Seb's take

Seb Silverback

Afghan crossed with Skunk #1 and steadied by Ruderalis, resin production undiminished by the shortcut. Earth, wood and pine on the nose with a peppery, herbal edge; the high is sleepy and relaxed, with a euphoric, tingly, hungry undertow. Honest about what it is.

Where it comes from

VIP Seeds describe this as a perfect cross of Afghanistan's own stock with the original Skunk #1, steadied by an autoflowering line, seventy percent Indica to thirty Sativa. The Afghan lends the weight and the resin, the Skunk the pungency, the auto habit the convenience. The house's claim is that she produces as much resin as a photoperiod plant would, which is a bold thing to assert and, if true, a considerable achievement for the type.

Nose & flavour

Earthy and woody, with pine, a peppery edge and a spicy, herbal pungency running through, a savoury and complex profile drawn straight from the Afghan-Skunk lineage. There is nothing timid about it; the pepper and pine sharpen the earth, the whole thing carried with proper conviction. A characterful nose that leans savoury rather than sweet.

The high

Sleepy and relaxed at the core, with a euphoric, tingly, hungry undertow keeping it from turning flat. This is evening company, the settling Indica sort, though the appetite it brings is worth a plan of its own. At 17 to 19% THC it is a solid, honest effect. Honest about what it is, in short, and content to be exactly that.

Growing it

Fifty-five to sixty-five days in flower, a standard auto turn, returning a modest three hundred and fifty grams the square metre. Height is not recorded, so I will leave her frame undescribed. Her headline virtue is the resin: the breeders claim she matches a photoperiod plant for it, which if borne out is remarkable for an auto. At 17 to 19% THC she is a dependable, resinous Indica. A straightforward grow that keeps its promises modest and largely keeps them.
