Black Russian

Black Russian is a compact, indica-dominant flower built for deep relaxation and a pronounced body high. With THC typically in the 18–24% range and a terpene profile dominated by myrcene, limonene and caryophyllene, it opens with a sweet-fruity and slightly spicy aroma—think berries, citrus zest and a touch of pepper—while the smoke or vapor delivers a smooth, resinous mouthfeel. The genetics trace back to robust indica lines (Black Domina crossed with White Russian/White Widow lineage), which explains the dense, dark-hued buds and heavy resin production. On consumption the cultivar tends to produce an immediate euphoric lift that slides quickly into calming, soporific territory: relaxed muscles, eased mental strain and often a clear path to sleep for those who need it. Users looking for stress relief, pain control or insomnia-oriented effects will find this strain well suited; the combination of myrcene and caryophyllene supports sedation and anti-inflammatory qualities while limonene can add a lighter, mood-lifting edge to the onset. It’s also a proven performer in extract competitions. For growers Black Russian is approachable: short stature, strong branch structure and an 8–9 week indoor flowering time make it a good choice for modest spaces and quick turnarounds. Expect high yields from densely packed colas, minimal between-bud foliage and robust resin production—traits that favor both flower-focused gardens and extraction work. Overall it’s an easy-to-grow, high-yield indica that leans potent and deeply relaxing.
