Jet Black
Also known as: Jet Black OG
What is the Jet Black strain?
Jet Black is a indica cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and earthy flavor profile.
Jet Black is a relatively rare indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s from the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. The strain was developed through selective breeding practices aimed at creating a visually striking plant with potent effects. While its exact genetic origins remain somewhat obscure within the cannabis community, it is generally recognized as part of the broader 'OG' family, known for its distinctive structure and resin production.
The strain is named for its unique appearance when mature. The buds are typically dense and conical, with dark purple to nearly black coloration that intensifies in cooler nighttime temperatures during the flowering phase. This dramatic pigmentation is caused by high concentrations of anthocyanins. The dark foliage is contrasted by a thick coating of frosty white trichomes and occasional vibrant orange pistils, creating a visually striking presentation that makes Jet Black particularly notable among cannabis connoisseurs.
Jet Black is characterized by its complex aromatic profile and potent physical effects. The strain has gained a reputation among experienced users for its deeply relaxing properties and is often sought for evening or nighttime use. Due to its relative rarity and specific growing requirements, Jet Black is not as widely available as more commercial strains, making it somewhat of a specialty item in legal markets where it appears.

How do you grow Jet Black?
Jet Black is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, best suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors and are ready for outdoor harvest in late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere. Indoor yields are moderate, averaging 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under ideal conditions.
The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment or a Mediterranean-like outdoor climate with low humidity, as it is somewhat susceptible to mold and mildew due to its dense bud structure. Plants tend to remain medium in height, usually reaching 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. To maximize the distinctive dark coloration, growers often employ temperature differential techniques during the final weeks of flowering, with cooler nighttime temperatures (around 15-18°C/59-64°F) helping to bring out the deep purple and black hues. Regular pruning is recommended to improve airflow through the canopy.
