Black Mamba

Black Mamba: Deep, Dark, and Potent

Black Mamba seeds grow into uber-tall plants adorned with dark green leaves, lighter green buds, and dusty resin covering the entirety. The buds have small orange hairs slithering out and upwards. Once clipped, dried, and completely harvested, the nuggets brighten up, looking fresh, light green, and amber. The somewhat stemmy nuggets are powerful and potent, even in small amounts. The skunky and earthy scent is noticeable once you break the nuggets open. Because Black Mamba is so young in the cannabis world, it has not won any major awards; however, if it does enter Cannabis Cup events, it has a really great shot at taking home some hardware. The reviews of this strain online are fantastic, with many users calling Black Mamba their favorite Indica-dominant strain.

Growing Tips for Our Seeds

Whether you cultivate it indoors or outdoors, this serpentine beauty adapts effortlessly. Controlling temperature, humidity, and airflow is essential for maintaining a stable environment.

Dial in Your Growing Conditions

• Indoor or Outdoor: Black Mamba can be grown both indoors and outdoors by experienced growers. The ideal temperature for these plants is between 70-85 degrees Fahrenheit. Generally, providing 12 hours of uninterrupted darkness triggers the transition from vegetative growth to flowering. Increase the dark period to 13 or 14 hours to lengthen the flowering phase. Conversely, to hasten the flowering process, reduce the dark period to 10 or 11 hours.
•  Moisture control: For this plant, keep humidity levels around 40% to 50% while in the growing stage and reduce them to approximately 30% to 40% during the flowering stage. This will ensure that mold and mildew stay away.
• Training Techniques: Regular pruning and training techniques are highly beneficial to your plants. They enhance light exposure, encourage ideal canopy growth, and produce large cannabis yields. Methods such as topping or LST (low-stress training) are known to contribute to ideal plant growth.

Dominant Terpenes in Black Mamba: Deliciously Potent

The Black Mamba terpene profile is directly responsible for how the plant smells and tastes and the strong effects it has on its users. The most dominant terpene in this strain is myrcene, limonene, and humulene are the major terpenes.

• Myrcene: Most Dominant – Earthy, herbal aroma. Pain-relieving and sedative properties.
• Limonene: Secondary Terpene – Found in citrus fruits it is what gives cannabis its flavor.
• Humulene: Spicy, Earthy, and Woody– Cannabis strains with a hoppy, peppery flavor are typically high in humulene.

Dominant Cannabinoids in Black Mamba:

Cannabinoids play an important role in Black Mamba seeds and are generally a huge part of most cannabis strains. That euphoric, focused, and happy feeling you get when enjoying the Black Mamba strain is due to its dominant cannabinoids. Each cannabinoid does something different to the user.

• THC: The Main Character – THC is the most dominant cannabinoid on the molecular level of this strain. The crystalline compound tetrahydrocannabinol is the main ingredient of cannabis. Topping out at a massive 25%, the THC in this Indica-dominant strain is responsible for the euphoric and happy feeling you get when using Black Mamba.
• CBD: Very Minimal Amounts – While the CBD levels in Black Mamba are around 1%, the cannabinoid is still present, and the effects are noticeable in this strain. CBD plays a smaller role in what the strain does to the user. CBD is non-psychoactive and can produce effects that help with anxiety, sleep, pain, and even stress. The CBD in the Black Mamba strain, even in its lower amounts, definitely has a positive effect on the user.
