Seb's take

Seb Silverback

Orange Cream, Purple Urkle and Cherry Pie combine for a sweet orange and citrus nose across a plant with more variety in her phenotypes than most, some tall and rangy, others squat. The high is relaxed, calming and hungry-making, and about as undemanding a grow as they come.

Where it comes from

Barney's Farm assemble Orange Sherbert from an all-star cast, Orange Cream, Purple Urkle and Cherry Pie, an 80% indica hybrid with a good deal of pedigree behind it. That varied lineage produces a range of phenotypes: some tall and rangy with wide internodal spacing, others short and squat in the classic indica mould. The Orange Cream lends the citrus, the Purple Urkle and Cherry Pie the depth and the colour. A plant with variety written into it, and quality throughout.

Nose & flavour

Sweet orange and citrus, clean and appetising, the Orange Cream parent making itself felt front and centre. It is a straightforwardly pleasant nose, ripe and zesty rather than complicated, the sweetness carrying the citrus without turning cloying. A dessert-leaning aroma that suits the name, and an easy one to sit with. Nothing about it works to impress; it simply is agreeable.

The high

An indica-led calm, relaxed and settling, with an appetite arriving to keep you company. At 24% THC it has real weight, the sort that eases you into the furniture and asks little of the evening beyond that you enjoy it. The mood is soft and unhurried rather than heavy-handed. Good company for a quiet night, and honest about wanting to be one.

Growing it

About as forgiving a grow as they come. The record is plain that she is not demanding and rarely troubled by deficiencies given a healthy feed and plenty of water, forgiving of enthusiasm in the truest sense. A manageable plant at around 100cm, she yields a heavy 650 g/m² indoors after 60 to 70 days of flower, with outdoor growers bringing in as much as 700 grams per plant. A trace 0.7% CBD rounds her out. High reward for low fuss, which is a rare and welcome combination.
