Seb's take

Seb Silverback

Citrus, fruit and sweetness over an earthy base, from a California Orange and Hash Plant cross. Forgiving of enthusiasm from beginner to veteran, she stays short with good branch management and finishes indoors in seven to eight weeks, the effect settling into relaxing, euphoric and happy territory.

Where it comes from

Sensi Seeds brought California Orange together with Hash Plant, pairing the citrus brightness of the one against the resinous, earthy weight of the other, sixty-five percent indica in the final reckoning. It is a marriage of a fruit and a workhorse, and both sides show through clearly. Sensi being Sensi, the stabilisation is dependable; you get what the parents promise, seed after seed.

Nose & flavour

Citrus and fruit lead, sweet across the middle, with an earthy base beneath keeping it grounded, the two parents having their say in turn. A pleasant, rounded nose that leans bright rather than heavy, and an easy one to like.

The high

Relaxing, euphoric and happy, an even-handed, agreeable effect at a moderate 15 to 18 percent THC. Nothing that demands the evening, simply an easy settling with a lift to it. Good company for most hours, and no trouble to anyone who prefers to keep their feet.

Growing it

One of the more forgiving plants on the shelf, easy enough indoors for a first-timer, rewarding enough for a veteran. She stays short with tidy branch management, and finishes fast at seven to eight weeks, which suits a short summer or an impatient grower. Yields are heavy for the frame, the buds dense and resinous with long pistils filling the main stem. THC sits at 15 to 18 percent. No height figure is recorded, but her habit is compact and well-behaved.
