Seb's take

Seb Silverback

Dutch Skunk genetics meet Mendocino, California's own contribution from cannabis's sixties heyday. Fruity and skunky on the nose; the effect is relaxing and calming, tingly enough to leave you hungry. A productive, bushy little plant, ready to harvest in as little as seven weeks.

Where it comes from

Dutch Skunk genetics meet Mendocino, California's own contribution from cannabis's sixties heyday — two celebrated strains of that era joined into a 60 percent indica by Paradise Seeds. The Skunk lends the pungency and the productivity, the Mendocino the lineage and the stimulating edge. A cross rooted in two of the more storied corners of the plant's history.

Nose & flavour

Fruity and skunky, the two notes trading off — a sweeter fruit lift over the unmistakable pungency the Skunk half brings. It is a lively, recognisable nose rather than a subtle one, and honest about its Skunk parentage. Loud in the good sense.

The high

Relaxing and calming, with a tingle running through it that tips toward hunger — a settled, agreeable effect with a stimulating thread from the Mendocino side. It eases the body while keeping a little life in the mix. Comfortable, rounded company for an evening.

Growing it

An easy plant, and a productive beast. Flowering runs 49 to 56 days, logged as seven to eight weeks, with a heavy yield of 700 g/m² and THC recorded at 16 to 20 percent. She stays small to medium and bushy, developing a thick central stem with a good few branches and large, dense, trichome-dusted buds. An excellent choice for a novice grower after big returns in short order. No height figure is given, so I will leave that unsaid.
