Heart of Darkness

Heart of Darkness is a rare cannabis strain developed by SnowHigh Seeds, representing what the breeder describes as 'original place of origin genetics' with only limited quantities released. The strain features distinctive black seeds that are 'black as midnight,' which gives the variety its evocative name. This strain represents a complex three-way hybrid combining genetics from Central Asian and African landrace varieties, specifically an Afghani Narrow Leaf cut crossed with Uzbekistan Indica and Black Congolese genetics.

The strain's development relates to the historical context of Afghan cannabis cultivation, where traditional narrow-leaf varieties were prized for their quality but were later crossed with broader-leaf varieties to increase yields and resin production. Heart of Darkness appears to be an attempt to preserve some of these older, higher-quality genetics that have become increasingly rare. The breeder emphasizes that this represents genetics from families that have been cultivating these plants for many generations, making it a significant preservation effort of traditional cannabis genetics from the Central Asian regions including Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Afghanistan.
