Seb's take

Seb Silverback

Green Crack and Blackwater combine here, backcrossed for stability rather than showmanship. Earthy pine and sweet tree fruit sit under a pungent edge, with a high that runs relaxed, happy and eventually sleepy. A name with more bite than the effect actually delivers - the sitting-down sort, in the end.

Where it comes from

Green Crack and Blackwater, brought together by Cali Connection and backcrossed for stability rather than showmanship; the record's talk of BX and BX1 lines is the language of a breeder tidying up genetics, not chasing a trend. Green Crack lends the energy its name implies; Blackwater the darker, purpling Indica weight. A balancing act between a stimulant and a sedative parent.

Nose & flavour

Earthy and pungent up front, sweeter underneath, with pine and a ripe tree-fruit note giving it some brightness. A savoury-sweet nose that leans more toward the forest floor than the fruit bowl, for all the fruit in it, and none the worse for that.

The high

Despite the name's promised bite, the effect settles rather than races: uplifted and euphoric at first, happy throughout, drifting toward relaxed and eventually sleepy. More of a wind-down than a wind-up, the sitting-down sort in the end, whatever the name threatens.

Growing it

Fifty-seven to sixty-three days in flower. Neither height nor yield is recorded, so I'll describe temperament instead: a stable, backcrossed line that ought to grow true and even, the breeding having been done precisely to iron out surprises. Around 17% THC with 1% CBD. A dependable plant rather than a flashy one, which suits it well.
