Sirius Black is a modern hybrid strain derived from a genetic lineage encompassing Afghan Noir and Afghani genetics. Developed through the crossing of indica and sativa influences, this cultivar serves as the parent to the notable Afghan Noir. Growers can cultivate this strain in both indoor and outdoor environments, where it reaches maturity after a 63-day flowering period. Sirius Black is considered a project of moderate difficulty, yet it is recognized for producing a high yield.
The chemical profile of Sirius Black is defined by a complex sequence of terpenes, led by myrcene, pinene, and ocimene. This primary trio is complemented by limonene, caryophyllene, beta-pinene, linalool, humulene, guaiol, bisabolol, nerolidol, and camphene. This broad spectrum of compounds creates a distinct sensory experience, supported by its THC-dominant cannabinoid profile of 21.4% THC and 0.06% CBD.
In practice, Sirius Black is utilized to facilitate feelings of relaxation, happiness, and an uplifted state of mind. Given its physiological effects, it is frequently employed to manage stress and pain, or to assist with sleep. Its status as a modern hybrid and its documented role in the development of Afghan Noir underscore its position within contemporary cannabis breeding programs.

Research notes below describe isolated terpene mechanisms and early findings. They do not guarantee effects from this strain and are not medical advice.
Russo 2011: naloxone-sensitive analgesia, potentiates barbiturate sleep; dominant sedating terpenoid; blocks hepatic carcinogenesis by aflatoxin.
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.
Antifungal, antiviral, decongestant; activates CB1/CB2 at 10–60% THC efficacy per Israeli receptor study (NORML 2025); highly volatile (bp 50–66°C); limited clinical data.
Effects
Reported effects — derived from terpene chemistry and cannabinoid profile.
relaxed
