Black Mamba is a dark cannabis flower with dusk-colored leaves that -- just like its venomous reptilian counterpart -- can pack a real punch both with its effects and pungent aroma when smoked. Black Mamba is a hybrid flower that was created through the cross-breeding of Black Domina and either Granddaddy Purp or Bubblejuice. Due to Black Mamba’s pungent terpenes, it can give some earthy after-tones when being ground up and has a very prominent taste of grape when being consumed. When burned the smoke is very smooth and can leave a reminiscent red wine flavor profile on your tongue after exhaling. Black Mamba Strain Characteristics Black Mamba upholds its bold name being an indica-based strain with a highly potent THC content. With an average THC content ranging around 25%, it’s herbal smell and grape-like profile has captivated many. Beware that Black Mamba’s highly pungent smoke brings new meaning to the term “loud pack”: This is not the flower for smokers looking to consume discreetly or alone since one whiff of Black Mamba can quickly attract new friends (or unwanted attention)! Black Mamba can be easily identified by the dark coloring of its leaves, the slightly sweet aromatic smell that can drift of the nugs themselves and by the white trichomes on the flower that can make it sticky and difficult to break down. Growing Black Mamba Black Mamba isn’t the easiest flower to grow as not many have succeeded with indoor cultivation of this strain. Black Mamba is mostly cultivated outdoors in a climate of about 75-degrees F. It will take anywhere from 8-14 weeks to grow and can give you a heavy yield due to its long growing time.
