Seb's take

Seb Silverback

Critical Mass crossed with Ruderalis for the shortcut, reaching harvest in nine to ten weeks without much sacrifice — 400 to 500g/m² from a plant that stays under a metre. Sweet, fruity earth on the nose; the high is relaxed, happy and euphoric, honest about what it is.

Where it comes from

Critical Mass crossed with Ruderalis, the well-worn path to an autoflowering version of a popular plant — Advanced Seeds' work here. The Ruderalis supplies the automatic habit and the shortened calendar; Critical Mass supplies everything else, which is to say the yield and the character it is famous for. A straightforward, honest cross that trades little for the convenience it gains.

Nose & flavour

Sweet and fruity up front, with a grounding earthiness beneath — a clean, uncomplicated nose that carries the Critical Mass sweetness faithfully. Nothing elaborate about it, and no need for elaboration; the sweetness leads, the earth anchors, and the fruit ties the two together. Honest about what it is.

The high

Relaxed, happy and euphoric — a gentle, agreeable experience that neither overwhelms nor underdelivers. The fourteen percent THC keeps things approachable, the five percent CBD lending a little extra composure. A pleasant, even-keeled effect, well suited to unwinding without any drama attached. Undramatic, and content to be so.

Growing it

From seed to use in nine to ten weeks — flowering runs sixty to seventy days — with the plant staying under a metre, somewhere between eighty and a hundred centimetres. That compact frame makes it a fine choice for limited space. Yields reach 400 to 500g per square metre indoors. Newer growers are well served by a soilless medium such as coco coir with a little vermiculite, topped up gradually to keep drainage consistent and airflow high. A forgiving, space-friendly grow, and a productive one for its size.
