The Black is a heavily indica dominant hybrid (90% indica/10% sativa) strain with unknown genetics due to a high level of breeder secrecy. This infamous bud boasts an insanely high THC level that typically falls over 20% and a myriad of heavy nighttime effects. The high starts with an instant soothing narcotic effect felt in the head with a heavy sedative effect that leaves your mind pleasantly hazy with a sense of deep introspection and a lack of any mental pain or racing thoughts. These effects slowly spread into the body with a deeply relaxing and narcotic effect that leaves you very sleepy and completely pain-free with a sense of utter serenity and peace. Upon the comedown you’ll be almost immediately lulled into a deep and dream-free sleep that’s said to be falling victim to the black. ...
... Because of these heavy effects, The Black is perfect for treating conditions such as insomnia, nightmares, chronic pain, and muscle spasms or tremors. This bud has a smooth yet strong taste of earthy grape and an aroma of spicy mulled wine that has a delicious sweetness that’s released when the nugs are broken apart. The Black buds have medium-sized dense grape-shaped insanely dark purple nugs with black leaves, purple hairs, and a frosty thick coating of purple crystal trichomes and sweet sticky resin.
Overview
A strain that was listed as one of the Top 10 Strains of 2008 by the High Times, The Black is a mostly-Indica hybrid whose name comes from the way in which it's leaves turn a real dark purple, and in some cases black, as plants reach maturity.
BC Bud Depot, the inventor of this strain, does not list what specifically went into the creation of this hybrid but they do list the strain as only ten percent Sativa (thus mostly Indica). They state that the Indica has been around since the late 1980s on Vancouver Island and in California.
