How to grow The Black
Seb's take
Her genetics are, by the breeder's own admission, a mystery — grown somewhere between 1980s California and Vancouver Island and never explained since. Sweet, grape and fruity on the nose; the high is relaxed, sleepy and medicinal, good enough to earn a High Times Top 10 spot in 2008 despite the secrecy.
Growing The Black: what to expect
Feminized, so you'll not be sexing plants or evicting males. Photoperiod, so veg lasts exactly as long as you decide — see the vegetative stage on how long that ought to be.
Expect around 9 weeks in flower — textbook timing. Textbooks, for once, being useful: here's ours.
Potency sits in the milder band — 16% THC on the breeder's sheet. No embellishment from us; the figure is the figure.
The nose is fruit-led, and generous about it.
Grower reports give her a relaxed lean: unhurried company for an unhurried evening.
