Where The Black Diamond Strain Is Grown

Black Diamond originated in Northern California as a cross between Blackberry and Diamond OG. No one really knows who first bred the strain.

Black Diamond Aroma

The Black Diamond strain smells kinda like red wine with its earthy, musky, pungent aroma that also features hints of sweet grape.

Black Diamond Strain Growing Info

The Black Diamond strain can be grown indoors or out and prefers soil rather than a hydroponic medium. If you’re planning to cultivate outdoors, know this strain produces a pretty powerful aroma, so it may be tough to conceal the fact you’re growing (if that’s something you need to do).

Indoor plants typically reach heights of about 48 inches, and outdoor plants will likely grow to around five feet. In either environment, you’ll need to ensure your plants get adequate food, either via living soil or synthetic nutrients.

Veg time is largely subjective (it all depends on how tall or bushy you’d like your plants to grow), and flowering time should take around 60 to 73 days. As a photoperiod strain, Black Diamond will need tightly controlled lighting conditions, or it may hermaphrodite, leaving undesirable seeds inside your bud.

Black Diamond Terpene Profile

Black Diamond’s dominant terpene is myrcene (0.23%), which lends a musky, fruity, earthy aroma to both its scent and flavor. Other prominent terpenes in this strain include:

  • Camphene — 0.19%
  • Caryophyllene — 0.12%
  • Pehllandrene — 0.11%
  • Linalool — 0.11%
  • Limonene — 0.09%
  • Pinene — 0.07%

Top Three Strains Similar to Black Diamond

Blackberry

Their flavors might not be all that similar, but the Mango strain delivers many of the same effects as Black Diamond OG.

FAQs About the Black Diamond Strain

What does the Black Diamond strain typically yield?

Indoor plants typically yield around 0.5 to one ounce per square foot. If you grow outdoors, expect about 10 to 15 ounces per plant.

Is Black Diamond good for medical cannabis patients?

Many medical tokers find that Black Diamond can help alleviate stress, pain, depression, low appetite, and anxiety. If you live with one of the aforementioned conditions, this strain may be able to help you.

Is the Black Diamond strain indica or sativa?

It’s a bit of both, but the ratio can vary a bit depending on the grower. Generally, Black Diamond is 30% sativa and 70% indica.

Black Diamond Strain Summary

If you wanna relax and get giggly, the Black Diamond strain will definitely get you where you’re looking to go. This strain is pretty scarce, so if you can’t find it, you’ll probably also like strains with similar effects like Bootlegger and Blackberry Trainwreck.
