Seb's take

Seb Silverback

A 50/50 G13 and Skunk cross whose name undersells the effect: a strong but not debilitating stone that sparks inspiration before easing you into a slower afternoon. Dense-budded and tough enough to shrug off pinching and topping, she rewards the grower who keeps hands on.

Where it comes from

Heavyweight Seeds built Budzilla as an even 50/50 hybrid of G13 and Skunk — and the name, for once, undersells the temperament rather than overstating it. From the G13 Haze side she takes a strong but not debilitating stone that sparks the brain with inspiration; from Skunk 14 come the heavy terpenes that carry the intense flavour. A considered pairing of two heavyweight names, aimed at weight on the scales and a genuinely functional high.

Nose & flavour

The record keeps the flavour array empty but is clear on the source: Skunk 14 provides the heavy terpenes that deliver a strong and intense flavour. So expect a pronounced, terpene-loaded profile in keeping with the skunk parentage, rather than a subtle one — I shall leave the precise notes unstated where the record does. Loud and full, by every indication, and built to make itself felt.

The high

A strong but not debilitating stone that sparks inspiration, in the record's own words — the sort of effect that slows the day and eases you into a relaxing afternoon rather than switching you off. Best not started too early, the breeder warns, since she will slow things down accordingly. Thoughtful, unhurried company that keeps the head working while the pace drops.

Growing it

Dense-budded and tough enough to shrug off pinching and topping — the record notes she is resistant to mechanical damage, so training does her no harm and produces more buds for the effort. She can be topped to grow short, useful where height is a concern, and flowers in about 8 weeks, given here as 56 days, at 100 to 130cm. Yields run a solid 500 to 550 g/m², with 22% THC and a point of CBD. Outdoors, look for a mid-October finish in northern climes.
