Description
The Black Cannabis strain has been around for many years now, although not easy to come by. It was named The Black Strain because some of the plants may turn a beautiful shade of purple. If you like dark purple plants that produce copious trichomes then the Black is for you. There is also a green pheno type present as well.
The black strain was developed by? Canada?s BC Bud Depot, on Vancouver Island BC Canada.? The actual heritage….mother and father are unknown.
The Black Strain was chosen as one of the top 10 strains of 2008 by High Times.
The Black cannabis strain is an Indica dominant plant coming in at about 90% Indica, and 10% Sativa, with THC in the 20%-25% concentration range.
This strain runs the gamut in taste and smell. Fruity, spicy, sweet, and smooth. You rarely cough from The Black, and its heavy Indica stone will leave you so relaxed you just might have to take a nap.
Great strain for insomnia, pain management, stress relief, migraines/headaches, nausea, and lack of appetite. The Black is a potent cannabis strain and caution is in order if you find large does of THC producing any unwanted effects, such as anxiety.
Once you find the dose that is effective for your conditions you are golden. The medicinal effects of The Black strain are extraordinary.
This strain is suitable for cultivation both indoors or out. The Black loves the sun (don’t they all) and grows best with low humidity.
Being an Indica dominant strain The Black tends to be short, (easy to conceal) and bushy. It can get bigger around then it is in height. Flowering time is about 7-8 weeks, you will know harvest is near when the already beautiful dark purple buds turn jet black!
Grown well you can get a very generous harvest from this strain, and produce potent meds.
The Black is a unique, and beautiful plant, and is sure to impress all of your buddies!

I have 2 plants in week 4 of flowering. I`m wondering from someone that has grown this strain, when does it start showing purple?
Jerry –
There are a couple pheno types with that plant Sean. Some of them may not turn purple, while some can get very purple. If/when I grow out more of those seeds I will isolate the very purple plants to assure more purple ones. Send me some pictures of your plants on the forum, or in am email.
Sean –
You are right Jerry. One is still green and the other has dark purple/black leaves around the buds. I will be harvesting both this week.
Jerry –
Could you send me some images of the dark one? I would love to have some. I have sold many of those seeds, and it looks like the very purple ones are kinda rare, even though the mother plant was very purple. That is the thing about cannabis genetics….the mother is only 50% of the mix, so variations are possible.
