Also known as: Black 44
Negra 44 Strain Overview
Negra 44 is a potent indica-dominant cannabis strain that originated in Spain, specifically developed by the Spanish seed bank Medical Seeds. The strain's name reflects its dark coloration ('Negra' meaning 'black' in Spanish) and its 44-day flowering period, which is relatively short for a cannabis variety. This strain was bred for medical purposes, with particular attention to its therapeutic potential and manageable cultivation characteristics.
Visually, Negra 44 is distinguished by its dark purple to almost black buds, which are often covered in a thick layer of frosty trichomes. The leaves may exhibit deep purple hues, especially when exposed to cooler temperatures during the flowering phase. The buds are typically dense and compact, characteristic of indica varieties, with orange pistils providing contrast against the dark foliage. The plant structure is bushy and relatively short, making it suitable for indoor cultivation with limited vertical space.
Negra 44 has gained recognition for its balanced effects and distinctive flavor profile. While primarily indica, it contains some sativa genetics that provide an initial cerebral lift before transitioning to full-body relaxation. The strain is known for its resilience and adaptability to various growing conditions, though it performs best in controlled environments. Due to its Spanish origins, it has gained particular popularity in European cannabis circles, though it remains less common in North American markets.

Negra 44 Strain Growing Information
Negra 44 is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate. It has a flowering time of approximately 44 days indoors, which is relatively short. Outdoor plants are typically ready for harvest in late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere. The plant prefers indoor cultivation where environmental factors can be controlled, though it can also be grown outdoors in Mediterranean climates. Indoors, growers can expect yields of 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants may produce 500-600 grams per plant. The plant remains relatively compact, reaching heights of 80-120 cm indoors and 120-180 cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining stable temperatures (avoiding extreme cold) to encourage the characteristic purple coloration and providing adequate support for the dense buds. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and LST (low-stress training).
