Seb's take

Seb Silverback

Berry and blueberry over a pungent, sweet earth, from a Blueberry and White Widow cross bred for quick work at trim time — a high calyx-to-leaf ratio does the labour-saving here. The high is relaxed, happy, focused and euphoric, and the reward for an easy 55-day flower is yields heavy enough to test your drying space.

Where it comes from

Dinafem's Blue Widow is the near-inevitable meeting of Blueberry and White Widow, split evenly at 50 percent each way, the fruit of the one and the resin of the other, held in genuine balance rather than tipped toward either. The breeders frame her as a fine plant to learn on, which is a fair reading of a cross this stable and this forgiving. Another of the Blue-family strains, and one of the more even-handed of them.

Nose & flavour

Berry and blueberry lead, sweet and ripe, over a pungent, earthy base, the two parents each recognisable in the glass. It carries a fair distance, more pungent than discreet, but the fruit never loses the argument. A balanced nose to match a balanced plant.

The high

The 50/50 split shows in the effect as much as anywhere: relaxed and happy, but uplifted, euphoric and, usefully, focused rather than scattered. The record calls it mind-bending; I would call it lively and clear, a high that lifts without unmooring you. At 12 to 16 percent THC it is a temperate, sociable sort of strength.

Growing it

A kind plant to grow, and a quick one, 50 to 55 days in flower, reaching around 1.5m at the finish, and well suited to a sea of green. Her best trick is at harvest: a high calyx-to-leaf ratio means far less time spent trimming, which any grower who has lost an evening to scissors will appreciate. Indoor yields run past 500 g/m², 525 on the record, and outdoors she can bring in as much as 1.1kg per plant. Dense, sticky, and forgiving of enthusiasm from start to finish.
