Black Fire
Also known as: Blackfire
Overview
Black Fire, also known as 'Blackfire,' is an indica-dominant hybrid strain created by Ethos Genetics through crossing White Fire OG (WiFi) and an Afghan cultivar. With a genetics composition that may reach up to 75-90% indica heritage, this strain exhibits deeply relaxing characteristics paired with robust physical effects. In recent years, it has earned recognition on lists such as Leafly's 100 best weed strains of all time, solidifying its status as one of the most exciting cultivars on the market.
Black Fire produces big yields from cup-winning indica plants with large, dark, thick leaves and a classic indica structure with large dense flowers that provide a distinct, long-lasting indica high. The buds are densely packed and typically exhibit deep, dark hues that may range from rich forest greens to almost black, often displaying vibrant streaks and hints of purple that provide an alluring contrast against the dark foliage, frequently coated in a thick layer of trichomes. The top reported aromas include pungent earth, diesel, and spicy herbs, with a taste profile of diesel and sweet herbs. The strain won 3rd place for Best Indica Flower at the 2015 Denver Cannabis Cup.

Growing Information
Black Fire can be cultivated both indoors and outdoors with a flowering time of approximately 63 days (9 weeks) indoors and harvest ready from early to mid-October outdoors. This strain is known to produce big yields of 45-60 grams per square foot and large yields in ideal conditions. Growers claim this plant is of medium difficulty to grow, making it suitable for those who have time to properly tend to it, and can grow both indoors and outdoors. It produces short plants with broad leaves thanks to its indica heritage. The strain thrives best in a warm, slightly humid environment with ambient temperatures between 68°F and 80°F, and many cultivators note that using high-quality organic soil or coco coir can improve nutritional uptake.
