Seb's take

Seb Silverback

Watermelon Zum Zum #3 crossed with OG Eddy, true to the name in flavour — melon-sweet and unmistakably so. The high is uplifting and energising, with just enough gentle muscle relaxation to keep it from tipping into wired, a fair companion for creative work.

Where it comes from

Watermelon Zum Zum #3 crossed with OG Eddy, a pairing Pyramid Seeds balance at an even 50/50. The Watermelon side brings the fruit the strain is named for; the OG Eddy side brings backbone and resin. It is a plant bred to lead with flavour, and the name makes no secret of which fruit it is chasing. A tidy, balanced hybrid built around a terpene profile most people can identify blindfolded.

Nose & flavour

True to the name, this is all melon, sweet and unmistakable, the sort of flavour that needs no explaining once it is in the glass. There is a clean, fruity brightness to her with none of the fuel a heavier hybrid carries. A straightforwardly delicious nose, and an unusual one; watermelon is not a note many plants pull off convincingly, and she manages it plainly.

The high

At 25% THC the effect is uplifting and energising, with just enough gentle relaxation through the body to keep it from tipping into wired. It is a bright, forward sort of high, fair company for creative work or a project that needs a little momentum. Substantial potency, but pointed toward energy rather than the armchair. Setting aside the therapeutic claims the write-up makes, the character is simply lively and clear.

Growing it

Feminised and even-tempered, she finishes flowering in around 60 days at a manageable 80 to 110cm, a medium plant that needs no special headroom. Yields run a fair 400 g/m². The balanced 50/50 build tends to make for a sturdy, adaptable grow that suits most setups. Nothing about her cultivation is temperamental; keep the basics steady and she returns those melon-scented buds without argument. A plant grown as much for the pleasure of the nose as the weight of the crop.
