Black Samarian
Also known as: Black Samaritan
What is the Black Samarian strain?
Black Samarian is a indica cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and earthy flavor profile.
Black Samarian is a relatively rare indica-dominant cannabis strain that has gained a cult following among connoisseurs for its unique characteristics and potent effects. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, with limited documentation available about its development. What is known suggests it emerged from selective breeding programs that focused on creating strains with distinctive dark pigmentation and powerful sedative properties. The name likely references both the strain's dark coloration and its purported calming, almost spiritual effects that some users describe.
The strain is visually striking, typically displaying deep purple to nearly black buds with occasional dark green undertones. These dark hues are complemented by vibrant orange pistils and a generous coating of frosty trichomes that give the buds a shimmering appearance. The coloration results from high concentrations of anthocyanins, pigments that develop in response to cooler temperatures during the flowering phase. The buds are usually dense and compact, characteristic of indica varieties, with a structure that makes them suitable for various consumption methods.
Black Samarian is noted for its complex aromatic profile that combines earthy, woody notes with subtle fruity undertones. The flavor experience typically mirrors the aroma, with a smooth smoke that delivers a rich, layered taste. While not as widely available as commercial strains, Black Samarian has maintained a presence in certain cannabis communities where it is valued for its unique appearance and deeply relaxing effects. Its rarity means that authentic examples can be difficult to find, and variations may exist between different growers' interpretations of the strain.

How do you grow Black Samarian?
Black Samarian is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, requiring some experience to achieve optimal results. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor plants are usually ready for harvest in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment where temperature can be manipulated to enhance coloration, but it can also be grown outdoors in temperate climates.
Indoor yields are moderate, averaging 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under ideal conditions. The plants tend to stay relatively short and bushy, reaching heights of 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. To encourage the distinctive dark pigmentation, growers often expose plants to cooler temperatures (around 10-15°C) during the final 2-3 weeks of flowering. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to manage height and improve light penetration. Regular monitoring for mold is recommended due to the dense bud structure.
