Strain Creator

Black Dog by Humboldt Seed Organization channels the power of Northern California's Kush lineage into a fast-finishing, indica-leaning hybrid. Bred from Blackberry Kush and Emerald Headband, it forms a vigorous, medium-to-large frame with a classic central cola and roughly 30% stretch after the flip, often flashing dark purple hues from its Blackberry side. Aromas lean rich and heady: ripe grape and forest berrys over a diesel core, translating faithfully to the palate. Structure favors even light penetration and tight internodes, with large crowning bud sites by week five. Indoors it wraps up quickly in 48-55 days, routinely delivering 400-500 g/m2; outdoors, tall plants around 2-3 meters can yield 1-3 kg per plant by late September or early October. Reported THC typically lands between 16-21% with low CBD, producing an effect that begins bright and euphoric before settling into a smooth, body-forward calm. Despite its potency, the cultivar is notably easy to grow and less prone to mold thanks to a brief bloom. Expect dense, resinous flowers that cure into inky, shimmering buds - the black dog name fits. Humboldt Seed Organization's selection captures a modern Kush profile that balances speed, yield, and layered flavor, making Black Dog a reliable staple for growers who value performance alongside an indulgent grape-berry-diesel bouquet.

This strain is so delicious, it has a kushy and sweet with some dank mendo breath smell. When it's broken up the smell changes to a sweet very earthy and skunky smell. The taste is like the smell after breaking it up with a nice kushy background. Smoke at night because it is strong stuff

These plants grew amazing under the tsw2000! I'm absolutely inlove with my new 4x4 tent and lights. The buds are beautiful to smoke with a nice woody nutty taste and a hint of fruit. I harvested with little amber trichomes which gave a nice high that left me as a heavy smoker still able to function somewhat. This makes this particular harvest more of an all day strain at this point of harvest :) Drying inside the smaller mars tent with a dehumidifier really helped when the weather got a bit humid.

This is by far one of my favorite plants I’ve ever grown. It didn’t produce a lot as it was stunted in the beginning but man is it TOP SHELF quality!! Definitely going to give this another try next grow!!

She is a really enjoyable smoke. She has a strong sweet blackberry/currant taste with gassy notes. Would highly recommend for a evening/night time smoke.

I've left these buds to cure for around three months. They are a nice dry without being crispy, burn really well and are developing a very nice mix of terpenes.

Start off big seeds hehe it was a really fast grower, sprouted in less then 24 and she can grow big colas This would be a great strain for indoor growing 1 of the top nugs was full of mold so I put the disease neutral Not bad of a harvest
