Black Russian seeds. Damn. Where do I even start?
They’re not for everyone—I’ll say that right off the bat. These little suckers pack a punch, and not the kind that whispers sweet nothings in your ear. No, this is the kind that grabs you by the collar and says, “Sit down. Shut up. You’re not going anywhere for a while.”
So yeah, if you’re looking for a mellow, daytime, get-shit-done kind of strain? Keep walking. Black Russian is more like a velvet hammer. Heavy indica vibes, almost narcotic. Like, couch-lock central. You hit this and suddenly the floor feels like a good place to be. Or the ceiling. Or nowhere at all.
The genetics are wild—Black Domina crossed with White Russian. Sounds like a Cold War cocktail, right? But it works. Somehow. You get this deep, earthy sweetness, like overripe berries mashed into soil. There’s a weird floral thing too, like someone crushed a rose into a bong. It’s not subtle. It’s not trying to be.
Growing it? Eh. Not the easiest, not the hardest. It’s short, bushy, stubborn as hell. Like a pissed-off bonsai tree. But if you treat her right—give her some love, maybe whisper to her when no one’s looking—she’ll reward you. Dense, sticky buds. Trichomes like frost on a windshield. Smells like something illegal even when it’s not.
Indoor growers love her. She doesn’t stretch much, so you can cram a bunch into a small space. Sea of green style. Flip the lights and boom—she flowers fast. Like, 7-8 weeks fast. Outdoor? Meh. She can handle it, but she’s not thrilled about it. Rain makes her moody. Mold is a real bitch with these tight buds.
But the high . . . man. It’s like sinking into warm syrup. Your limbs go soft, your brain goes sideways, and suddenly you’re thinking about that one time in 7th grade when you said something dumb in front of your crush. It’s introspective. A little weird. Sometimes funny, sometimes not.
Medical folks dig it for pain, insomnia, anxiety. It’s like a weighted blanket for your soul. But don’t expect to be productive. This isn’t a “clean the garage” strain. This is a “stare at the wall and contemplate the void” strain. And that’s not a bad thing. Sometimes you need the void.
I’ve grown it twice. Smoked it more times than I can count. Once I hit it before a movie and forgot what movie we were watching. Still don’t remember. Worth it.
If you’re into heavy indicas, or just want to get weird and sleepy and maybe cry a little (in a good way), Black Russian’s your girl. Just don’t say I didn’t warn you.
