Seb's take

Seb Silverback

Musk, florals, and citrus from a three-way cross of Power Plant, Afghani, and Jack Herer — good company to keep. The high lifts first, energetic and uplifting, before easing into a relaxed close. True to the name, Five-O is among the fastest to show up, finishing flower in just 7-8 weeks.

Where it comes from

A three-way cross of Power Plant, Afghani, and Jack Herer, Blackskull selecting a fast-finishing Power Plant phenotype and setting it against two of the more storied names in the catalogue. The Afghani lends the Indica weight and the 70 percent lean; Jack Herer lends the pedigree and the brightness; the Power Plant lends the speed. Good company to keep, and a lineage assembled with production and finishing time squarely in mind.

Nose & flavour

Musk and florals lead, lifted by a clean citrus edge, a more perfumed nose than the Indica lean might suggest, courtesy of the Jack Herer side. It reads bright and slightly sweet, with the muskiness giving it body. A well-balanced aroma that leans toward the pleasant rather than the pungent, and travels better for it.

The high

The lift comes first, energetic and uplifting, the Jack Herer influence showing early, before it eases into a relaxed close. At 15 to 20 percent THC it is approachable rather than overwhelming, a plant for daytime that knows when to sit down. Bright at the start, settled at the finish, and agreeable throughout the arc between them.

Growing it

True to the name, Five-O is among the first to show up, flowering wraps in just seven to eight weeks. She holds a manageable 80 to 120cm and gives back around 500 g/m², or up to 100 grams per plant indoors and 350 outdoors. Suited to both settings, and undemanding for the return. The fast finish is the headline; a grower short on time will find little to complain about, provided the tools are clean at harvest.
