Black Raspberry Kush
Also known as: Black Raspberry, BRK
Black Raspberry Kush Strain Overview
Black Raspberry Kush is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s from the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. The strain was developed by crossing two notable parent strains: Blackberry Kush and Raspberry Kush, combining their distinctive characteristics into a unique genetic profile. While its exact breeding history remains somewhat obscure, Black Raspberry Kush gained popularity through the medical cannabis community before becoming more widely available in recreational markets.
The strain is visually distinctive, featuring dense, conical buds that display a striking color palette. The flowers typically exhibit deep purple and violet hues interspersed with vibrant orange pistils, all covered in a thick layer of frosty trichomes. The dark coloration is most pronounced in cooler growing conditions, where anthocyanin pigments become more prominent. The buds are often described as having a gummy, resinous texture when properly cured.
Black Raspberry Kush is known for its complex aromatic profile and potent effects. The strain has become particularly popular among indica enthusiasts seeking deep relaxation without complete sedation. While not as widely documented as some mainstream strains, Black Raspberry Kush has maintained a dedicated following in certain cannabis communities, particularly in regions where its parent strains have strong genetic lineages.

Black Raspberry Kush Strain Growing Information
Black Raspberry Kush is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready in late September to early October. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments but prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to remain relatively compact, reaching heights of 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining stable temperatures to encourage the characteristic purple coloration and providing adequate support for the dense, resinous buds. The strain is moderately resistant to common molds and pests but benefits from good air circulation.
