The Black

Released in seed form and popularized in British Columbia by BC Bud Depot, The Black is a striking, mostly indica cultivar whose fan leaves can darken to bruised plum and near‑black hues as harvest nears. Selected from Afghani stock and stabilized for garden reliability, it grows compact and sturdy, stacking tight calyxes into frosty, dense colas that broadcast a dark‑fruit bouquet. Expect a flavor profile led by grape skin and blackberry over an earthy base with a peppery snap, a combination often attributed to a myrcene‑forward terpene ensemble with caryophyllene and limonene supporting. Indoors it typically finishes in 8–10 weeks (about 56–70 days), and competent growers can see high yields around 450 g/m²; outdoors, bushy plants of medium stature can top roughly 600 g per plant when given long summer days and a dry September. Potency commonly lands in the high‑teens to 20% THC with trace‑to‑low CBD near 1%, delivering the heavy resin production and bold aromas associated with classic Afghanica lineage. Recognized for its bag appeal and inky coloration, The Black earned a place among notable late‑2000s cultivars and remains a favorite for fans of purple and black‑tinged indicas who value fast flowering, generous yields, and a deep, fruit‑and‑earth flavor signature.
