Black is a modern hybrid-indica of undocumented lineage. Cultivators categorize this strain as a moderately difficult variety to grow, capable of thriving in both indoor and outdoor environments. Successfully managed crops reach maturity within a 60-day flowering period and are recognized for producing a high yield. Its genetic legacy is substantial, serving as the foundation for several notable offspring including Black Hole, Black Lemon, Creole, Lillooet Black, and Talibana.
The chemical profile of this strain is defined primarily by myrcene as the dominant terpene, supported by secondary notes of caryophyllene and a tertiary presence of pinene. This specific terpene arrangement contributes to the distinct sensory experience of the flower, which is classified as THC-dominant.
Users typically report effects characterized by a sense of relaxation, calm, and focus. These properties make Black a frequent choice for those managing pain, stress, or sleep-related difficulties. It remains a fixture in the modern hybridization landscape due to its consistent efficacy and its proven role as a parent for diverse successive genetics.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Black indica or sativa?
Black is modeled here as a indica-dominant (primarily indica with sativa influence).
What terpene is dominant in Black?
Myrcene is shown as the dominant terpene at approximately ~60%. Caryophyllene follows as the secondary terpene.
Is Black good for daytime use?
Black is versatile and works across different times of day depending on dose and individual response.
