Seb's take

Seb Silverback

AK-47 and White Widow combine for a sweet, sour citrus nose with a spiced grapefruit edge. Low doses bring a clear head high fit for an evening's film; more settles into a relaxed, medicinal ease through the body. Two phenotypes exist, both productive, both worth the ventilation fan.

Where it comes from

Green House cross AK-47 with White Widow here, two of the most reliable names going, folded into an eighty per cent indica. The AK-47 lends the backbone and the citrus; White Widow the resin and the vigour. The record reports two phenotypes from the cross, both equally productive and finishing on the same schedule. A dependable pairing that takes the best of both parents. Little wonder it endures.

Nose & flavour

Sweet and sour citrus lead, orange and grapefruit, bright and juicy, with a spiced edge grounding them. A cheerful, zesty nose that belies the indica weight behind it. The grapefruit does much of the talking. Fresh and approachable, and rather more lively than the ratio suggests.

The high

A low dose brings a clear head high, well suited to an evening's film; more settles into a relaxed, bodily ease. At just over fifteen per cent THC she is honest about what she is, comfortable rather than overwhelming. A gentle, sociable stone that knows how to keep company without demanding the evening.

Growing it

She flowers in fifty-six days for a heavy 750 g/m², a generous return on under two months. Expect a short-to-medium, wide and bushy plant with long lateral branches, so give her room to spread rather than climb. The thick, resin-packed flowers need good ventilation to keep mould off. Two phenotypes turn up, both productive and both finishing together, so there is little to fret over. A big yield from a well-behaved plant.
