Black Beard

Black Beard is a evenly balanced hybrid (50% indica/50% sativa) strain with a character all of its own. THC testing typically lands between 21% and 27%, pairing raw strength with a 1% CBD content. Seeds come in regular form, and demand from home growers has never really slowed.

The Black Beard 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. These combined effects make Black Beard a frequent pick among patients dealing with chronic stress, muscle tension and mild to moderate depression, and a reliable standby for anyone medicating on a schedule.

Black Beard has a delicious coffee and chocolate flavor that lingers on the tongue long after the exhale, with an aroma to match that grows sharper as the buds are broken apart. The smoke is smooth on the inhale with a chocolate finish that builds the longer the session runs. This bud has compact rounded forest green nugs with cool blue undertones, thin orange hairs and a fine dusting of milky white trichomes.

In the garden, Black Beard is a manageable grow for anyone with a harvest or two behind them, flowering in a standard 9-10 weeks and performing well 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 Beard family — see Beard on Fire and Black Beard's Boot for close relatives worth comparing before you buy.
