Seb's take

Seb Silverback

Cheese and Black Jack combine for a strain that is exactly as pungent as the name threatens, sweet spice riding over the earthy funk. Award-winning and mostly sativa, the high runs relaxed, euphoric, and energetic, from long green buds strung with orange hairs — a carbon filter is not optional indoors.

Where it comes from

Sweet Seeds beat the odds, in the record's own words, by mixing Cheese with Black Jack to make the award-winning Sweet Cheese, a 70 per cent sativa. The Cheese brings the pungent funk the name promises, the Black Jack the vigour and the length, and between them they combine ease of growing, rapid flowering and high resistance to fungi. A characterful cross that carries a real reputation, and a scent that gives it away long before you reach the jar.

Nose & flavour

Exactly as pungent as the name threatens. A sweet spice rides over the earthy cheese funk beneath, the two working together into a wonderful, pungent scent that does not travel discreetly. Long green buds strung with lengthy orange hairs carry the aroma, and it is loud enough that many growers prefer to keep her outdoors. Indoors, a carbon filter is not so much advice as a requirement.

The high

The effect runs relaxed, euphoric and energetic, the sativa dominance keeping the head engaged while the body settles. It is a lively, good-humoured high rather than a sedating one, lifting the mood and setting a little energy going alongside the ease. Sociable, cheerful company well suited to the daytime, the kind of effect that relaxes without flattening and lifts without scattering the attention.

Growing it

The record gives no height, but the temperament is generous: she grows readily indoors and out, combines rapid flowering with high resistance to fungi, and finishes in 63 days. The yield is a solid 400 to 600 g/m², and THC runs 15 to 20 per cent with a notable CBD at 1.4. The strong cheese scent is the one real consideration, loud enough to recommend a carbon filter indoors and an open sky outdoors. Easy to grow and quick to reward, if impossible to keep quiet.
