Darkness Falls is a modern hybrid-indica cultivar developed from the parent strain Crem Dela Crem. This strain is cultivated in both indoor and outdoor environments, requiring a flowering period of approximately 70 days. Growers should anticipate a high yield from this plant, which presents a moderate level of cultivation difficulty during its growth cycle.
The terpene profile of Darkness Falls is characterized by its breadth, led by a dominant presence of caryophyllene followed by myrcene, limonene, and humulene. The secondary and tertiary tiers consist of nerolidol, linalool, p-cymene, bisabolol, beta-pinene, guaiol, pinene, caryophyllene-oxide, camphene, borneol, terpinolene, and geraniol. This chemical composition dictates the sensory experience, offering a complex aromatic and flavor profile established by this specific sequence of compounds.
As a THC-dominant cultivar, Darkness Falls is primarily utilized to facilitate feelings of relaxation, calm, and focus. It is frequently employed by users seeking relief from pain, stress, and sleep-related concerns. The genetic legacy of this strain is evidenced by its notable offspring, Darkness Runtz, which continues the lineage established by the original hybrid.
