Black Domina

Black Domina, a legendary cannabis strain, is deceptively modest in size yet astonishing in its productivity and potency. Familiarizing yourself with this photoperiod and feminized variety is sure to leave an indelible impression, sparking a recurring desire to cultivate this magnificent plant. As a multiple winner of international competitions and cups, it consistently remains the preferred choice among connoisseurs devoted to indica hybrids.

History and Genetics

When Black Domina first hit the cannabis market back in 1996, it was nothing short of a sensation. Through a meticulously orchestrated series of complex multicross experiments, breeders successfully fused four distinct strains to create a true masterpiece. Dominated by indica (95/5), this hybrid combines the old-school charm of Afghani SA, the robustness of Hash Plant, the luminescence of Northern Lights, and the depth of Ortega strains. Each of these plants stands as a distinguished pillar of indica genetics. The photoperiod feminized Black Domina is a testament to this 'quartet' and encapsulates their best qualities. Its rich aroma, deep hues, and powerful effects make it a connoisseur's delight that highlights its unique heritage.

Characteristics

The overwhelming predominance of indica dictates the rapid maturation of this plant, requiring only 8-9 weeks for the flowering stage. Outdoors, harvest time aligns with the transition from September to October. At full maturity, indoor plants typically reach a height of no more than 1 m (3 ft), while their outdoor counterparts can tower up to 2 m (6.5 ft). This strain is characterized by a massive central cola, an abundance of large, dense, trichome-covered flowers, and a compact plant structure. These features contribute to impressive yields of up to 600 g/m2 (21 oz) indoors and about the same per plant outdoors. The THC content stands at no less than 20%, with a CBD level of 0.5% and a therapeutically valuable CBG within 1%.

Flavor and Aroma

Black Domina is noted for its complex combination of flavors and aromas, with a distinctive earthiness, hints of hash and spices, as well as subtle citrus and berry notes. The aftertaste is rich and oily.

Recreational and Medicinal Use

Don't be misled by Black Domina's relatively low THC content, especially when compared to many modern powerhouses, and never underestimate its potency. A few minutes after the first puff, you'll feel a soothing and relaxing wave of euphoria spreading through your body. The powerful and long-lasting high, verging on psychedelic nirvana, can send you far beyond the boundaries of the universe, balancing the conflicting demands of everyday life while maintaining mental clarity.

The strain’s diverse profile of terpenes and cannabinoids effectively combats stress, depression, and anxiety, alleviates pain and inflammation, promotes appetite restoration, and improves sleep.

Cultivation

Black Domina stands out for its resilience and adaptability, showing a remarkable tolerance for less-than-ideal growing conditions and beginners' mistakes. The vegetative stage typically takes up to 5 weeks, when plants form a massive central cola with equally robust lateral branches. The density of the canopy will require defoliation and humidity control. Avoid overwatering and overfeeding. Continuously monitor the pH and ppm levels of both irrigation and runoff water. Recommended training techniques include LST, FIMming, and mainlining. Using SoG/ScrOG setups allows you to keep the tops on a perfectly flat surface and uniformly saturate each bud with full-spectrum LED light. The lighting regime during the vegetative stage should be 18/6. Switch to 12/12 when the plant reaches a height of 20-25 cm (8-10 inches) to initiate flowering.
