Seb's take

Seb Silverback

Critical Bilbo — a decorated Spanish competitor — crossed with Hog's Breath, a High Times Cup winner in its own right; the apple hasn't fallen far. Earthy and woody on the nose, with pungent, citrus-flowery notes; the high is relaxed and happy, euphoric before it turns properly sleepy. An eight-week flowerer, and forgiving of enthusiasm.

Where it comes from

T.H. Seeds bred this from two decorated parents — Critical Bilbo, a winner of numerous Spanish competitions, and Hog's Breath, a High Times Indica Cup winner in its own right. The apple, as the record dryly notes, does not fall far from the tree. An indica-dominant photoperiod plant carrying awards on both sides of the family, and living up to the pedigree without much prompting.

Nose & flavour

Earthy and woody on the nose, with pungent, flowery notes and a citrus edge running through. A full, grounded profile — more forest floor than fruit stall — with just enough brightness up top to lift it. A classic, unhurried aroma that suits the indica weight behind it.

The high

Relaxed and happy, euphoric at the top before it turns properly sleepy at the bottom — a gentle arc from cheerful to restful. She lifts you first and settles you after, which makes for good company across a long evening. Uplifting to start, and the sitting-down sort by the finish.

Growing it

An eight-week flowerer, finishing in around 56 days, reaching 120 to 140cm and delivering over 550 g/m² — the record puts her top yield in a 350 to 550 g/m² band. Ideal for the beginner: a hardy plant that yields thick, dense colas without fail. A sea of green boosts the harvest and evens the canopy nicely. Decorated parentage, forgiving temperament, and a reliable return — a rare and welcome combination.
