Seb's take

Seb Silverback

Sweet, floral berry on the nose from this Power Plant and Santa Maria cross. Sixty percent sativa and capable of reaching 200cm, give her the headroom and some support for the branches in the final weeks, and expect an uplifting, energetic high with relaxation arriving only afterward.

Where it comes from

Royal Queen Seeds' larger-framed Bubblegum, a 60 percent sativa hybrid crossing Power Plant with Santa Maria. The XL is no idle boast — with the Sativa heritage of both parents, she grows vigorous and bushy, and given root space and veg time can reach a genuine 200cm. The record is candid about it: this is a strain that wants room to become what its name promises. A tall, productive line for the grower with the vertical space to indulge it.

Nose & flavour

Sweet and floral with a berry note, a bright, aromatic profile in keeping with the Power Plant and Santa Maria heritage. The floral top note lifts the sweetness, and the berry rounds it out — an agreeable, room-filling scent rather than a heavy one. Clean and cheerful on the nose, the sort of profile that suits the uplifting effect that follows.

The high

Uplifting and energetic, with relaxation arriving only afterward — a sativa-led effect that leads with the lift and keeps you going. The 60 percent sativa character tells plainly: bright, active company for the daytime, with the body ease turning up in its own time rather than at the front. A working strain, not a sedating one.

Growing it

Vigorous and bushy, 80 to 140cm as a rule but capable of 200cm given the root space and veg time — give her the headroom and expect to use it. Like most sativas she prefers sunnier, warmer, drier conditions, though she does well indoors and in greenhouses. The dense, long buds may need support in the final weeks to bear their own weight. Flowering runs 56 to 63 days, yields a solid 450 to 500 g/m², with 19% THC. Plan the vertical space and the branch support before she needs them.
