Seb's take

Seb Silverback

Malana Charas and Hindu Kush, pungent and piney with hashish and earthy undertones — does not travel discreetly. The high is a strong body one, sleepy and euphoric, with an unexpected sociable, talkative streak from the Sativa influence underneath. A traditional hash cross behaving like one.

Where it comes from

Malana Charas and Hindu Kush behind her, as traditional a hash pairing as the mountains produce. Malana, the Himachal village whose hand-rubbed charas is the stuff of legend, meets the broad Hindu Kush that named the whole indica type, and Barney's Farm holds them together at 80% indica. This is old-world genetics rather than modern dessert breeding: a plant descended from the regions where hashish itself was worked out, and she carries the resin to prove the pedigree.

Nose & flavour

The nose is unmistakably hash, spicy and herbal, piney and woody, over a deep earthy base. Pungent throughout, it reads like a good block of charas, which given her Malana heritage is precisely the point. She does not travel discreetly; this is a loud, traditional aroma with no interest in subtlety, and all the better for it.

The high

A strong body high, as an 80% indica should give, relaxed and euphoric and eventually sleepy. What lifts it above the ordinary is a sociable, talkative streak from the sativa underneath, a touch of creative brightness before the weight settles in. At 22% THC it carries real heft. Good company for an evening among friends, right up until it quietly becomes the sitting-down sort.

Growing it

Compact and obliging. She holds to 80 to 90cm and finishes in 55 to 60 days, which for a heavy 650 g/m² return is fair going. Feminised and standard-paced, she asks for little beyond the usual care, and her short stature makes her a tidy fit for an indoor tent. The resin that gives her that hash nose will also gum up your scissors, so clean them as you go. A traditional cross that grows as sensibly as it smokes.
