Black Alpha
Also known as: Black Alpha by Lineage Genetics
Overview
Black Alpha is an indica-dominant hybrid strain developed by Lineage Genetics, created through a cross between Black Domina and Critical. Black Domina brings legendary indica genetics from four powerhouse strains (Northern Lights, Hash Plant, Ortega, and Afghani SA), while Critical contributes its Afghani x Skunk #1 heritage known for high yields and robust growth. This combination results in a strain that showcases the best of indica genetics with enhanced productivity and resilience. Black Alpha produces super dense buds with a fruity fragrance and notably heavy yields, making it particularly attractive to commercial growers. The strain is characterized by its relatively short flowering time of just 55 days, making it efficient for cultivation cycles. Users report that Black Alpha provides a tremendous relaxing feeling, with smooth smoke that tastes slightly of orange with sweet and spicy undertones. The strain's robust nature makes it suitable for both novice and experienced growers, as it can handle unintentional stress while maintaining impressive production potential.

Growing Information
Black Alpha is suitable for both novice and experienced growers, with a difficulty level considered beginner-friendly due to its robust nature and stress tolerance. The strain has a relatively short flowering time of 55 days (approximately 8 weeks), making it attractive for quick turnover. Indoor yields range from 600-700 grams per square meter, while outdoor cultivation can produce 800+ grams per plant. The strain can be cultivated both indoors and outdoors, with outdoor harvest typically occurring in early September. Plants are known for producing super dense buds and are particularly well-suited for large-scale commercial operations. The robust genetics make it resilient to common cultivation errors, though growers should be prepared to support heavy branches due to the dense bud production.
