Seb's take

Seb Silverback

GG#4 crossed with Sorbet for a resin-heavy indica hybrid built with hash and concentrate makers in mind. Buds run long from top to bottom, icy with trichomes, dense enough that branches may need staking in the final weeks. Reaches up to 180cm outdoors — give her the headroom.

Where it comes from

GG#4 crossed with Sorbet by DNA Genetics, and the intent is plain from the parentage - GG#4's notorious resin married to Sorbet's flavour, aimed squarely at the hash and concentrate maker. The record puts the two together without ceremony. What you get is the stickiness of one parent and the palate of the other, in a sixty-per-cent indica frame built to be pressed as much as smoked.

Nose & flavour

The record leads with resin rather than flavour, and I will follow it - buds spanning long from top to bottom, iced over with sticky trichomes, the sort that gum up your scissors within the first cut. Sorbet's name promises a sweet, dessert-ish palate beneath the frost, though the record leaves the tasting notes to the extractor. Frost first, flavour on discovery.

The high

Strength is the record's headline - extremely high resin and potency, it says, without pinning a number to it, so I shall not pin one either. Bred with concentrate makers in mind, which tells you the intensity is the selling point rather than an accident. Approach the extracts especially as you would a staircase in the dark, one careful step at a time.

Growing it

Roughly nine weeks in flower indoors, or the middle of October under the sky. Height runs 100 to 140cm indoors and 120 to 180cm outdoors, so give her the headroom outside. Yields sit at 450 to 500 g/m². The one caution the record raises is weight: the buds grow dense enough that branches may want staking through the final fortnight - support them before they lean, not after. Otherwise a rewarding grow for the patient.
