Black Samarian F2
Also known as: Black Samarian F2, Black Samarian
Black Samarian F2 Strain Overview
Black Samarian F2 is a stabilized indica-dominant hybrid strain developed through selective breeding of the original Black Samarian line. The strain traces its origins to Middle Eastern landrace genetics, specifically from the Samaria region, which has been cultivated for centuries. Breeders worked to stabilize the desirable traits of the original Black Samarian through two generations of selective inbreeding (F2 refers to the second filial generation), resulting in more consistent phenotypes while maintaining the strain's distinctive characteristics.
The strain is known for its dark coloration, with deep purple and almost black hues appearing in the buds as the plant matures, particularly when exposed to cooler temperatures during the flowering phase. The buds are typically dense and resinous, covered in a thick layer of trichomes that give them a frosty appearance. The leaves often display dark green to purple coloration with occasional orange pistils. The strain's name reflects both its geographic origins and its distinctive dark appearance.
Black Samarian F2 has gained recognition among cannabis enthusiasts for its potent effects and complex flavor profile. While not as widely commercially available as some mainstream strains, it has developed a dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its heritage genetics and distinctive characteristics. The stabilization process has made it more reliable for cultivation while preserving the unique traits that made the original line noteworthy.

Black Samarian F2 Strain Growing Information
Black Samarian F2 is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The flowering time is approximately 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvest typically occurring in late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere. The plants tend to be medium in height, reaching 3-5 feet indoors and 4-6 feet outdoors. Yields are moderate to high, with indoor growers reporting 14-18 ounces per square meter and outdoor growers achieving 16-20 ounces per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments but thrives in Mediterranean-like climates with plenty of sunlight. It responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize yields. The plants prefer stable temperatures and are somewhat sensitive to humidity fluctuations, particularly during the flowering phase when mold can be a concern due to the dense bud structure. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with some growers noting that the strain benefits from slightly reduced nitrogen during flowering to enhance the purple coloration. Cooler nighttime temperatures (around 60°F/15°C) during late flowering can intensify the dark pigmentation for which this strain is known.
