Black Phoenix
Black Phoenix
Overview
Black Phoenix is a sativa-dominant hybrid cannabis strain created by Dirty Bird Genetics through crossing Brunch F1 with Bahama Mama. This strain represents a careful blend of Solfire's legendary Bahama Mama genetics with the yield and balanced effects of the Brunch lineage. The strain was developed over the course of a year to harness the impressive traits found in the prized Bahama Mama 4 cut, meeting the high standards set by Dirty Bird Genetics.
Black Phoenix exhibits striking visual characteristics with vibrant green buds interspersed with orange pistils, creating vivid contrast against darker backgrounds. The strain develops beautiful magenta and purple coloration in the buds, leaves, and stems approximately two weeks into flowering, creating a spectacular visual display that continues throughout the flowering period. Buds typically measure between 1.5 to 2 inches in diameter with well-structured, robust formation and high trichome density reaching 70-80% coverage on bud surfaces, indicating high cannabinoid and terpene concentrations.
Laboratory testing consistently shows THC levels ranging from 18-24%, with many samples testing above 20% under optimal cultivation conditions. The strain maintains low CBD levels of 0.1-0.3%, emphasizing its sativa-dominant, high-THC profile. Minor cannabinoids such as CBG and CBC are present in trace amounts below 1%, contributing to the entourage effect.

Growing Information
Black Phoenix is suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation with moderate difficulty. The plant exhibits long internodal spacing, great airflow, and a very high calyx to leaf ratio. Growers should expect beautiful velvet purples and deep maroons during flowering, starting approximately 2 weeks into flower. The strain requires staking when weight accumulates due to its leggy structure, though it can hold itself up surprisingly well initially. Topping the plant several times can increase yields from average to above average. The genetics show 2-3 phenotypes but are largely homogenous with bud shape being the most noticeable difference. The strain demonstrates consistent quality and coloration across grows.
