Seb's take

Seb Silverback

Bred in collaboration with the mythical Urban Remo out of University of British Columbia stock, Remo Chemo is a self-cross that keeps its own good name. Earthy, black-peppered on the nose, with a narcotic high at 24% THC that arrives with genuinely psychoactive moments. A hardy indica built for dry climates, unbothered by topping or defoliation.

Where it comes from

Dinafem list this as a self-cross — Remo Chemo bred back to itself to fix its traits — and the record traces the line to a collaboration with Urban Remo, a near-mythical figure among growers, working from strain development stock out of the University of British Columbia in Canada. A Canadian pedigree, in short, stabilised by a well-regarded hand. The self-cross keeps the character consistent from seed to seed, which is rather the point of the exercise.

Nose & flavour

The record gives a clear and unusual note: earthy, with a distinct black-pepper edge. That is a savoury, spiced sort of profile rather than a sweet or fruity one — grounded and a little fierce, in keeping with the plant's serious character. Peppery and earthy, then, and I will leave it there rather than reach for notes the paperwork does not offer.

The high

The effect is a heavy one — the record calls it narcotic, with genuinely psychoactive moments, at a full 24% THC against negligible CBD. This is emphatically an evening's plant: the sitting-down sort, and firmly so. Approach it as you would a staircase in the dark, and do not plan much for afterwards. Potent by any reckoning, and not shy about it.

Growing it

A tall, clear-structured indica, running to 250cm, with wide dark-green leaves — so give her the headroom or train early. She takes well to topping and defoliation, which helps manage that height, and the record notes she performs best in dry environments, weathering arid conditions without shock. Flowering runs 65 to 70 days for a yield of 500 g/m² at 24% THC. A hardy, sizeable plant that rewards a grower who can keep her air dry and her canopy in check.
