Dark Desire
Dark Desire Strain Overview
Dark Desire is an indica-dominant hybrid strain that has gained recognition in modern cannabis culture through multiple breeding programs. The most prominent version is bred by Ziplock Seeds as a phenotype of Cap Junky crossed with KY Jealousy, specifically selected for its relaxing effects. This strain has achieved notable success, including winning 1st Place at NECANN 2025. An earlier version was developed by Gooey Breeder using genetics including Zinn, Gooey 84%, and Double Deth (a Deth Grip x Gooey cross), known for its true purple coloration that appears from the onset of flowering without requiring cool temperatures.
Dark Desire is characterized by its striking visual appeal, featuring dark purple rounded nugs with deep olive green leaves, dark amber hairs, and a coating of rich purple-tinted crystal trichomes. The strain exhibits robust growth with dense, trichome-covered buds and is noted for its resinous nature. What sets this strain apart is its complex flavor profile combining sweet and fruity blackberry notes with earthy undertones, pungent herbs and spices, and hints of tropical fruit with a bite of black pepper. The aroma has been described as reminiscent of fresh blackberry pie with pungent herbal overtones.
