Black Russian

Hybrid • Black Domina x White Russian • Bred by Delicious Seeds

This strain was developed by Delicious Seeds -- the same breeders responsible for Cotton Candy Kush -- and is a cross between Black Domina and the pungent White Russian.

Although a Black Russian may not be the most popular cocktail, the hybrid Black Russian has plenty of fans. Cannabis testing lab Analytical 360 has measured its potency at anywhere from 12% to a whopping 26% THC.

Flowers of Black Russian are visually impressive -- medium to large in size and very colourful. The buds have the densely-packed structure typically associated with indica varieties. The curly leaves are mossy green and are threaded through with a high volume of hairy yellow pistils. Phenotypes of Black Russian also frequently display shades of purple, ranging from pale lavender to a deep violet. These purple hues come about when pigments called anthocyanins are stimulated by colder than average weather during the growing process. Finally, these already-vibrant flowers are coated with dewy trichomes, making them very sticky to the touch.

When properly cured, Black Russian can give off a whole array of fruity, tropical aromas. A citrus tang mingles with notes of berry and pineapple to give an overall sweet impression. On closer inspection, there are also some distinctly earthy, skunky notes passed on from parent strain Black Domina. Despite this pleasant aromatic profile, Black Russian burns with a harsh smoke when combusted and may trigger some coughing or watery eyes.
