Dark Phoenix
Dark Phoenix Strain Overview
Dark Phoenix is a sativa-dominant hybrid strain (60% sativa/40% indica) created through crossing the classic Trainwreck and Jack Herer strains. Developed by Green House Seed Company, this strain was created by crossing the famous California cut Trainwreck, which has been a reference for many years for medicinal use, with the equally famous and near-mythical-status Jack Herer to bring the compactness and foxtailing characteristics to Jack's distinctive smell and amazing production. Dark Phoenix buds are visually striking, featuring emerald green and purple-hued buds coated in thick glandular trichomes, with patches of bright amber pistils that create a fiery glow through the buds, and colors that can range from blue to deep, dark black leaves on some plants.
The strain exhibits a complex aromatic profile that combines the best characteristics of its parent strains - breaking apart these beautiful buds releases sharp citrus and pine scents laced with petrol and spice, which becomes smooth when combusted as earthy notes of citrus and pine carry through on the exhale, creating a real explosion of flavors combining the complex mix of piney, earthy and hazy flavors of Jack Herer with the pungent smell of Trainwreck to bring lemony spiciness to the sativa mix. Dark Phoenix grows relatively tall but can be easily controlled using cultivation techniques such as SCROG, with particularly vigorous stretch during the transition to flowering that develops numerous secondary branches, and flowers that develop quickly after the stretch, forming long buds composed of an explosion of calyxes typical of Sativa strains.

Dark Phoenix Strain Growing Information
Dark Phoenix is definitely an easy to manage plant that offers very satisfying results, with flowering time of 8-10 weeks (56-70 days) and medium to high yields. While Dark Phoenix grows well in a variety of setups, these plants can grow very tall (averaging between 170–200cm tall outdoors) and will need to be trained using LST and topping in tents or grow rooms to keep their vigorous growth under control, and plants are also good candidates for defoliation and lollipopping. Average outdoor yields for this strain are around 700g/plant with harvest ready by mid to late October, while indoor harvests vary depending on growing methods. Some growers note that this strain can be a bit challenging in the vegetative stage, but once it enters the second week of bloom, growth accelerates rapidly. The strain may have weak resistance to mold and requires low humidity (around 40% RH) during flowering.
