Darkness Falls
Darkness Falls Strain Overview
Darkness Falls is a potent indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain developed by the breeder Exotic Genetix. The strain was created by crossing the popular indica strain Blackwater with the exotic hybrid Starfighter F2. This combination results in a strain that inherits the deep relaxation properties of its indica lineage while incorporating some unique terpene profiles from its hybrid parent.
The strain is characterized by its dense, chunky buds that display a striking visual appearance. The flowers typically feature deep purple and dark green hues, often accented by vibrant orange pistils and a generous coating of frosty trichomes. The name 'Darkness Falls' reflects both the strain's dark coloration and its tendency to induce a heavy, sedative effect that many users describe as enveloping like nightfall.
Darkness Falls has gained recognition among cannabis enthusiasts for its powerful effects and complex flavor profile. While not as widely available as some mainstream commercial strains, it has developed a dedicated following particularly among users seeking strong relaxation and sleep aid effects. The strain's genetic stability and consistent expression of traits have made it a reliable choice for both growers and consumers who appreciate its predictable indica-dominant characteristics.

Darkness Falls Strain Growing Information
Darkness Falls is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it better suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by late September to early October when grown outdoors. Indoor yields are average to above average, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in warm, Mediterranean-like climates. Plants tend to remain relatively compact, reaching heights of 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining stable temperatures and humidity levels, as the dense buds can be susceptible to mold if ventilation is inadequate. The plants respond well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield and light penetration.
