Seb's take

Seb Silverback

Sour Diesel, Afghan Indica and Hawaiian Indica combine under a name borrowed from the city, with a sweet fruit taste and dense, crystal-coated buds to show for it. The high is cerebral first, sativa-bright, before settling into a mellow, stoned body. Tall enough outdoors to need the headroom, at up to 250cm.

Where it comes from

Sour Diesel, Afghan Indica and Hawaiian Indica sit behind this one, combined by Vision Seeds under a name borrowed from the city of its origins. The Sour Diesel brings the fuel and the sweetness; the two indicas ground it and lend the body. An even 50/50 split, well-travelled in its genetics, with New York stamped on the label. A cosmopolitan cross with a city's confidence.

Nose & flavour

A fantastically sweet fruit taste, by the record's account, rising from dense, crystal-coated buds. The Sour Diesel heritage lends a fuel edge underneath, but the sweetness leads — a rounder, fruitier nose than the diesel name might lead you to expect. The heavy trichome coat carries it well past the grinder.

The high

Cerebral first — a bright, sativa lift on the inhale — before it settles into a mellow, stoned body. At 18% THC the two halves are held in fair balance, which suits the even genetics. A two-act effect that opens the head and then eases the rest. Good company for an afternoon that starts busy and ends comfortable.

Growing it

Fast-maturing, and rather variable in height depending on where she is grown — a modest 70cm and up indoors, but reaching as much as 250cm in the open air, so the outdoor grower must give her the headroom. Flowering runs 70 days, with yields of 450 g/m² indoors and up to 650 outside. The record leans toward growing her under glass for control. A generous, adaptable plant that rewards a bit of planning around her reach.
