Back In Black
Also known as: Back in Black
Back In Black Strain Overview
Back In Black is a potent indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain developed by the breeder Exotic Genetix. The strain's name references both its dark coloration and the classic AC/DC album, reflecting its powerful, memorable effects. It was created by crossing the popular strains Blackberry Kush and Black Cherry Pie, combining genetics from the Blackberry and Cherry Pie lineages to produce a strain with distinctive visual characteristics and a complex flavor profile.
The strain is visually striking, with dense, chunky buds that display deep purple and dark green hues, often accented by vibrant orange pistils and a heavy coating of frosty trichomes. The dark coloration is particularly pronounced in cooler growing conditions, where anthocyanin pigments become more prominent. Back In Black typically produces medium to tall plants with good lateral branching, making it suitable for various training techniques.
Back In Black has gained recognition among cannabis enthusiasts for its balanced yet potent effects that lean toward physical relaxation while maintaining some cerebral clarity. The strain's popularity stems from its reliable performance, appealing aesthetics, and the way it combines classic indica traits with modern hybrid characteristics. While not as widely available as some mainstream commercial strains, it has developed a dedicated following among those who appreciate its specific qualities.

Back In Black Strain Growing Information
Back In Black is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready in late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere. Indoor yields are average to above average, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in favorable climates.
The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also be grown outdoors in warm, Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to be medium to tall in height, often requiring some height management indoors. Back In Black responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize yields and manage height. The strain is somewhat resistant to common molds and pests but benefits from good air circulation, particularly during the flowering stage when dense buds develop. Cooler nighttime temperatures during late flowering can enhance the purple coloration.
