About Blackwater
Blackwater is an indica that crosses Mendo Purps with SFV OG Kush, a pairing linked to Ocean Grown Seeds in California. It has a dedicated following in US markets among fans of purple OG strains.
The aroma blends sweet grape with earthy pine and a faint lemony kush note. Buds are usually dense and dark, with deep purple and green coloring, orange hairs and a frosty trichome coat. Myrcene often supports the earthy, fruity base, caryophyllene adds a peppery edge, and limonene can bring a light citrus brightness.
Blackwater is commonly described as relaxed, sleepy and happy. Many people reach for it at night, when a heavy, soothing body feel and a contented mood suit the end of the day. THC usually ranges from 18% to 24%, with little CBD, and potency varies by grower and batch.
Blackwater can suit people who want a classic purple indica for evenings. Start low, go slow, and plan to stay in, since it is often reported as very relaxing. Use WhereLeaf to find Blackwater at licensed dispensaries and delivery services near you.
