Kettle Black

Kettle Black is a evenly balanced hybrid (50% indica/50% sativa) strain that has quietly built a dedicated following. This well-regarded bud boasts a THC level that ranges from 16-22% on average, with 0.3% CBD. Seeds come in regular form, and demand from home growers has never really slowed.

The Kettle Black high balances both sides of its lineage: a happy head buzz up front, and a soothing physical warmth that follows a few minutes behind. Neither side ever overpowers the other, which is exactly why well-bred hybrids like this one earn permanent shelf space. These combined effects make Kettle Black 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.

On the palate, expect lemon up front, backed by an aroma that fills the room the moment the jar opens. Each exhale leaves a lemon-tinged aftertaste that keeps you coming back for one more taste. This bud has compact rounded vivid green nugs with warm amber tones, fiery orange hairs and a sticky layer of golden-white trichomes.

In the garden, Kettle Black 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 Black family — see Black Grapefruit and Black Grapes for close relatives worth comparing before you buy.
