Shine (Black Diamond) - The Black - Pre-Roll - 1G

For Deep Ellum Seed Co., a Colorado-based breeder which originally started in Texas, The Black is its flagship strain. The Black is a cross of indigenous Mexican strains from Michoacán and Oaxaca mixed with Afghan and Green Vietnamese, which was created by breeder Dr. Dank in 2005.

According to the breeder, a deal was made with a Canadian seed bank that later claimed The Black as its own. While purple phenos had been bred out by Deep Ellum earlier on during the development phase, the backcrosses from stabilizing this strain caused the trait to re-emerge and ultimately embraced by the original creators. The dark foliage and underground history of all the parents led to the name. According to the Canadian seed bank BC Bud Depot, The Black has a unique, sweet flavor profile.
