Black Beard is a potent, indica-leaning hybrid from Karma Genetics, created by crossing Pirate Sweat (Black Afghani x (Bubba Kush x Sour Diesel IBL)) with the stalwart Biker 081 line. On first encounter, the buds emit a deep, earthy kush baseline, heavy soil, pine resin, and that is cut through by sharp diesel or sour-skunk notes. A whiff reveals warming spice, faint citrus zest and old-wood forest echoes. The flavor mirrors the scent: inhale brings rich earth and pine, exhale drifts into diesel-laden fuel and a touch of hashy sweetness. The high unfolds slowly but firmly. Initially a mental softness emerges, thoughts ease, mood lifts subtly, then the body follows with a defined sense of calm and muscle relaxation. For many users, Black Beard is ideally reserved for evening or night-time use, where unwinding and deep physical relief are the goal. Medicinally, it is sought out for stress alleviation, relief from physical tension or chronic aches, and as a sleep aid when the day’s been long. Growing it is straightforward for its breed: plants show sturdy stems and dense buds; indoor flowering generally spans 9–10 weeks, with medium to high yield potential. THC levels are typically > 20%, with some phenotypes reaching the mid-20% range, reflecting its intensity and resin production.
