. At 14% THC, a forgiving, adaptable plant that suits any style of grower.
