Rare Darkness
Also known as: Rare Dankness #1
What is the Rare Darkness strain?
Rare Darkness is a indica cannabis strain with up to 26.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and earthy flavor profile.
Rare Darkness is an indica-dominant hybrid strain that was developed by Rare Dankness Seeds in 2010. This strain is a cross between Grape Ape and Rare Dankness #1, though some sources also indicate a more complex lineage involving Ghost OG and Chemdawg, along with Triangle Kush and Grape Ape. The strain was created by Scott "Moonshine" Reach, the founder of Rare Dankness, who is known for his expertise in cannabis breeding and has developed numerous award-winning strains. The name reflects both its breeder and its characteristic dark appearance.
Rare Darkness is distinguished by its striking visual presentation, featuring dense fluffy light green nugs with rich amber undertones, dark purple leaves, and a coating of tiny amber crystal trichomes. The buds appear almost black due to their deep purple coloration, which is enhanced by exposing the strain to lower temperatures at the right time during the growth cycle. This unique appearance makes it easily recognizable and highly sought after by cannabis enthusiasts. The strain is characterized by a sweet and spicy herbal flavor of fresh grapes and earth that becomes tangy on each exhale, with a very spicy and earthy aroma with a musky grape overtone that becomes pungent as the nugs are burned.
