Seb's take

Seb Silverback

Named plainly for what it smells like — lavender, sweet and earthy with a pungent floral edge — this indica-dominant cross of Super Skunk, Big Skunk Korean, Afghani and Hawaiian genetics turns a striking purple-to-black before harvest. The high runs relaxed and happy without tipping into unconsciousness, useful for those treating insomnia or anxiety.

Where it comes from

Soma Seeds named this one plainly for what it smells like. It draws genetics from across the world, Super Skunk, Big Skunk Korean, Afghani and Hawaiian, an 80 percent indica cross with a global pedigree. The four-way parentage lends her the dark, exotic tones she is known for and a striking colour habit, the leaves turning purple quickly and maturing toward near-black with reddish and yellow hues. A collector's plant, assembled from far-flung stock into something distinctly its own.

Nose & flavour

Lavender, first and foremost, exactly as advertised, sweet and flowery with an earthy base and a pungent edge running underneath. It is a floral, perfumed profile grounded by the Skunk and Afghani weight, the sweetness kept honest by the pungency. A distinctive nose, and a rare one, that earns its name without any stretch. Genuinely fragrant, in the garden sense of the word.

The high

Relaxed and happy, euphoric and uplifted, drifting toward sleepy without ever tipping fully into unconsciousness. The record is specific that she helps you relax without knocking you out, which is a fair balance to strike. It is a gentle, settling effect with the lights left on, the indica weight present but never overwhelming. Restful company that leaves you present for it.

Growing it

Ideal for all kinds of growers, by the record's account, and a visual reward besides, with very dense flowering sites and calyxes in superb ratio to leaf. The colour show is the draw, dark exotic tones from purple to near-black. Flowering runs 63 to 70 days. The quoted yield is a slim 20 to 25 g/m², modest by any measure, so temper the expectations there and grow her for the aroma and the spectacle rather than the weight. THC sits at 18 percent, with CBD at 1 percent.
