Delicious Dark Crack
Delicious Dark Crack is a modern auto-flowering strain derived from its parent, Dark Purple Auto. Designed for ease of cultivation, this variety performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments, reaching maturity after a 63-day flowering period. While yields are generally low, the strain is recognized for serving as parental stock for offspring including Dark & Stormy, Jellystone, and The Thing.
The terpene profile of Delicious Dark Crack is complex, anchored by a dominant concentration of caryophyllene followed by pinene and humulene. The secondary and tertiary tiers consist of myrcene, limonene, bisabolol, beta-pinene, linalool, guaiol, terpinolene, caryophyllene-oxide, camphene, ocimene, nerolidol, and borneol. This diverse chemical composition dictates the sensory experience, offering a nuanced aromatic and flavor profile built upon these specific compounds.
As a THC-dominant cultivar, Delicious Dark Crack is known to produce relaxed, happy, and uplifted effects. These characteristics make it a functional choice for those seeking to address stress, pain, or difficulties with sleep. Beyond its immediate psychoactive application, the strain maintains a notable genetic legacy through its descendants, which continue to influence the development of contemporary breeding projects.

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: acetylcholinesterase inhibitor (IC50 0.44 mM) counteracting THC-induced short-term memory deficits; most widely encountered terpenoid in nature; anti-inflammatory via PGE-1.
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
