Black Lebanon

Black Lebanon is an indica-dominant cannabis strain with deep historical roots tracing back to the Lebanese landrace genetics of the 1980s. This strain represents a carefully preserved piece of cannabis heritage, originally developed from traditional Lebanese hashish plants that were renowned for their potent effects and distinctive dark coloration. Multiple breeding programs have worked with Black Lebanon genetics, with several versions being developed by different seed banks including GeneSeeds Bank, Super Sativa Seed Club, and Dutch Passion, each maintaining the strain's classic characteristics while refining its stability and performance.

The strain is characterized by its striking visual appearance, featuring very dark green foliage that often develops purple to nearly black coloration, especially when exposed to cooler temperatures during flowering. This dramatic coloring is enhanced by a thick coating of resinous trichomes that create a spectacular contrast against the dark plant matter. Black Lebanon plants are naturally compact and sturdy, typically growing between 80cm to 1.5 meters in height, making them well-suited for both indoor cultivation and sea of green (SOG) growing methods.

Black Lebanon is particularly valued for its robust genetics, demonstrating exceptional resistance to high temperatures, dry climates, and general growing stresses. The strain maintains the authentic characteristics of traditional Lebanese cannabis, including its distinctive earthy, hash-like aroma with fruity undertones and its potent, long-lasting effects that are typical of classic indica varieties. With flowering times of approximately 60-65 days indoors and harvest readiness by mid-October outdoors, Black Lebanon offers both historical significance and practical growing advantages for cultivators seeking authentic landrace-derived genetics.
