Black Hole Sun
Black Hole Sun is a modern hybrid strain created through the crossing of Sunshine Daydream and Anaphylaxis. The history of this cultivar remains characterized by thin documentation, as there is no specific information regarding its primary breeder or original geographic point of origin. It is a plant of moderate cultivation difficulty that transitions into full flower within 57 days, consistently rewarding growers with a high yield in both indoor and outdoor environments.
The terpene profile of Black Hole Sun is complex and diverse, anchored by a confirmed sequence that begins with myrcene, limonene, and terpinolene. This cascade continues through pinene, caryophyllene, beta-pinene, and ocimene, finishing with subtle notes of linalool, nerolidol, humulene, and bisabolol. This THC-dominant variety relies on these specific compounds to define its aromatic and sensory nuances, which flow from the earthiness of myrcene to the lighter, cleaner accents provided by pinene and ocimene.
Users report that Black Hole Sun facilitates a state that is deeply relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These effects make the strain a functional choice for those seeking relief from stress and physical pain, while also serving as a viable option to support sleep. To date, there are no recorded offspring attributed to this strain, leaving it as a singular entry in its genetic lineage.

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.
