Seb's take

Seb Silverback

An amped take on 1980s Cali-O genetics, mostly California Orange in character with a nose of freshly squeezed orange juice. At 15% THC the effect is moderate and therapeutic rather than overwhelming, from a 50/50 hybrid that reaches up to 180cm and asks little in return.

Where it comes from

Vision Seeds offer this as an amped take on Cali-O, the legendary 1980s genetics, built chiefly from California Orange. A fifty-fifty hybrid that keeps the parent's celebrated citrus while adding a little in taste and quantity. The heritage goes back a good four decades, and the fruit has survived the journey intact.

Nose & flavour

Freshly squeezed orange juice, plainly and pleasantly, the California Orange parent making itself known exactly as you would hope. Sweet-smelling buds of a quality the record rates above the strain's modest yield. A clean, bright, unmistakably citrus nose.

The high

A moderate fifteen per cent THC, which keeps the effect even-handed rather than overwhelming, suited to daytime or evening without tipping the balance either way. An approachable lift, honest about what it is, from a genuinely fifty-fifty hybrid.

Growing it

Easy-going and adaptable, at home indoors, outdoors, or in a greenhouse. The record notes around 120cm, though she can reach as tall as 180cm given her head, so allow for the range. Flowering in 63 days for about 400 g/m², not the largest crop going, but prized for the quality and scent of what she does give.
