After Dark
After Dark Strain Overview
After Dark is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain bred by Purple City Genetics, a renowned Oakland-based collective known for innovative cannabis genetics. This strain emerged as a carefully designed cross between Sunset Sherbet and Gush Mints, two modern heavyweight strains representing the best of Gelato and Cookies lineages. Purple City Genetics developed After Dark specifically for evening use, combining classic indica genetics with modern cultivation techniques to create a strain that embodies deep relaxation and sedation.
The strain features dense, resinous buds that showcase a striking visual profile with colors ranging from deep forest green to rich purples, depending on phenotype and growing conditions. Orange pistils contrast beautifully against the darker hues, while a thick layer of frosty trichomes gives the flowers a glistening appearance. After Dark has gained a dedicated following among cannabis enthusiasts for its potent sedative effects and distinctive aromatic profile, quickly cementing its status as a go-to indica for nighttime use. The strain typically contains THC levels ranging from 20-30%, making it particularly effective for users seeking powerful relaxation and sleep aid.

After Dark Strain Growing Information
After Dark is an indica-leaning strain with a flowering time of 9-10 weeks (approximately 67 days). It is available only as feminized seeds and is best suited for indoor cultivation, though it also performs well in controlled greenhouse conditions. The strain thrives in indoor settings where environmental controls such as temperature (68°F-76°F during vegetative phase), humidity, and lighting can be precisely managed. Thanks to its Sunset Sherbet genetics, After Dark produces solid yields compared to many exotic strains. Growers should allow the strain to 'go the distance' with a full flowering period for maximum terpene expression. The strain requires careful attention to detail and benefits from organic cultivation practices. It prefers warm, dry climates with temperatures between 70-80°F and requires abundant light. During the vegetative stage, it benefits from nitrogen-rich fertilization.
