Seb's take

Seb Silverback

Skunk #1 out of a Californian indica, and the cross shows in a sweet, honeyed berry nose with a pungent skunk backbone. The high leans cerebral before settling: focused and euphoric first, relaxed and sleepy after. Medium in height, with large flowers that will gum up your scissors.

Where it comes from

Barney's Farm crossed Skunk #1 with a Californian indica for this one — the ever-dependable Skunk on one side supplying vigour and that unmistakable pungency, a west-coast indica on the other lending body and colour. It comes out 70% indica, and the cherry-berry of the name is a matter of nose rather than genealogy. A tidy, classic pairing: a legendary hybrid crossed onto solid indica stock to produce something fragrant, compact and productive.

Nose & flavour

The nose is the draw — sweet and honeyed with a clear berry note leading, all sat over an earthy base and backed by an unmistakable Skunk pungency. Candy-sweet at the top, proper skunk underneath, which keeps it from being merely sugary. A well-balanced, moreish profile that smells rather better than a 70% indica has any need to.

The high

The effect leans cerebral to begin — focused and euphoric, brighter than the indica frame would suggest — before settling into the relaxed, happy and finally sleepy weight the genetics promise. A two-part evening, then: engaged first, sunk into the cushions later. At 18% THC with 1.2% CBD, potent enough to notice without being punishing.

Growing it

A compact plant at 80 to 90cm, which suits a tent or a modest space, with large flowers that drip resin and will gum up your scissors at trim. Flowering runs 55 to 60 days and the yield is a solid 550 g/m² — generous for her stature. There is nothing demanding in her make-up: she stays short, finishes on time and dresses heavily for the occasion. Keep the shears clean and she will reward the care.
