Seb's take

Seb Silverback

Black Domina crossed with Kalijah, dense and frosty enough to catch the light before you catch the aroma — peppered earth with a citrus lift. The high is the sitting-down sort: sleepy, relaxed, calming, at a solid 20% THC. Compact indoors, considerably taller out, and worth the extra heat in colder climates.

Where it comes from

Black Domina lends the name and the bulk of the character, an 85% indica cross with Kalijah rounding it out. Black Domina is one of the darker, heavier indicas in circulation, a plant that lives up to a commanding name, and Kalijah softens the edges without lightening the load. The result leans hard towards the indica end, dense and brooding, with the parent's disposition intact. A strain that, true to its title, does not ask permission.

Nose & flavour

Peppered and earthy, with a citrus lift threaded through to keep it from turning wholly savoury. But you will likely see her before you smell her, the flowers are so thick with resin glands that they catch the light and shine, dark green beneath a heavy frost. A handsome plant with a nose to match.

The high

The sitting-down sort, and unapologetic about it. Sleepy, relaxed and calming, the 20% THC settling into the body and staying there. This is an evening's companion rather than a morning's, once she has you in the armchair, you won't be needed elsewhere. Weighty, quiet and thoroughly indica.

Growing it

Compact indoors at around 1.3m, she can stretch to 2m out in the open, so plan the headroom to the setting. Flowering takes seven to eight weeks, check the trichomes before you commit the scissors, and yields run generous, around 550 g/m² indoors and up to 600g from a single outdoor plant. She rewards warmth: in colder climates, or under cool-running LEDs, mind the temperature so she can build the frost she is capable of. At 20% THC, a heavy, handsome grow.
