This strain is bred from Piff S1 crossed with Black Haze/Mango Nigerian, carrying forward the genetic heritage of the iconic haze varieties that once ruled the streets of Harlem, the Bronx, and Uptown Manhattan. The original Piff strain was known to be NL5/Haze and became synonymous with high-grade cannabis in New York City's underground scene.

The strain has been known by various monikers including Black Haze, Frankie, Church, and Cuban Black Haze throughout its evolution. As an East Coast cannabis classic often linked to old-school Haze genetics, it's known for its incense-like aroma, cerebral high, and cultural roots in NYC. The strain represents a pure landrace heritage that hasn't been extensively crossbred and produces unique small buds with an 11-plus week flowering time, making it a challenging but rewarding cultivation project for experienced growers seeking authentic genetics.

Black Piff can be cultivated indoors and outdoors with a flowering time of 56-65 days (±61 days average), which is notably faster than traditional Piff varieties. Traditional Piff varieties require challenging 11-plus weeks to finish, but Top Dawg's version has been bred for more manageable timing. The strain requires experienced cultivation skills due to its sativa-dominant nature and potential for significant stretch. Training with LST or SCROG is recommended to manage sativa vigor and maximize yields, with ample vertical space needed for optimal growth. Indoor cultivation is preferred for better environmental control, though outdoor growing is possible in suitable climates.
