Black Beauty

Black Beauty is a evenly balanced hybrid (50% indica/50% sativa) strain with a character all of its own. This well-regarded bud boasts a THC level that ranges from 12-18% on average, with 0.6% CBD. Seeds come in regular form, and demand from home growers has never really slowed.

The Black Beauty high balances both sides of its lineage: a happy head buzz up front, and a soothing physical warmth that follows a few minutes behind. The handoff between head and body is seamless, making it easy to dose for either a productive afternoon or a slow evening. Because of these effects, Black Beauty is often chosen for managing chronic stress, muscle tension and mild to moderate depression, especially by those who want relief without reaching for anything heavier.

Black Beauty has a delicious sweet and diesel flavor that lingers on the tongue long after the exhale, with an aroma to match that grows sharper as the buds are broken apart. Each exhale leaves a sweet-tinged aftertaste that keeps you coming back for one more taste. This bud has dense grape-shaped bright neon green nugs, thin orange hairs and a fine dusting of milky white trichomes.

For growers, Black Beauty offers a manageable grow for anyone with a harvest or two behind them — expect plants flowering in a standard 9-10 weeks, at home indoors or outdoors. Given steady feeding and a little light training, it rewards the effort with heavy, resin-coated colas. Plants stretch to a medium height with strong side branching, equally at home in a tent or a garden bed. Its genetics run through the wider Beauty family — see Italian Beauty and Ozark Beauty Punch for close relatives worth comparing before you buy.
