Seb's take

Seb Silverback

A Burmese landrace IBL, sativa-dominant and inclined to stretch given the chance — keep vegetative time short unless you fancy the headroom. Sweet, fruity earth on the nose with a notably smooth aromatic finish, and the high runs happy, euphoric and energetic.

Where it comes from

BC Bud Depot's Burmese, a regular line built on a Burmese IBL — an inbred line stabilised from Burmese landrace stock, and sativa-dominant at a full 90 percent to 10 percent indica. The record keeps the lineage to that single, focused source, which is rather the point of an IBL: consistency bred in over generations. A classically sativa plant with a landrace heart, and the stretch to prove it.

Nose & flavour

A very aromatic smell and a smooth, sweet taste — the record's own words, and a fair summary of a clean, fruited profile. Sweet, fruity and earthy, with the smoothness the note it dwells on most. There is nothing harsh or complicated here; the appeal is a rounded, agreeable sweetness carried on a notably smooth finish. Uncomplicated and pleasant, and honest about being so.

The high

Happy, euphoric and energetic — a bright, sativa-led effect in keeping with a 90 percent sativa line. This is daytime company, active and lifting rather than sedating, the sort that keeps you moving and cheerful. The landrace sativa character tells plainly: a clean, energetic lift with little interest in the couch.

Growing it

The record's chief piece of advice is a familiar one for a sativa this dominant: do not veg her for too long, or you will meet a height problem. Give her the headroom she wants, or keep the vegetative period short to hold her in check. Flowering runs 56 to 70 days, with potency at 20 to 21% THC and a point of CBD. Height and yield are not stated, so I shall not put figures to them — manage the stretch, and the landrace heritage does the rest.
