Seb's take

Seb Silverback

Strawberry Kush and Sour Diesel meet in a strain that borrows an indica's hardiness and a sativa's manners: euphoric, creative, and in a good mood throughout. Sweet and pungent with an earthy, gassy-fruity edge on the nose. A popular cross, and deservedly so.

Where it comes from

Strawberry Kush crossed with Sour Diesel by Barney's Farm - a sixty-per-cent sativa carefully weighted to borrow an indica's hardiness, speed and generosity while keeping a sativa's manners in the smoke. Two beloved classics, and the record is plain that the balance is deliberate rather than accidental. Strawberry sweetness meets diesel fuel; the cross became popular for good reason, and popularity here is earned rather than marketed.

Nose & flavour

Sweet up front - the Strawberry Kush side - with a pungent, gassy edge from the Sour Diesel and an earthy base beneath. The record's own phrase is gassy-fruity, which captures the tension neatly: fruit and fuel in the same breath. A nose that pulls in two directions and is the better for it. Loud enough to notice, sweet enough to enjoy.

The high

Twenty-two to twenty-four per cent THC behind a bright, good-humoured high - euphoric and creative, in a fine mood throughout, with a relaxed underpinning that keeps it from turning frantic. The sativa qualities lead the smoke while the indica half steadies the body. Uplifting without the edge; a sociable, productive sort of strength. Strong, but agreeable with it.

Growing it

A medium plant at 100 to 120cm, flowering sixty-five to seventy days, with the hardiness and speed the record credits to the indica half - a forgiving temperament that suits a grower who wants results without fuss. Yields are generous at 550 to 600 g/m². Nothing marks her as difficult; give her a full window and a filter for the gassy nose and she is straightforward and rewarding. A well-behaved plant with a heavy return.
