What is the Dark Phoenix strain?
Dark Phoenix is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 25.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.
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.
