Black Eyed Katy
Black Eyed Katy
Also known as: Black Eye Katy
Overview
Black Eyed Katy is an indica-dominant hybrid strain (70% indica/30% sativa) created by The Bank Genetics through crossing Fall '97 (Purple Urkle x OG Kush) and Phishhead Kush (OG Kush x Lowland Afghani). Named for the instrumental song created by the band Phish in 1997, this strain represents the cannabis community's tribute to both the band and the legendary fall 1997 period considered by many fans to be the most inspired time in Phish's career. The strain embodies the spirit of 'cow-funk' music that Phish pioneered during this era.
Black Eyed Katy produces visually striking buds with oversized, super dense spade-shaped minty green nugs featuring deep purple undertones, long thin curly amber hairs, and a coating of tiny frosty purple-tinted white crystal trichomes. The strain offers a complex flavor profile combining sweet and spicy peppery flowery notes with an earthy kush aroma that includes hints of fruity chocolate and coffee undertones. With THC levels ranging from 14% to 27%, this strain delivers a progressive experience that begins with giddy euphoria and sensual awareness before transitioning into deeply relaxing and sedative effects that can lead to peaceful sleep.
