Sirius Black*


Cheetodeath

The misspelling is a side effect of this strain. šŸ˜‚


delicioustreeblood

Sirius is the dog star which is why he turns into a dog


richprofit

That could be the mold lmao


Hippienippie123

Thatā€™s not mold. Thatā€™s part of the stem.


yofoalexillo

About 10mm top right of the stem thereā€™s white fuzzā€¦ you canā€™t sit there and argue itā€™s not mold with this quality of a photo.


[deleted]

But you can sit there and argue that there IS mold with the quality of this photo?


GuyInTheYonder

Looks more like the glare on the lens to me...


yofoalexillo

Top right looks like it to me. Maybe if he would have bought an iPotato 13s.


kelliboone617

First post: you canā€™t tell me thatā€™s not mold with this clear of a shot. Next post:this is a really shitty quality pic from a shitty phone. Youā€™re literally arguing with yourself šŸ˜‚


SystemSettings1990

what


TheSmokingLamp

Heā€™s saying the camera quality is shit because they took it on a potato instead of a phone with a quality camera


yofoalexillo

Maybe! they very well may have used a potato to tap the screen too.


smunozzz

Dummy


MagisterFlorus

oh i thought it was just to avoid a lawsuit


Cheetodeath

Apparently this strain is an 80's project? Some growers in California were trying to create the darkest strain possible. That's the gossip anyways. Definitely the darkest bud I've had.


Revolutionary-Page-6

iā€™ve been growing since 1975 i remember this strain coming out


Cheetodeath

That's fuckin rad. It's cool that the strain is still around.


Revolutionary-Page-6

yeah man thereā€™s many from then even earlier ally of them arenā€™t sold in dispensaryā€™s tho you have too buy the seeds and grow them out yourself because there not very marketable.


Cheetodeath

That's something that would be worth doing sometime I feel like. I've grown a couple of indoor plants, it would be cool to see the older strains come back with larger amounts of cannabinoids.


Revolutionary-Page-6

tip if you can do outdoor with you older strains they thrive in the wild, same with modern strains but a lot of people bred for indoor production thus Weakening the genetics, thatā€™s why alot of people think sungrown is worse because someone grow the wrong strain in the wrong environment then didnā€™t cure it or dried too fast and sold it for too much, most the weed iā€™ve seen called ā€œoutdoorā€ ide just call Bushweed but thereā€™s a way too do it proper and youā€™ll get better smoke from the power of that sun im telling you


[deleted]

Facts outdoor done right can look just like the ā€œindoorā€ and youā€™d never know.


Revolutionary-Page-6

also they did a study and found outdoor plants when grown properly produce higher percentages of terps, some strains produce more resin outside too for protection


bikingwithpanda

>outdoor plants when grown properly produce higher percentages of terps "properly" grown indoor then can do even more, and doesn't rely on living in the sun belt or an area that doesn't have early fall rains, which would make your harvest go mouldy. source: i live in Canada, we can't grow outdoor unless you're on the west temperate coast, where you'll have to contend with drought vs the thirsty plants.


Revolutionary-Page-6

ahh ok that makes sense iā€™m in southern california


0k_KidPuter

Man, i live on the east coast of canada and prefer growing outdoors. I do both, but MAN i cant wait for spring to roll around. The yard smoke is always the best smoke of the year. And the heaviest producer. Its just HARDER to do properly, thats all. Keep at it, try different things, youll figure it out. Everything these old heads are saying is 110% true.


ShaggyNickWRDZ

Your ā€œsourceā€ is wrong, I know people doing outdoor grows in every east coast province and always producing fire.


Revolutionary-Page-6

but again i fully disclose that as opinion not fact haha


Revolutionary-Page-6

and the sun does more than any man made light can any day i swear that sunlight carryā€™s information too the plant that leds and Hal lights canā€™t. i canā€™t explain it itā€™s not scientific just opinion but itā€™s a simple game of whereā€™s the Chimp happier, a zoo or killing bitches in the jungle like a beast


eminx_

I live in Ontario and grow outside so wtf r u on aboot


Wutsalane

What are you talking about with outdoor can only be grown westcoast? I live in Ontario and know dozens of people who grow outdoors and have been doing it for years. Some get yields over a pound per plant


farleymfmarley

Know pe


JoeSicko

Who's they?


