Seb's take

Seb Silverback

A landrace indica named for the Moroccan region it calls home, bred over generations to shrug off barren, rocky soil and drought alike. That hardiness translates directly to the grow room, forgiving of enthusiasm, and an honest first strain for anyone starting out.

Where it comes from

A landrace indica named for the Ketama region of Morocco's Rif mountains, long a heartland of traditional hashish. World of Seeds have kept it close to its origins, and its whole character is shaped by them, generations of thriving in barren, rocky soil and dry, arid heat. Hardiness of that kind is bred in over centuries, not bolted on, and it carries straight through to the grow room.

Nose & flavour

The record notes no specific tasting notes, but a Moroccan hashish landrace of this stripe points squarely at earthy, spiced, resinous character, the raw material of traditional hash. Expect the old-world end of the spectrum rather than anything fruity.

The high

No effect is logged, though a pure indica from this tradition points toward the physical and settling rather than the cerebral. A relaxed, sit-down sort of experience by every indication of its heritage. Best met on its own unhurried terms.

Growing it

Her desert origins make her genuinely low-maintenance, untroubled by poor soil or dry spells that would set back a fussier plant, which makes her forgiving of enthusiasm and an honest first grow. Flowering is quick at 50 to 55 days, yields a dependable 450 g/m², and THC 17%. No height figure is set down in the record. A hardy, uncomplicated plant that asks little and tolerates a beginner's mistakes gracefully.
