Seb's take

Seb Silverback

Kandy Kush lent to a CBD-rich collaboration between Dutch Passion and the CBD Crew, with ratios running as high as 4:1 CBD to THC. Woody, nutty and earthy on the nose; the effect is happy and relaxed, medicinal in character, and quick about it with a nine-week flower. Stays a modest 100cm tall throughout.

Where it comes from

This is a collaboration between Dutch Passion and the CBD Crew, built on a Kandy Kush crossed to a CBD-rich line. The aim was a plant weighted toward CBD, and it delivers, ratios running from one-to-one as high as four-to-one, CBD ahead of THC. Two well-regarded houses working together, then, toward a high-CBD result from a recognisable Kush base. A deliberate, jointly-bred plant rather than a happy find.

Nose & flavour

Woody and nutty with an earthy base, a savoury, grounded nose rather than a sweet one, in keeping with its Kush parentage. The record calls the flavour mixed and satisfying, and it leans classic and green. Comfortable rather than showy.

The high

Happy and relaxed, and clear with it, with THC from 7 to 15 percent set against 8 percent CBD, and ratios that can tip well toward the CBD, this stays gentle rather than heavy. An easy, even-handed effect that softens the edges without clouding the head. Agreeable company across most of the day.

Growing it

Quick for the type, a nine-week flower, around 63 days, staying to a manageable 100cm and growing happily indoors, outdoors or in a greenhouse. The record notes good yields without putting a figure on them, so I shall not invent one, at 7 to 15 percent THC against 8 percent CBD. Versatile and compact, she is a straightforward grow for anyone after a high-CBD crop with a rapid turnaround. Few demands, and a dependable finish.
