Seb's take

Seb Silverback

T.H. Seeds' top plant for fifteen years running, bred from Sour Diesel and S.A.G.E. — the sort of loyalty one only sees in old regiments. Fruity diesel and citrus on the nose; the high is balanced and sociable, relaxed enough for evenings, energetic enough for mornings. Forgiving of enthusiasm, and no less popular for it.

Where it comes from

The feminized line of a genuine house classic, Sour Diesel crossed with S.A.G.E., which has stood as T.H. Seeds' number one plant for fifteen years and counting. That is the kind of loyalty one rarely sees outside an old regiment. Sour Diesel supplies the drive and the fuel; S.A.G.E., itself a Big Sur and Afghani cross, the balance and the pedigree. A sativa-dominant workhorse with a long and well-deserved reputation behind it.

Nose & flavour

Fruity up top, with sour diesel and a bright citrus running through, a livelier, sweeter reading of the S.A.G.E. 'n Sour nose, the fruit and peel leading over the fuel. It stays complex without turning heavy, aromatic and moreish. A clean, sativa-forward scent that carries its diesel heritage plainly.

The high

Balanced and sociable, relaxed enough for the evening, energetic enough for the morning, which is what earns it the wake-and-bake reputation. Happy throughout, it lifts without tipping into anything frantic, keeping the mind loose and the mood high. At 19% THC, an even, agreeable company for very nearly any hour of the day.

Growing it

Forgiving of enthusiasm, and none the worse for it, the record has her easy enough for any level of grower. She finishes her photoperiod flower in 63 days from a plant standing 120 to 140cm, returning around 350 g/m² of resinous bud when fed well through flowering. At 19% THC, a dependable, straightforward grow that has kept its place at the top of the range for a decade and a half. Little wonder it stays there.
