Seb's take

Seb Silverback

Pungent mango and fruit on the nose from a lineage running through Amnesia Haze and a Brazilian Manga Rosa landrace. At 90% sativa she wants the headroom outdoors — SCROG helps at 6.5 feet — and the long flowering time earns an upbeat, euphoric, creative haze buzz.

Where it comes from

Big Buddha Seeds gave Buddha Haze a distinguished lineage indeed — Amnesia Haze, G-13 and Super Silver Haze crossed with a reversed Manga Rosa, a Brazilian landrace. The record makes much of the pedigree, and rightly: three celebrated haze names plus a genuine landrace is a serious assembly. The parents blessed their child, in the breeder's phrase, with an upbeat buzz, real haze sensations and a pungent mango aroma. A 90 percent sativa, and every inch of it.

Nose & flavour

Pungent mango and fruit on the nose, the Manga Rosa landrace supplying the tropical character and the haze parentage the sharp, pungent lift. The record calls the fruity haze smell worth the long flowering time on its own, and it is a bright, room-filling profile — mango-forward, fruited and loud. Not one to travel discreetly, and not one that intends to.

The high

Upbeat, euphoric and creative — a classic haze buzz, sensational and bright, in keeping with a 90 percent sativa. The record promises an upbeat, haze-driven experience, and the effect leads firmly with the head: active, imaginative company for the daytime rather than anything sedating. A lift to keep you going, and a durable one at that.

Growing it

A long-flowering sativa, 77 to 91 days indoors — 11 to 13 weeks — and a tall one, growing to around 6.5 feet outdoors, where SCROG helps keep her in hand. Give her the headroom and the patience; the record is candid that the flowering time is considerable, though the potency and aroma repay it. Yields are modest at a stated 100 g/m², with 26% THC. Cultivation is described as easy for those with some experience behind them, comfortable indoors, out, or in a greenhouse.