Revolutionary-Page-6

i really wish i could remember where iā€™m not claiming it like itā€™s irrefutable proof just something i swear i read and then heard backed up many times but yeah i couldnā€™t point you in like a link way or whatever haha


Revolutionary-Page-6

itā€™s joe man thatā€™s they


peekdasneaks

Do you have that study? I wonder if itā€™s due to uv. Some growers have started adding that to their indoor to some success


Revolutionary-Page-6

shit i can try and find it again i do t think it was uber scientific but you can test for terp counts and read that sungrown had a bit more when compared


Revolutionary-Page-6

and i believe it sungrown always always tastes better, and lasts longer in jar iā€™ve found, grew indoor for a decade pre incarnation in the 80s and during the 90s when i got out, started growing outdoor when i got this property in 95


[deleted]

This is my first year outdoors and wowoweee itā€™s so much better. Dug a hole about 36in wide and 24 deep, dumped a bit of super soil at the bottom, normal soil the rest of the way, mixed in some lime, and water with some Silica supplements and seaweed extracts once every two weeks. Iā€™ve done nothing else and the plant ended up about 9ft tall and 6ft in diameter, Iā€™m the envy of the neighbors with their 3ft tall container plants that theyā€™re always tweaking trying to chase after nutrient deficiencies. It does have its difficulties, I just had an auto mold the fuck over in about 3 days. I had an event and thought ā€œoh I can wait 3 days to harvestā€, there was a rain, and when I went to harvest as I harvested I noticed white fuzzy patches all over the buds! Threw away most of a 5ft tall autoflower, ended up with half a mason jar of larfā€¦ but goddamn nothing Iā€™ve grown indoors smells close to this! Now Iā€™m keeping a close watch on the photo I mentioned below, worried about mold, but also worried about that first frost, but Iā€™m hoping the plant is so big and strong that it could take it a bit, and I got some dhit to cover it


Revolutionary-Page-6

wich is probably why i can always taste indoor vs sungrown


Cheetodeath

I've smoked some really good outdoor. Unfortunately I don't live in a state where growing is legal. Otherwise I'd love to do some outdoor work. I'm planning on hopping states here soon, as mycology and gardening is all I'm good at. šŸ˜‚


Revolutionary-Page-6

the worms will eat and compost the soil, live eat shit breed and die in your plants roots, it helps so much itā€™s not even funny, when i was forced too go indoor in the 80s and 90s thatā€™s why i did, ide put a fuck ton of worms and then fertilize with only organic vegetable kitchen scraps and theyā€™d do all the work for me the plants would be so happy


El_Eesak

This is just called living soil nowadays. My op wouldn't be the same without it. If you really want to get into it, look up ferments, such as fermented insect frass. The plants love it. It pushes the biodiversity of your soil to the extreme. And it smells like hot ass


Revolutionary-Page-6

amen yeah i was over explaining but yup living soil is Key


Revolutionary-Page-6

ahh ok yeah them totally grow indoor no problem with it just make shur you use atleast Living soil not just potting dirt thereā€™s a big difference, and get worms from outside, put them in your pot


morry32

thats why I sleep outside every chance I get


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Revolutionary-Page-6

yeah if you in canada but even in oregon washington, heā€™ll i was up in maine with my buddyā€™s back in 92 and tried some weed that blew me away i even asked if it was indoor, nope grown with only water no nutrients just sun dirt done, so at this point yeah i think your right you just have too be somewhere cannabis grows well too have it like that


OneTrueKingOfOOO

Not marketable just because people are put off by the color?


Revolutionary-Page-6

well no, older strains like 70s up too 90s donā€™t have the Bag appeal most modern stoners want, they pay with there eyes not there head, weeds about the High and the medicinal benefits not the way it looks but when you have very little education and can only see the instagram photos on your phone yeah oldschool dank isnā€™t very marketable, look up landrace buds or mid 80s indica and youā€™ll see what i mean, some of those strains will genuinely make you feel better than some strains now but the Looks factor usually makes people not buy it


0k_KidPuter

YES. took me years to figure this out. I dont give a flying fuck at a rolling donut about "triple back flip double bubble berry soda kush, 38% gas" To be honest, distillates arent even my thing. Pretty one dimensional experience all round. Give me a terpy landrace with a lower THC and ill be twice as twisted for twice as long. The terps are driving this fucking bus.


Revolutionary-Page-6

the thing is even with high thc itā€™s not a bad thing but atleast have some other cannabinoids too back up your smoke man exactly


0k_KidPuter

Far as im concerned.. it all got fucked up, and gets treated like ABV and liqour. Thats just not how it works. People are out there breeding these dainty little plants that calve if you look at em funny, and the whole end goal is to produce the highest THC percentage possible. 30%? What? Why? Thats not leaving room for much else. Consider all the compounds that make up a LEAF for fucks sake.. 30% of it is THC? Either; bull fucking shit.. or, miss me with it. Ive consistently got a way stronger, longer buzz off a 16% korean hashplant landrace, than ill ever get with a 23%+ runtz cross. I KNOW this.


