Seb's take

Seb Silverback

Named, one assumes without irony, for a man who insisted on going fast — Ricky Bobby settles you down rather more than he ever did. San Fernando OG and Blue Dream underneath, apple and earthy sweetness on the nose beneath diesel and peanut-butter-cookie funk. The high is happy and euphoric first, relaxed after, at 18-25% THC.

Growing Ricky Bobby: what to expect

Feminized photoperiod seed: every plant a female, and flowering starts when you change the lights — which puts the calendar in your hands. The photoperiod lesson covers using that control well.

Flowering runs the standard 9 weeks — no surprises, which in this business is a compliment. The flowering stage guide covers what each of those weeks should look like.

A middling 150 cm or so at maturity — tall enough to yield, short enough to manage. Standard tent territory; the light planner sorts the hanging height.

The yield is, in plain terms, heavy — 641 – 763 g/m² when she's looked after. Branches will need support before they need sympathy; see supporting heavy colas.

THC of 25% by the breeder's numbers — the top shelf of the scale. Approach as you would a staircase in the dark.

Sweetness leads on the nose, and she doesn't whisper it.

Grower reports give her a relaxed lean: unhurried company for an unhurried evening.
