Seb's take

Seb Silverback

A chunkier, skunkier variation on the Real McCoy, distinguished by a distinctly pineapple character on the nose and taste. The high is very cerebral — energetic, euphoric, uplifted, and creative — true to its extreme Sativa roots. Wants a long, warm summer, and a little extra care for the heavy yields.

Where it comes from

The Flying Dutchmen describe this as a chunkier, skunkier take on their Real McCoy, crossed with Skunk #1 to add body and pungency. At 70 percent sativa it keeps the cerebral, extreme-sativa character of the McCoy line while gaining a distinctive pineapple note the parent lacks. Offered as regular seed, it is well regarded as breeding stock for crossing with other extreme sativas, a builder's strain as much as a smoker's. Honest lineage, plainly stated by the breeder.

Nose & flavour

The nose is layered, pineapple and tree fruit up top, earth and wood beneath, all carried on a skunky base that the Skunk #1 parent makes no secret of. It is a fuller, more savoury aroma than the fruit alone suggests, tropical and woody at once. Distinctive, and not the discreet sort; ventilation is wise.

The high

Very cerebral, as the record has it, energetic, euphoric, uplifted and creative, a proper extreme-sativa head high with little bodily anchor. At 22 percent THC it has the substance to sustain that lift for some time. This is daytime company for the busy-minded, the sort that gets projects started rather than abandoned. Bright, forward, and unmistakably sativa in character.

Growing it

The record quotes no height or numeric yield, so I'll not supply either, only that the yields can be heavy, and that they take a little extra care to realise fully. Flowering runs 65 to 70 days, and the plant wants a warm, sunny climate with a long summer whether grown indoors or out. A regular sativa that rewards attention rather than neglect; give it the season and the care it asks, and the harvest follows.
