Seb's take

Seb Silverback

Mac 1 supplies the resinous weight, 1994 Jack Herer the clear-headed lift — Mac N' Jack R1 runs on both at once. Citrus and incense over a woody, lemon base give way to a high that stays uplifting, focused and energetic rather than heavy. Frosted colas throughout; she looks as sharp as she smokes.

Where it comes from

Ethos Genetics crossed Mac 1 with a 1994 cut of Jack Herer, a 20/80 sativa pairing with a clear division of duties. The Jack Herer supplies clear-headed euphoria; the Mac 1 supplies resinous weight and a silky potency. Pure electric energy combined with top-shelf potency, the record has it — a plant built to run on both its parents at once rather than favour either.

Nose & flavour

Wood and earth at the base, lemon brightening the top, and a terpene profile the record describes as strong citrus and incense — a sharp, aromatic nose with a resinous, almost devotional depth to it. The incense note is the distinctive part, lending the citrus an unusual character. Bright and grounded at once, and far from ordinary.

The high

Uplifting, focused and energetic — electricity, pure and simple, the record calls it, a clear-headed lift that keeps the head switched on rather than clouded. It runs bright and active rather than heavy, the Jack Herer parentage staying firmly in charge. Company for getting on with things, sharp and unmuddled throughout.

Growing it

Flowering runs 63 to 70 days, and she throws sky-popping colas of frosted, resin-coated nugs — so she looks as sharp as she smokes. No height or yield figures are recorded, so judge the frame by eye and train to the space you have rather than to a number. THC comes in at a considerable 25 to 30%, with 1% CBD. The heavy frost means clean scissors will not stay clean for long. A striking, resinous plant with a clear-headed reward.
