Obsidian Black is a modern hybrid strain derived from its parent, Gigi Gem. As a cultivar developed for both indoor and outdoor cultivation, it reaches maturity following a 56-day flowering period. This strain is characterized by a moderate cultivation difficulty and is noted for producing a high yield. Its genetic influence is evident in several notable offspring, including Ozark Gold and Show-Me Kush.

The terpene profile of Obsidian Black is defined by a complex arrangement beginning with caryophyllene, limonene, and myrcene. These primary aromatics are complemented by humulene, linalool, and nerolidol, with secondary contributions from ocimene, beta-pinene, and p-cymene. The remaining nuanced aromatic structure is rounded out by pinene, bisabolol, geraniol, guaiol, isopulegol, and camphene. This specific chemical composition defines the sensory experience of the plant.

As a THC-dominant variety, the effects of Obsidian Black are categorized by sensations of relaxation, happiness, and an uplifted state. These properties make the strain a suitable candidate for individuals managing concerns related to stress, pain, and sleep. Its established legacy continues through its role as a parent in the development of modern genetic lines such as Ozark Gold and Show-Me Kush.
