Black Dog

Humboldt Seed Organization developed the Black Dog strain (cultivar), an indica-dominant hybrid of Blackberry Kush and Emerald Headband comprised of 85% indica and 15% sativa. With high THC levels and a heavy indica influence, Black Dog is a great strain for mental and physical effects like pain relief.

The lesser-known terpenes, ocimene, sabinene, and phellandrene, are most abundant in Black Dog, contributing to its powerful cerebral effects for many users. Tart notes of blackberry tease the palate, while woodsy and piney notes refresh the senses.
