Seb's take

Seb Silverback

Lemon Skunk crossed with the Jew Gold cut, and the citrus inheritance shows: sharp, dank and herbal on the nose. The high runs uplifting into euphoric before settling into a body sleepiness, in a plant that shrugs off mould and tolerates whatever training you throw at it — forgiving of enthusiasm.

Where it comes from

Lemon Skunk crossed with the Jew Gold cut by DNA Genetics, and the citrus inheritance is no secret. The record puts her at 60 per cent indica, and calls her a perfect combination of both parents, taking the best traits from each. Lemon Skunk supplies the sharp citrus and the skunk backbone, the Jew Gold clone the structure and the resin. A tidy piece of breeding, and the lemon in the name is honestly earned from the Skunk side.

Nose & flavour

The record lays the nose out in full: earthy, woody and citrusy with piney undertones on the smell, then fruity, sweet, sour and lemony on the taste, with hints of spice and herb. The strain's own name tells you where the centre of gravity sits, and the citrus does lead, sharp and dank, with the earth and pine grounding it. A layered, characterful profile from smell through to exhale.

The high

The record calls the effect well-balanced: uplifting and cerebral up top, a body buzz beneath, easing into a relaxing, calming close. So it lifts before it settles, euphoria giving way in time to a settled sleepiness. A rounded, two-part high rather than a single note, agreeable across its length. Pleasant company for an unhurried evening that has nowhere it needs to be.

Growing it

A forgiving plant, and the record is generous about why: great resistance to mould and mildew, and a temperament that shrugs off whatever training you throw at it, which suits beginner and veteran alike. Flowering finishes fast, in eight to nine weeks, and she can double or triple in size in flower, so mind the stretch; in optimal outdoor conditions the record notes up to 200cm and 800 grams per plant. Indoor yield sits at 450 to 550 g/m². THC is recorded at 1 per cent.
