How to grow Black Russian
Seb's take
Black Russian, a cross of Black Domina and White Russian, took first place for Indoor Strains at the 2012 Canarias Cannabis Cup, no small feat for an 80% indica. Earthy and fruity with an exotic lime edge, she grows generously for little effort and settles into a calm, medicinal relaxation. Decorated, and deservedly so.
Growing Black Russian: what to expect
Feminized photoperiod stock. You control when she flowers, which is a responsibility as much as a convenience; the light schedule guide keeps you on the right side of it.
Flowering is done in roughly 8 weeks. The calendar will suit the impatient; the flowering notes will suit everyone.
Expect 450 g/m² — a working grower's yield, reliable rather than theatrical. The harvest guide will see it in safely.
Listed at 24% THC — potent, verifiably. The figure comes from the breeder's testing, not from our enthusiasm.
Sweetness leads on the nose, and she doesn't whisper it.
Grower reports give her a relaxed lean: unhurried company for an unhurried evening.
