Seb's take

Seb Silverback

Haze 2.0 and Sour Diesel combine for an aroma that turns sourer and more fuel-like the moment it is lit — sour, pungent, citrus, and hard to keep quiet about. The high is focused, energetic and creative, true to the sativa heritage behind the long, slender leaves. Indoor growers can expect up to 550g/m².

Where it comes from

A cross between an autoflowering Haze 2.0 and Sour Diesel, a pairing that yields a stronger, potent autoflower with more hardiness and better resistance to whatever the weather offers. The Haze side lends vigour and the diesel side lends that unmistakable fuel note, and between them they produce a plant that grows comfortably indoors and out. A well-judged marriage, and one that keeps the sativa character of the parent intact rather than diluting it into obedience.

Nose & flavour

Distinctly fruity and herbal, with a piney edge, over sour and pungent terpenes that carry the smell of dank fuel. That diesel note turns sourer and more enticing the moment the bud is lit, which is precisely what the name promises. Citrus rounds it off. It does not travel discreetly, so keep the filter handy and your neighbours uninformed.

The high

True to the sativa heritage behind those long, slender leaves, the effect runs focused, energetic and creative. It is a daytime proposition, the kind that sharpens the mind rather than settling it, and better suited to getting something done than to an evening spent motionless. Bright, clear and purposeful, it keeps you engaged without tipping over into restlessness. A working strain, honestly.

Growing it

Hardier and more resistant than either parent, she grows comfortably indoors and out, forming the long, slender leaves of her sativa side. She takes 63 to 70 days to finish, reaching 90 to 120cm, so give her a little headroom. Indoors she can yield as much as 550 g/m², running from a base of 450. The genetics are 35 percent indica, 65 percent sativa, with THC at 21 percent. Manage the height early and the aroma throughout, and she rewards the attention handsomely.
