Black Maple serves syrup with a side of gas. Sweet vanilla and grape funk roll into sour fuel, earthy wood, and pepper, giving this hybrid enough bite to balance its rich flavor. The name gets the breakfast order right; the finish belongs to the hash heads.
Bloom Seed Co. crossed Dulce de Uva with Sherbanger to create Black Maple. The Black Maple #22 cut is a selected phenotype of that pairing, prized for its sweet maple character, sour undertones, and solventless potential.
The aroma runs thick with creamy vanilla, syrupy sweetness, and pungent gas. Grape and funky fruit sit underneath, while the flavor can bring sherbet, pepper, and earthy notes into the mix. Different selections shift the balance, but sweetness and fuel do most of the talking.
Black Maple flower develops dense, sticky buds with green-to-purple coloring and a generous covering of trichomes. The #22 selection has also earned attention from hash makers, with resin production that gives its Black Maple live rosin reputation some substance.
Smoke room regulars describe a euphoric lift that settles into a mellow, deeply relaxing high. Black Maple strain effects can grow sleepier as the session goes on, making this hybrid a familiar choice for winding down. Sweet on arrival, increasingly serious about sitting down.
Black Maple’s original seed releases are listed as regular photoperiod seeds. A seed run offers different expressions to explore, while a Black Maple #22 clone carries that specific selection forward.
Bloom lists Black Maple #22 flowering time at approximately 9–10 weeks, with medium stretch and thick, crown-like branching. The breeder recommends multiple trellis layers to support the side branches. Flowering time and structure can vary in plants grown from seed.
The #22 cut’s high solventless yield potential makes it especially interesting for hash production. Support its branching early and maintain airflow around the developing flowers. Heavy resin is part of the appeal, although extraction returns still depend on the plant and the process.
