Black Dahlia is a modern hybrid-indica cultivar derived from the parent strain Querkle. Known for its reliable developmental cycle, this strain requires a moderate level of cultivation expertise and thrives in both indoor and outdoor environments. Growers can expect a high yield from this variety, which reaches full maturity after a 60-day flowering period.
The sensory profile of Black Dahlia is defined by a terpene composition led by myrcene, followed by caryophyllene and pinene. As a THC-dominant cultivar, its aromatic and flavor nuances are influenced by this specific hierarchy of volatile compounds. These terpenes work in concert to establish the chemical foundation of the strain, providing a consistent profile that informs the user experience.
In practice, Black Dahlia is utilized by patients seeking relief from pain, stress, and sleep disturbances, as it produces effects characterized by relaxation, calmness, and mental focus. The genetic influence of this cultivar is further evidenced by its status as a parent to notable offspring, including the strain Midnight Sky.
