Black Beauty is a modern hybrid strain derived from its parent, GRuntz. This cultivar offers moderate cultivation requirements, consistently delivering a high yield within an indoor or outdoor environment. Following its vegetative stage, the plant requires a 65-day flowering period to reach full maturity.
The chemical expression of this strain is defined by a complex terpene profile led by myrcene, followed by caryophyllene, pinene, and limonene. Bisabolol, linalool, humulene, and terpinolene round out the secondary and tertiary compounds, contributing to its nuanced aromatic sensory experience. This specific sequence of terpenes influences the strain’s overall profile without deviation from its established aromatic hierarchy.
Black Beauty contains approximately 11.3% THC and 0% CBD, classifying it as a THC-dominant variety. The primary effects are characterized by a sense of relaxation, happiness, and an uplifted mood, making it a functional choice for those seeking to address stress, pain, or difficulties with sleep. While it serves as a stable modern option for its specific cannabinoid and terpene composition, it currently maintains no recorded notable offspring in its genetic legacy.

Russo 2011: only terpene that is a selective full CB2 agonist (100 nM); Gertsch et al. 2008: acts as dietary cannabinoid; unique anti-inflammatory and gastric cytoprotective properties.
Russo 2011: acetylcholinesterase inhibitor (IC50 0.44 mM) counteracting THC-induced short-term memory deficits; most widely encountered terpenoid in nature; anti-inflammatory via PGE-1.
Effects
Reported effects — derived from terpene chemistry and cannabinoid profile.
relaxed
eveningPrimary endpoint of myrcene+linalool sedating combinations; GABA modulation is the dominant mechanistic driver.
