Blackwater Kush
Blackwater Kush also known as “Pinnacle Black Water,” is a heavily indica dominant hybrid (90% indica/10% sativa) created through a cross of the insanely popular Mendocino Purps X SFV OG strains. This bud packs a powerful punch of sweet grapey flavors accented by earthy berry and lemony pine that is sure to please any connoisseur. The aroma is very musky and pungent with dank earth accented by sweet grape and tart lemon. Blackwater buds have small round bright neon green nugs with thin amber hairs and a frosty thick coating of oversized white chunky crystal trichomes. The Blackwater high is very heavy in nature, leaving any user stoned for hours on end regardless of their level of experience. The high starts with a euphoric uplifted effect that immediately relaxes both your mind and body without causing any increase in energy or anxiety. These effects quickly become sedative in nature, pulling your body down into a deep couch-lock as your mind succumbs to psychoactive imaginative thoughts. Because of these effects and its THC level, Pinnacle Back Water is said to be a great choice for treating patients suffering from conditions such as chronic pain, depression, headaches or migraines, appetite loss, and chronic anxiety or stress.
Blackwater’s chunky buds have a classically indica bud structure: leaves are densely-packed and tightly curled in on themselves when properly cured. High resin production makes the leaves adhere in large, solid flowers rather than popcorn-like nuggets. The flowers appear dark green, with some phenotypes showing flashes of purple inherited from the Mendocino Purple parent strain; this latter color comes about when high concentrations of specific pigments are activated by colder than average weather in the cultivation process. Blackwater’s large, colorful buds are covered in a substantial layer of trichomes, often making them difficult to break apart by hand. This strain’s “bag appeal” persists even after the bag is cracked open — users will notice a deeply sweet smell of berry and grape to complement its purple hues. Taking time to break open the flowers will also show evidence of the Afghani landrace lineage, with an unmistakably herbal, hashy smell. When burnt, Blackwater gives off an incense-like smoke that is surprisingly smooth for an indica. The satisfying hit finishes with a fruity and vaguely skunky cloud that may linger for a while.
Definitely a strain made for staying in and not venturing out, Blackwater offers a palpable indica body stone. Although it mounts slowly, smokers shouldn’t underestimate this high’s ability to comfortably pin them down in their surroundings. Within minutes, a sense of calm envelops the core and spreads down through the limbs, allowing users to breathe comfortably and easily. Although there may be some psychedelic changes in perception like visual distortion, cerebral thinking isn’t common; users should expect a more dreamy high, perfect for unwinding with a movie or some favorite music without bothering to follow along or reflect too intensely. This full body high intensifies as greater amounts are consumed. Medically speaking, these narcotic effects have diverse applications. Blackwater’s physical numbing makes it an effective painkiller for those with aches and pains, whether incidental from exercise or injury, or more chronic caused by conditions like fibromyalgia. It can even relieve some of the negative side effects of chemotherapy treatment. Blackwater is also helpful for stress-related conditions like anxiety and PTSD, temporarily melting away preoccupations and concerns. In large enough doses, this strain can induce deep sleep for those who suffer from insomnia. With a high that lasts longer than average, Blackwater is known to be one potent indica, even for those with a high tolerance for THC.Blackwater Kush
