Seb's take

Seb Silverback

Super Skunk and White Widow combine in Shark Attack for wildly pungent, lemon-edged flowers that do not travel discreetly, from a surprisingly compact plant. The harvest runs large for her size, and the high follows suit — relaxed and tingly, with the dry eyes and mouth to prove its strength. Rapid root growth means she wants a larger pot than her stature suggests.

Where it comes from

Dinafem combined Super Skunk with the infamous White Widow for Shark Attack, a 70 percent indica-dominant photoperiod cross. The pairing lends the plant a compact structure that rather belies the harvest it delivers — the White Widow bringing resin and bite, the Super Skunk lending the loud, pungent character. A straightforward cross of two well-worn names, tuned to produce a heavy return from a plant that does not, on paper, look built for it.

Nose & flavour

Wildly pungent, and reminiscent of lemons — that citrus sharpness is the calling card, sitting over an earthy, woody base with pine and a spiced, herbal edge underneath. It does not travel discreetly, the flowers being loud enough to warrant planning around. A dense, savoury profile with a bright lemon lift on top, the sort that fills a room and lingers well after. Assertive, and unbothered about it.

The high

Relaxed and tingly, with the dry eyes and dry mouth that tend to accompany a heavy hitter — fair signs of the strength on offer. The record is honest that it can tip toward the paranoid end for the unwary, so this is one to approach with a measure of respect. A settling, body-forward effect that rewards a considered pace rather than an eager one. Strong, in short, and not shy about letting you know.

Growing it

Described as compact, yet she reaches 250cm, so the two facts want reconciling — expect a dense plant that still stretches, and give her the headroom regardless. She is prone to rapid root expansion, so larger-than-usual pots are recommended from the start. Flowering is quick at 50 to 55 days for a solid 500 g/m², with THC at 12 to 16 percent and high CBD alongside. She benefits from high-intensity lighting, a 600-watt HPS or MH through veg and flower. A heavy return for a plant that hides its ambitions well.
