Black Samarian Diesel
Also known as: Black Sam Diesel, BSD
Black Samarian Diesel Strain Overview
Black Samarian Diesel is a relatively rare hybrid cannabis strain that combines genetics from two legendary lineages. The strain is believed to have been developed through crossing Black Domina, a potent indica, with Sour Diesel, a classic sativa-dominant strain. This combination creates a balanced hybrid that offers both cerebral stimulation and physical relaxation. The exact origins and breeder of Black Samarian Diesel are somewhat obscure in cannabis literature, with the strain appearing in various cannabis communities and seed banks over the past decade.
The strain typically produces dense, resinous buds with dark green coloration often accented by purple and black hues, particularly in cooler growing conditions. The flowers are usually covered in a thick layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance. The aroma profile is complex, combining fuel-like diesel notes inherited from its Sour Diesel parent with earthy, spicy undertones from the Black Domina lineage. The flavor follows a similar pattern, with diesel and pine notes dominating the initial taste, followed by subtle earthy and spicy notes on the exhale.
Black Samarian Diesel is known for its balanced effects that begin with cerebral stimulation before transitioning to physical relaxation. The strain has gained a reputation among experienced users for its potency and complex terpene profile. While not as widely available as some mainstream strains, it has developed a dedicated following in certain cannabis communities. The strain's effects and characteristics can vary somewhat between different phenotypes and growing conditions, which is common with hybrid strains that have diverse genetic backgrounds.

Black Samarian Diesel Strain Growing Information
Black Samarian Diesel is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it better suited for growers with some experience. The strain has a flowering time of approximately 8-10 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor plants are typically ready for harvest in late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere. The plants tend to be medium in height, reaching 3-5 feet indoors and potentially taller outdoors with proper conditions.
Indoor growers can expect yields of around 14-16 ounces per square meter, while outdoor plants may produce 16-20 ounces per plant under optimal conditions. The strain responds well to both soil and hydroponic growing methods. Black Samarian Diesel prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with moderate humidity and temperatures between 70-80°F (21-27°C) during the day. The plants benefit from regular pruning and training techniques like topping or low-stress training to maximize light penetration and air circulation.
Special considerations include monitoring for mold and mildew, particularly in the dense buds during the final weeks of flowering. The strain's dark coloration develops best with cooler nighttime temperatures during the flowering phase. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with some growers reporting sensitivity to overfeeding, particularly with nitrogen. The strain produces a strong aroma during flowering, so carbon filters or other odor control measures are recommended for indoor cultivation.
