Black Strawberries
Also known as: Black Strawberry
Overview
Black Strawberries is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain developed by Riot Seeds, a punk rock-themed seed bank located in Europe. This cultivar was created by crossing Strawberry Cream (a fruity sativa-dominant hybrid) with Blackberry (an offspring of Black Domina and Raspberry). The strain was specifically bred to combine the promising genetic foundation of Strawberry Cream with the sedative and relaxation properties of Blackberry, resulting in a complementary body high that rounds off the overall experience. Black Strawberries stands out in the modern cannabis market for its notably low THC content of just 7%, making it appealing to users who prefer a mild, functional high without overwhelming psychoactive effects. Despite lacking prestigious cannabis cup awards, the strain remains respected by those who have sampled it for its quality and unique characteristics. The plant exhibits typical indica morphology with a stocky, bushy appearance, broad fan leaves with thick leaflets, and short internodes, making it well-suited for small growing spaces and stealthy cultivation operations.

Growing Information
Black Strawberries has a flowering time of approximately 70 days (48-59 days reported in some sources). The strain is considered difficult to moderate in growing difficulty, requiring some experience due to its dense and bushy growth pattern. It can be cultivated indoors, outdoors, and in greenhouse settings. Indoor yields range from 0.5-1 oz per square foot (300 g/m²), while outdoor yields can reach 10-15 oz per plant (400 g/plant). The plant maintains a compact height of 30-60 inches both indoors and outdoors. Due to its bushy indica structure, growers need to ensure proper light exposure and air circulation throughout the canopy, particularly during late flowering when fungal pathogens pose risks. The Screen of Green (SCROG) method is particularly effective for managing height and maximizing yields.
