Seb's take

Seb Silverback

Out of the Big Bomb line, resin-heavy enough to be prized for rosin and distillates alike. Sweet, fruity and berry-laden on the nose; the effect opens as an invigorating cerebral buzz before working down through arms, legs and body into full relaxation. A Christmas-tree shape that takes its time — up to ten weeks.

Where it comes from

Bomb Seeds raised Cherry Bomb out of their Big Bomb line, and like many of the Big Bomb hybrids she carries a fine set of attributes. The Big Bomb heritage lends the heavy resin production and the reliable structure, while the cherry character gives her a sweet, distinctive profile of her own. A well-bred member of a productive family, prized as much for what she yields on the scales as for what she offers in the jar.

Nose & flavour

The nose is sweet and fruity, berry-forward, a proper dessert profile carried by a rich terpene load. That sweetness makes her a favourite for terpene distillates and extracts such as rosin, the resin coming thick and aromatic. A moreish, fruit-led aroma, the sort that lingers pleasantly and hints at the extract-worthy resin behind it.

The high

The effect is well-balanced and progressive, opening as an invigorating cerebral buzz before working slowly down through the arms, legs and body. It runs relaxed, happy and creative, a bright start easing into a fuller physical calm. A rounded experience with a proper arc to it, lively at the outset and settling comfortably as it goes.

Growing it

Feminized, with a manageable medium frame between 100 and 120cm and a very typical Christmas-tree structure that trains well into a wide, flat canopy under SCRoG. She takes her time, running up to ten weeks in bloom, flowering across 56 to 70 days, with the last fortnight putting on a beautiful finish. Indoor yields are heavy at 600 to 650 g/m², and the resin comes thick enough to gum up your scissors. A generous, good-looking grow that rewards patience with weight and frost alike.
