Seb's take

Seb Silverback

Banana Punch crossed with Z, and fierce about it — 30 to 32% THC, which took second place in the Sativa category at Spannabis 2022 despite the mostly Indica build. Wood and lemon over fruit on the nose, with a relaxed, hungry, happy high that arrives as you'd expect from something this strong: unhurried.

Where it comes from

Banana Punch crossed with Z by World Wide Cultivars, and fierce about it, a 60:40 indica hybrid that nonetheless took second place in the sativa category at Spannabis 2022, which says plenty about her terpene character. Banana Punch lends the fruit; the Z the punch. She develops a mostly indica structure on a strong central stem with productive side growth. A decorated cross, and a potent one.

Nose & flavour

Fruity-lemon at the front, with a woody base giving it a more grounded finish, bright on entry and settled underneath. The record's account matches the award: a standout terpene profile, citrus lifting the wood. A characterful nose rather than a sugary one, and clearly good enough to place at a competition of that standing. Sharp, layered, and persuasive.

The high

Relaxed, hungry and happy, a comfortable, good-humoured experience with the appetite the record notes following close behind. At a formidable 30 to 32% THC this arrives as you'd expect from something so strong: unhurried, and best treated with respect. A sipping strain, not a session one. Keep the fridge stocked and the evening clear.

Growing it

A medium plant of roughly 150cm, flowering across 56 to 70 days for 336 to 458 g/m². She builds a strong central stem with productive side growth, a mostly indica frame that carries her heavy buds well. The headline remains the potency, 30 to 32% THC is near the top of the catalogue, and a decorated one at that. A rewarding grow for someone ready to handle the strength she delivers. Not a plant to underestimate.
