Dark Knight
Also known as: Batman OG, The Dark Knight
Overview
Dark Knight is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain with genetics tracing back to two legendary purple strains - Granddaddy Purple (GDP) and Purple Kush. This strain emerged as a tribute to Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy and has gained attention primarily as a medicinal strain due to its higher CBD content compared to typical recreational strains. The strain exhibits the distinctive characteristics of its purple ancestry, producing vivid green buds accented with purple hues and coated in golden trichomes that give it a fuzzy, amber glow. Dark Knight's aroma combines earthy, kushy, and fruity notes with sweet grape undertones, creating a rich and complex scent profile. The strain is noted more for its therapeutic properties than its psychoactive effects, making it particularly valuable for medical cannabis patients. While not widely available, Dark Knight can be found in select dispensaries, primarily on the West Coast of the United States.
