Black Pomegranate
Black Pomegranate is a modern hybrid strain created through the crossing of Pineapple Pomegranate and a South African Sativa. Information regarding its specific breeding history remains limited, and the precise origins of the project are not publicly documented. Despite this ambiguity, the strain has been stabilized for cultivation in both indoor and outdoor environments, presenting a moderate challenge for growers that culminates in a high yield after a 63-day flowering period.
The sensory profile of Black Pomegranate is defined by a complex chemical composition. Its dominant terpene is myrcene, followed by caryophyllene, limonene, pinene, ocimene, humulene, linalool, terpinolene, beta-pinene, nerolidol, caryophyllene-oxide, camphene, guaiol, bisabolol, and p-cymene. These compounds combine to influence the strain’s specific aroma and flavor characteristics, providing a nuanced experience grounded in this verified lab data.
As a THC-dominant cultivar, Black Pomegranate produces effects that are characterized as relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These properties make the strain a functional choice for those seeking relief from stress and pain, and it is frequently utilized by patients to aid with sleep. No offspring have been recorded to date, leaving Black Pomegranate as a distinct entry in the modern genetic landscape.
Terpene Profile
Synergies (+) and conflicts (−) are relative to each other within this profile.
| Terpene | Share | Character | Likely role |
|---|---|---|---|
| myrcene | ~60% | earthy | relaxing · solo |
| caryophyllene | ~28% | spicy | relaxing · social |
| limonene | ~12% | citrus | social · creative |

spicy
●●○○
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: increases serotonin in prefrontal cortex + dopamine in hippocampus via 5-HT1A; Johns Hopkins 2024: significantly reduced anxiety vs THC alone.
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.
happy
anytimeuplifted
morningLimonene anxiolytic/antidepressant via serotonin elevation in prefrontal cortex (Russo 2011); mood improvement without full euphoria; key for balanced-1-1 profiles.
Genetic Profile
Balanced Hybrid
Equal indica and sativa genetics. Balanced body and mind effects.
THC-Dominant
High THC, trace CBD. Psychoactive. Full CB1 agonism — euphoria, appetite, analgesia.
