Seb's take

Seb Silverback

Mazar and AK49 combine in Goldmine, an indica-dominant plant that grows into a tidy Christmas-tree shape without any training required. No fuss, no fireworks — just honest, strong resin at 22% THC and a finish inside ten weeks. A dependable strain, and aptly named for a straightforward yield.

Where it comes from

Heavyweight Seeds crossed Mazar with AK49 to make this indica-dominant plant, the record putting her at 70 per cent indica. Both parents, the record notes, are known for high potency and a strong, long-lasting high, so the inheritance is no accident. Mazar lends the resinous Afghan weight, AK49 the punch and the vigour. The record keeps the lineage to those two names, which between them account for the strength she carries.

Nose & flavour

On the aroma the record stays quiet, listing no flavour notes for me to relay, so I will not invent them. What the parentage suggests is the resinous, earthy character both Mazar and AK49 are known for, but that is deduction rather than description, and I will name it as such. On the specifics of the nose, the record simply keeps its counsel.

The high

The record gives no catalogue of effects, but it does credit both parents with a strong, long-lasting high, and that inheritance is the surest guide to the tenor here. An indica-dominant plant of this pedigree tends to the settling, weighty end, though I offer that as inference from the lineage rather than a description the record supplies. On the particulars, it leaves the smoker to find out.

Growing it

A dependable, no-fuss grow, and aptly named for a straightforward yield. Without any training she forms a tidy Christmas-tree shape with one main cola. Flowering runs 63 to 70 days, or nine to ten weeks; indoors she reaches 80 to 120cm, while outdoors, in warmer climates or a greenhouse, the record notes 200 or even 300cm. Yield sits at 500 to 600 g/m² indoors, or up to a kilo per plant outdoors. THC is recorded at 22 per cent with around 1 per cent CBD. Honest, and steady with it.
