What is the Dark Cross strain?

Dark Cross is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 20.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and banana and citrus flavor profile.

Dark Cross is an indica-dominant hybrid strain (70% indica/30% sativa) created through crossing Gooey with a combination of Lava and Zinn strains. Named for its striking appearance and potent effects, Dark Cross represents a modern breeding achievement that combines classic indica genetics with contemporary refinement. The strain is characterized by its dense, pepper-shaped dark olive green buds with deep purple, almost black undertones that give the strain its distinctive name. Thick orange hairs contrast beautifully against the dark foliage, while chunky dark purple crystal trichomes create a frosty, resinous coating that speaks to the strain's potency and quality.

This strain has gained recognition among cannabis enthusiasts for its balanced yet indica-leaning effects and complex flavor profile. The high begins with a creeping onset that gradually builds into a euphoric and focused mental state, clearing away racing thoughts and negative moods. This cerebral elevation is followed by gentle physical tingles that develop into soothing waves of relaxation, eventually settling into a state of pure physical ease with some couch-lock potential. The combination of mental clarity and physical relaxation makes Dark Cross suitable for both therapeutic and recreational use.
