Seb's take

Seb Silverback

Previously sold as Chocolope, this sativa-dominant cross of Chocolate Haze and OG Chocolate Thai keeps the lineage's cocoa-leaning character while trimming the flowering time down to a brisk 65 days. The record is coy on precise flavour and effect, but calls the blend of aromas delightful, which for a Haze at this potency is no small thing. Give her the headroom she'll want indoors or out.

Where it comes from

Zambeza Seeds offer Choco Candy, previously known as Chocolope, a sativa-dominant plant crossed from Chocolate Haze and OG Chocolate Thai. She keeps the cocoa-leaning character of that lineage while the breeders brought the flowering time down to about 65 days, relatively short for a Haze of this potency. A refined take on a well-known chocolate line, tidied into a more practical schedule without losing what made the original worth growing.

Nose & flavour

The record is coy on the precise terpene notes but calls the blend of aromas delightful, which for a Haze at this strength is no small compliment. Advanced smokers, it notes, will agree there are not many Haze varieties with such a pleasing spread. Drawing only on that and the chocolate heritage, expect a rich, layered nose; I will leave the exact detail to your own jar rather than invent it.

The high

The record holds back on the specifics of the effect, so I will not manufacture them. What it does state is extreme potency for the type, a Haze of real strength held in a shorter-flowering plant. Read her, then, as a substantial sativa-leaning experience, and approach the potency with due respect; the plant keeps the finer detail to itself.

Growing it

Feminized, and inclined to stretch, so give her the headroom. Indoors she reaches 100 to 150cm and yields up to 400 to 450 g/m²; outdoor and guerrilla growers will more likely see 120 to 200cm and around 400 to 500 grams per plant, depending on the climate. Flowering completes in about 65 days, notably short for a Haze at this potency. A vigorous, productive plant that rewards a grower with the vertical space and returns a Haze crop on a more forgiving timetable than most.
