Seb's take

Seb Silverback

Named for a mob enforcer's preferred farewell, and the heavy body stone makes the connection unmissable. Animal Cookies and OG Kush behind the berry, lemon and nutty sweetness on the nose; the effect is calming, sleepy and deeply physical, with the mind kept just about afloat. Compact, sticky, and generous with it.

Where it comes from

Herbies Seeds crossed Animal Cookies with OG Kush for this one, a 65% indica, 35% sativa hybrid also answering to Concrete Shoes and Concrete Slippers. The name borrows a favoured technique of the mob hitman, and the heavy body stone makes the reference unmissable; whoever christened her was not being subtle. The Animal Cookies side brings the sweetness and the density, OG Kush the backbone, and the combination has clearly kept the family talent for weight.

Nose & flavour

The nose leads with a nutty sweetness, a warm, dessert-like base, and behind it sit berry and a bright lemon lift. It is a rich, layered aroma, sweet up top with just enough sourness to keep it from cloying. The Animal Cookies parentage shows plainly here, a soft, moreish character that carries well through dense, sticky flower.

The high

The effect is a heavy, calming body stone, relaxing and sleepy, that settles over you and keeps you where you are for the evening. There is a mild uplift early on to stimulate the mind before the weight arrives, but make no mistake about the destination. This is the sitting-down sort, and you will not be needed elsewhere.

Growing it

Feminized, and by the breeder's account an easy plant to keep, forming compact frames of dense, sticky buds. Height runs roughly 100 to 150cm, flowering completes in 63 days, and indoor yields are generous at 458 to 549 g/m². The resin comes thick enough to gum up your scissors, so clean them as you go and expect a sticky finish. A rewarding grow that returns real weight for modest effort, which is rather the point of her.
