Seb's take

Seb Silverback

OG Kush crossed with ruderalis, tall for an autoflower at up to 150cm — give her the headroom even in her compact form. Spiced pine and fruit on the nose; the high lifts rather than sinks, uplifting, happy, euphoric. Resinous and exotic like her Kush parent, though ventilation is not optional.

Where it comes from

OG Kush is the parent that matters here, crossed with ruderalis for the automatic habit. OG Kush needs no character reference, a cornerstone of the West Coast canon, and the object of the cross is to carry its exotic, resinous nature into a self-flowering plant. The ruderalis lends the calendar; everything of interest comes down from the Kush side. A recognised classic, taught to flower without a change in the lights.

Nose & flavour

Spiced pine leads, in the resinous Kush idiom, with a fruity sweetness lifting the top of it. It keeps the exotic, slightly incense-like quality the OG line is prized for, savoury and aromatic rather than sugary. A nose that carries, and rewards a properly ventilated space. Unmistakably Kush at the root.

The high

Contrary to the Kush reputation for weight, this one lifts. Uplifting, happy and euphoric, the modest 13% THC and medium CBD keeping it bright and level rather than heavy. A daytime settle, cheerful and clear, the exotic Kush character without the customary anchor. Pleasant, sociable company.

Growing it

Tall for an autoflower, she runs 90 to 150cm with a clear main cola, so give her the headroom even in her compact category. The buds are resinous and exotic like the parent but not especially dense, which means airflow matters: keep her well ventilated or the sticky flowers risk rot. The full cycle takes eight to nine weeks from sprouting, yielding up to 350 g/m² indoors or around 170g from an outdoor plant. At 13% THC with medium CBD, a characterful grow that simply asks for room and air.
