Seb's take

Seb Silverback

Bred from Indian and British Indian landrace stock for concentrate producers rather than casual smokers, and the resin backs that up — expect your scissors to gum up before the job's done. Flowering finishes in as little as six weeks, at 20% THC.

Where it comes from

Dr Krippling built this one from Indian and British Indian landrace stock, and built it with a clear purpose: concentrate. She is nearly pure indica, 95 percent, bred to pack on resin rather than to please a casual smoker. The record is frank that she is aimed at hash and wax producers first. A landrace-rooted plant with a single-minded design brief, and the trichomes to back it.

Nose & flavour

No tasting notes are recorded, which fits a plant bred for extract over flower, but landrace indica stock of this kind runs earthy, hashy and spicy rather than sweet. Expect a dense, resinous, old-world aroma. The record's real interest is in the volume of that resin rather than its precise scent, and on that count she delivers.

The high

At a listed 20 percent THC from a 95 percent indica, read her as a heavy, settling effect, the sort that keeps you seated. No specific notes are given, but the near-pure indica lineage points firmly toward the calm, weighty end of things rather than anything bright. A plant, and a smoke, for winding all the way down.

Growing it

The headline is resin: she throws so many trichomes that the record warns your scissors will gum up and stop cutting before the job is done, so keep a second pair and clean them as you go. Flowering is genuinely fast, as little as six weeks, forty-two to fifty-six days. Yields run a wide 400 to 800 g/m², and the record suggests 11-litre containers suit her. Bred for concentrate, she is best judged by the weight of resin she carries rather than the flower alone.
