Manufacturer Information
Genetics & Origin of Black Orchid
Black Orchid combines two well-known lines from the US West Coast: Gelato and OG Kush. Original Sensible Seeds lists the cross as an Indica-dominant hybrid with 70% Indica and 30% Sativa and gives the THC content as 30%. The breeder does not state a CBD value. The look is striking: heavy, compact flowers with a dense covering of trichomes, whose purple tones contrast with orange-red pistils. The seeds are feminised and photoperiod, so flowering only sets in after the light cycle is switched. If you want to grow one of the parent lines on its own, you will find Gelato by Original Sensible Seeds in our range. The breeder also offers Auto Black Orchid as a separate autoflowering strain; the information here applies only to the photoperiod Black Orchid.
Who Is Black Orchid For?
Black Orchid is a high-yielding, very potent Indica hybrid. It suits:
- Growers aiming for high yields with at most ten weeks of flowering
- Indoor growers with enough headroom for plants 100 to 120 cm tall
- Outdoor gardeners with space for plants of around two metres
- Lovers of berry and pastry aromas and purple-coloured flowers
- Consumers with a high tolerance looking for a very strong strain
If you consume rarely or want a mild strain, this is the wrong place: according to the manufacturer, the body effect can overwhelm anyone who is not used to such potency. You can find more strong strains under Super High THC Content.
Growing Black Orchid: Indoor & Outdoor
Indoor Growing
Indoors, Black Orchid flowers for 63 to 70 days, i.e. nine to ten weeks, and reaches 100 to 120 cm. Original Sensible Seeds states a yield of 650 to 750 g/m². The flowers become heavy and compact: stakes or a net take the load off the shoots, and good air movement with controlled humidity keeps the dense flower clusters dry in the final weeks. Because of the strong aroma, an activated carbon filter makes sense. You will find the basics on climate and training in the Growpedia.
Outdoor Growing
Outdoors, according to the manufacturer, Black Orchid grows 180 to 220 cm tall and produces 700 to 1,000 g per plant. Original Sensible Seeds does not state a harvest time; so judge ripeness by the trichomes and not by the calendar. Plants of this size need a sunny spot sheltered from the wind, sufficient root space and, in good time, support for the heavy side shoots. You can find more strains for outdoors under outdoor seeds. Only grow where it is legal to do so.
Effect, Aroma & Terpenes of Black Orchid
Original Sensible Seeds describes the aroma of Black Orchid as a balsamic berry scent with creamy, buttery notes of blueberry pie, plus ripe forest berries, sweet citrus fruit and a hint of herbal spice. According to the manufacturer, the dominant terpene is myrcene, accompanied by pinene and caryophyllene. According to the breeder, the effect sets in with a euphoric, mood-lifting wave and then turns into deep physical relaxation; it describes the feeling as calm, happy and dreamy. At 30% THC, Black Orchid is one of the very potent strains – the intense body effect can be crushing for anyone who is not used to it. So start with small amounts; how intense the effect is depends on dose and individual tolerance.
