Black Beauty
Black Beauty is a unique hybrid cultivar recognized for its reported THCV content and a distinct flavor profile blending sweet pineapple with petroleum notes.
About Black Beauty
The history of Black Beauty centers on an account from cultivator George Bianchini, who reportedly rescued a plant during a raid on Oaksterdam University in Oakland, California. Originally identified by the university as Purple Pineapple, a high-CBD cultivar, Bianchini claims the plant's chemical profile shifted over time, ceasing CBD production while developing mild levels of THC and the rare cannabinoid THCV. Users report that this cannabinoid profile contributes to a quick-acting, intense cerebral experience accompanied by physical relaxation. The sensory profile is described as sweet and refreshing, characterized by a combination of pineapple and petroleum aromas.
Plant characteristics
The plant exhibits a purple lineage, manifesting in blackish-purple buds that are heavily coated in trichomes. According to Sensible Seeds, the strain is a 60% sativa and 40% indica hybrid that requires a lengthy flowering period.
