Understanding the Black Amber Weed Strain
The black amber weed strain was created by Full Moon Genetics through crossing GMO (Garlic, Mushroom, Onion) and OZ Kush BX2. This indica-dominant hybrid packs THC levels ranging from 18% to 32%, with most batches testing between 27-32%. The CBD content stays minimal at around 1%, making this a THC-forward experience.
Black Amber’s incredible bud structure sets it apart. Growers describe the colas as “braided” – 4 to 6 top colas weaving together like an intricate basket. These dense buds develop signature deep violet hues that can appear almost black under certain lighting, complemented by bright orange pistils and heavy trichome coating.
The complex effects come from what scientists call the “entourage effect.” Scientific research on terpene synergy shows how different cannabis compounds work together to create experiences greater than the sum of their parts.
Why Is the Black Amber Weed Strain So Dark?
The black amber weed strain gets its dramatic coloration from anthocyanins – the same pigments that make blueberries blue and red wine red.
These anthocyanins only appear when cannabis plants experience cool nighttime temperatures during flowering. When temps drop below 50
