Nirvana
These days, everyone has their BlackBerry® to stay connected
and functional in the modern world. Nirvana believes their
version of Black Berry may help you deal with the pace of the
modern world in a different sense. The Black Berry variety
actually gets its name from a combination of its parents’
names; it is a Black Domino/Raspberry Cough hybrid. The
Black Domino mother is an indica-dominant hybrid that
originated in the Seattle area, then traveled to Amsterdam in
clone form. In this cross, she is combined with Raspberry
Cough (also in this book), an indica-sativa hybrid of Nirvana’s
ICE strain, and a landrace strain from Cambodia.
Black Berry likes a steady, stable home that is kept within
ideal parameters. Because this plant is exacting, results will be
largely based on the gardener’s ability to maintain conditions,
making it more suitable to an experienced hand and an
established gardening setup. Black Berry is best as an indoor
plant due to its sensitivity to weather variation and its
flowering time, which ranges from 9 to 11 weeks depending on
the phenotype. Indoor environments are the only suitable
places for this plant outside the equatorial region, but inside
that geographic area, it can thrive outdoors and will finish by
the middle or end of October.
Black Berry retains her Black Domino mother’s figure,
forming a tight, almost prim narrow plant structure that is
branchier for some phenotypes. Growth is uniform and
compact, and turns dark velvety green. This strain performs
best in soil, but flourishes in many setups, including sea of
green arrangements or as multi-branch plants. The Black Berry
bud development is also tight, forming long pointy, or in some
cases, bulb-shaped colas with minimal hairs. Despite the
density of the buds, Black Berry is resistant to molds. It is also
a very stinky grower. Using organics helps to bring out the best
flavor and aroma. By finish, Black Berry roughly doubles in size
and averages yields of 400–500 grams per square meter in a
sea of green with 600-watt lights.
The Black Berry high is upbeat and clear, with a quick onset
and a nice tapering endurance. It is a functional smoke well
suited to daytime activities and can create a more casual
unhurried sense of wellbeing without impairing one beyond
comfort in most social situations. The flavor is heavy and fuellike and forms thick smoke. The finish leaves hints of spicy
South Asian flavor on the tongue. Black Berry was released in
2009, and has gained fast popularity among patients in
Canada.
