RIL Black

RIL Black is a hybrid cannabis strain, known for its relaxed effects and chemical and diesel flavor profile.

RIL Black is a hybrid cannabis strain developed by Tonygreens Tortured Beans, created through crossing GG4 RIL (Gorilla Glue #4 Recombinant Inbred Line) with Black Rose. The strain represents advanced breeding work, utilizing a recombinant inbred line methodology where two highly inbred parental lines were combined to create superior F1 hybrid vigor. The GG4 RIL parent comes from nearly a decade of meticulous line breeding by Tony Green, combining Gorilla Bubble BX5 with GG4 BX6 to achieve over 95% genetic recovery of the original Gorilla Glue #4 characteristics.

The Black Rose parent contributes its own distinct characteristics to the cross. While there are multiple strains called Black Rose, the specific lineage used by Tonygreens appears to be Heath Robinson's creation combining Black Russian genetics with other undisclosed parents. This hybrid is designed for both indoor and outdoor cultivation, with a flowering time of approximately 63 days and expected yields ranging from medium to heavy. The strain showcases the sophisticated breeding approach that Tonygreens Tortured Beans is known for, creating stable genetics with consistent phenotype expression through rigorous line breeding and backcrossing techniques.
