Black Domino
Also known as: Black Domina, Black Domina 97
Black Domino Strain Overview
Black Domino, more commonly known as Black Domina, is a classic indica-dominant cannabis strain developed in the late 1990s by the Sensi Seeds breeding company. The strain was created by crossing four potent indica landraces: Ortega, Northern Lights, Hash Plant, and Afghani. This genetic combination was specifically designed to produce a heavy, sedating effect and high resin production, making it popular among both recreational users seeking relaxation and medical patients looking for symptom relief. The strain's development marked a significant achievement in indica breeding during the cannabis genetics boom of the 1990s.
Black Domino plants are characterized by their compact, bushy structure with dark green foliage that often develops purple or black hues as the plants mature, particularly in cooler temperatures. The buds are dense, resinous, and covered in a thick layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance. The strain typically has a flowering time of 45-55 days indoors and is ready for harvest by mid-October outdoors in the Northern Hemisphere. While not the highest yielder, its potency and resin production have made it a favorite among extract makers and hash producers.
Notably, Black Domino has been used extensively in breeding programs to add indica characteristics to other strains. Its genetic influence can be found in many modern hybrids. The strain has maintained popularity for over two decades due to its consistent effects and reliable growth patterns, though it has become somewhat less common as newer hybrids have entered the market. It remains particularly valued by those seeking traditional, heavy indica effects.

Black Domino Strain Growing Information
Black Domino is considered a moderately difficult strain to grow, best suited for intermediate cultivators. It has a relatively short flowering time of 45-55 days indoors and is ready for outdoor harvest in mid-October. The plants stay compact, typically reaching 90-120 cm indoors and 120-180 cm outdoors. Yields are moderate, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter indoors and 500-600 grams per plant outdoors. The strain prefers a warm, dry climate with good air circulation to prevent mold. It responds well to training techniques like topping and LST (low-stress training) to increase yields. Nutrient requirements are average, but the plants are sensitive to overfeeding. The strain is suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation, though indoor growing allows better control over the environment.
