Seb's take

Seb Silverback

Lavender and Power Plant produce enormous yields of deep amethyst-blue buds, known locally as 'Jellyfish bud' for the colouring and the numbing effect both. Spicy and hashy on the nose with a sweet lavender note, the high is bright and energetic despite a name that promises paralysis. Something of a contradiction, honestly delivered.

Where it comes from

Lavender and Power Plant behind this one, from Cream of the Crop, a pairing that produces deep amethyst and blue buds and a name that promises rather more than the high delivers. Growers know her by a second name too, 'Jellyfish bud', earned for the striking colour and the numbing weight both. Lavender lends the perfume, Power Plant the yield and the vigour. A stunner, by the breeder's own account, and hard to argue with.

Nose & flavour

A spicy, hashy scent leads, old-fashioned and resinous, softened by a clear note of sweet lavender that the parent lends its name to. An aromatic, perfumed nose over a hashy base, more incense than fruit. Distinctive, and pleasantly so.

The high

Here the name misleads: for all the talk of paralysis, the high is bright and energetic, soaring, uplifting, happy, the sort that keeps you moving rather than pins you down. A daytime lift despite the ominous billing. Something of a contradiction, then, and an agreeable one, the bark rather worse than the bite.

Growing it

Sixty-five to seventy days in flower, returning enormous yields, the record settles on 450 g/m², over deep amethyst-and-blue buds that colour beautifully as they finish. Height is not recorded, so I'll leave it unstated. Around 22% THC. Feminized, and as much a plant to look at as to harvest. Give her the finish she needs and the colour will reward you as much as the weight.
