Black Berry
Also known as: Blackberry, Black Berry Kush
Black Berry Strain Overview
Black Berry is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity for its distinctive berry aroma and deeply relaxing effects. The strain was developed by combining Black Domina and an unknown berry strain, resulting in a genetic profile that leans heavily toward indica characteristics. Its history traces back to the early 2000s when breeders sought to create a strain with both potent effects and exceptional flavor, though precise documentation of its development remains somewhat limited in publicly available records.
The strain is visually striking, featuring dense, conical buds that are typically dark green with deep purple and almost black hues, especially when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. These colorful buds are generously coated in frosty trichomes and often display vibrant orange pistils, creating a visually appealing contrast. The dark coloration is a hallmark of the strain and contributes to its name. The plant structure is typically compact and bushy, characteristic of indica varieties, with broad leaves that may also show purple pigmentation under certain growing conditions.
Black Berry is particularly noted for its complex aromatic profile that combines sweet berry notes with earthy undertones. The flavor experience mirrors the aroma, delivering a smooth smoke or vapor with pronounced berry sweetness followed by subtle earthy and herbal notes on the exhale. The strain's effects are predominantly physical, with a cerebral component that emerges initially before giving way to full-body relaxation. Its combination of appealing aesthetics, distinctive flavor, and potent effects has made it a favorite among both recreational users and medical cannabis patients seeking relief from various conditions.

Black Berry Strain Growing Information
Black Berry is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it more suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by early to mid-October outdoors. Indoor yields average 14-16 ounces per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 16-18 ounces per plant under optimal conditions. The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in warm, Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures. Plants remain relatively short, usually reaching 3-4 feet indoors and 4-6 feet outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining stable temperatures (avoiding extreme cold to prevent hermaphroditism) and implementing techniques like low-stress training to maximize light penetration and yield. The strain responds well to nutrient feeding but can be sensitive to overwatering.
