Black Diamond (also known as "Black Diamond OG" or "Black Diamond Kush") is a rare, heavily indica-dominant hybrid strain originating from Northern California. It is primarily recognized for its deep purple hues, glistening trichome coverage, and potent sedative effects, making it a popular choice for evening use. Profile and Genetics Lineage: A cross between the flavorful Blackberry and the potent Diamond OG (an OG Kush descendant). Genetic Makeup: Most sources categorize it as roughly 70% to 90% indica. Cannabinoid Content: THC: Typically ranges from 18% to 24%, with some phenotypes reaching up to 26%. CBD: Generally low, around 1%. Note that a specific Black Diamond CBD variant also exists with 0% THC and 15-20% CBD for non-psychoactive therapeutic use. Aroma and Flavor The strain is noted for a complex, "sultry" profile often compared to red wine. Scent: Strong musky and earthy base with sweet, ripe berry and grape overtones. Taste: Deeply fruity (blackberry and grape) on the inhale, followed by a woody, peppery, or slightly skunky exhale
