What is the Dark Night strain?
Dark Night is a indica cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and earthy flavor profile.
Dark Night is an indica-dominant cannabis strain known for its deeply relaxing effects and distinctive dark coloration. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, with multiple breeders claiming development, though it is generally accepted to be a phenotype selection from the broader Black family of cannabis strains. Its name references both the dark appearance of the mature flowers and the sedative, night-time oriented effects for which it is primarily used.
The strain is visually distinctive, with buds that often display deep purple, almost black hues, particularly in cooler growing conditions where anthocyanin pigments become more pronounced. The flowers are typically dense and resinous, covered in a thick layer of trichomes that give them a frosty appearance. Dark Night's aroma profile combines earthy, woody notes with subtle hints of berry and spice, creating a complex sensory experience that many users find appealing.
While not as widely documented as some mainstream commercial strains, Dark Night has developed a dedicated following among indica enthusiasts who appreciate its potent effects and unique appearance. The strain is particularly noted for its ability to induce deep physical relaxation while maintaining some mental clarity at lower doses, though higher doses typically lead to strong sedative effects. Its rarity in commercial markets means that most available specimens come from boutique growers or specialized seed banks.

The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates.
