After Dark is a modern hybrid-indica strain whose exact origins remain undocumented. Breeders have not publicly confirmed a complete lineage, though Sunset Sherbert is identified as a parent. Due to the lack of detailed historical records, the full genetic background of this strain is currently considered incomplete by available industry documentation.

The sensory profile of After Dark is defined by a primary presence of limonene, followed by caryophyllene, linalool, myrcene, bisabolol, humulene, beta-pinene, pinene, and terpinolene. Because THC levels are derived from aggregated data rather than a singular batch test, the strain features an estimated 21.3% THC and roughly 0% CBD. These compounds work in concert to produce this specific chemical expression, which centers on citrus-forward limonene balanced by the peppery notes of caryophyllene and the floral influence of linalool.

Cultivators can expect a flowering period of 67 days, with the strain classified as moderate in terms of growing difficulty. It performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments and consistently produces high yields. Users report that After Dark provides a combination of relaxed and focused effects, making it a functional choice for those managing pain, stress, or sleep-related concerns. There are currently no notable offspring recorded for this variety.
