Black Venom has balanced effects.

Low THCHigh THC

Black Venom potency is higher THC than average.

Black Venom is a modern hybrid-indica strain developed through the crossing of Black Hell and Slurricane. As a deliberate cross, this cultivar reflects a contemporary approach to breeding, resulting in a plant that requires moderate cultivation skill to manage effectively. When grown, Black Venom performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments, demonstrating a high yield potential with a flowering period that lasts exactly 68 days.

The chemical profile of Black Venom is complex, led by a dominant presence of caryophyllene, followed by limonene, nerolidol, and myrcene. The secondary and tertiary nuances are provided by humulene, pinene, beta-pinene, linalool, p-cymene, and camphene, with trace contributions from bisabolol, ocimene, terpinolene, valencene, caryophyllene-oxide, and borneol. This diverse array of terpenes suggests a nuanced sensory experience defined by the interplay of these sixteen distinct compounds.

As a THC-dominant variety, Black Venom is reported to produce effects characterized by feelings of relaxation, calmness, and a distinct sense of focus. These combined properties make it suitable for users addressing concerns related to pain, stress, and sleep. Beyond its primary application, the strain has already established a presence in breeding programs, serving as the parent to the notable offspring Kurokush.