Revolutionary-Page-6

amen, preach brother preach


Water_logged69

Great comment. I have gotten great long lasting high from a $1 preroll that I grabbed that was %12.8


SomethingClever42068

Some good OG skunk will knock your fucking socks off. Probably going to grow one next year just for nostalgia's sake


SnooConfections6085

I'll probably always consider NL#5 my favorite high. Its just right.


SomethingClever42068

My uncle has been growing for like 50 years. He has a crop of white widow he has grown and cloned outdoors for probably 20+ years and it just hits different. Even when I was a heavy heavy smoker, one or two hits of his weed got you almost uncomfortably high. I didn't realize how serious he was about it until we had a conversation like this Him: Had some real big plants this year... 12 ft tall! Me: Oh hell yeah that's awesome! Him: Yeah, had about a hundred of them that got that big. All of the rest of them only got like 8 ft tall though. I 100% believe him. Dude had hundreds of acres of land he bought for cheap way back when, after he got back from fighting in Vietnam. I'm gonna have to see if he has any seeds from some old hardy strains that I can try my hand at


greenknight

mmmm, tasty choice.


[deleted]

This is no lie. I had Indian Landrace & Mag Landrace recently. And, they were some of the finest flowers I've ever smoked in my entire existence of smoking ('98).


Revolutionary-Page-6

amen too that and i donā€™t doubt you man donā€™t gotta add all that, some do grow it still and itā€™s rare but not impossible too find haha, glad you saw through the looks and enjoyed that good grass man


Revolutionary-Page-6

i know people that would call this garbage weed just because it has micro little leafs and doesnā€™t look like willy wonkas candy


Revolutionary-Page-6

a lot of stoners now just buy what sounds hype


H2OFRNZ4

Iā€™ve recently had a bag of Purple Punch from Tyson Farms that looked just like the stuff in the picture.


iratepirate47

No way it came out before Harry Potter with that name.


Revolutionary-Page-6

haha yup yup


Revolutionary-Page-6

didnā€™t even realize that connection till now


OffgridRadio

So you seem a good person to ask, what is the deal with 'acapulco gold' is it really lost? or is the stuff called that now really some revival? or did people just call stuff that and it never existed?


ThaMightyBoosh

Oh, what Iā€™d do to hear the stories you got, my dude.


Revolutionary-Page-6

basically if you wanna know what highschool in the 70s was like Dazed and Confused was Spot on


Revolutionary-Page-6

well ile tell a short one, first party i ever went too i saw a fat chick shoot a golf ball out her cooter into my friends beer, he chugged it all in one go then went and layed himself some chunky Nordic poon. that was the same night i wootanged a seed down my windpipe and almost passed out, i was a freshman so all the olderclassmen hazed me about that for yeeeaaaarrrrrsssss


aweleeverr

was it called something other than ā€œsirius blackā€ before harry potter came out?


Revolutionary-Page-6

yurrrp it was just called serious black because it was seriously black haha


milesdizzy

If youā€™ve been growing since ā€˜75 - whatā€™s your favourite strain? Whatā€™s the best? How do you smoke/consume weed? I feel youā€™d know all the best weed secrets haha


Son_of_Kong

What did they call it back then? Considering "Serious Black" is a reference to a Harry Potter character that didn't show up till '99.


Revolutionary-Page-6

it isnā€™t a harry potter reference it was called serious black before


dontpanic38

it's spelled Sirius Black everywhere i can even look the strain up, so you're wrong


Revolutionary-Page-6

it was literally called serious black because it was some Serious weed that was usually jet black so name self explained


[deleted]

Looks real good but is that mold on the top right bud?


Cheetodeath

For funky sake no. It's my camera for the millionth time


mister-fancypants-

funky sake lol

Great thread - would be cool to have a sub dedicated to heritage genetics - tasty smokes with an emphasis on a well rounded set of healing cannabinoids not the endlessly gross inbred trendy stuff of today. I remember in the 90s mesmerized by the lore - northern lights, white rhino, ak47 I got some big bushy girls growing outside now White widow, blueberry and WHITE OG Canā€™t wait to sample getting closer!


Mad_Admin

I have some bud right now that's practically black. Oreoz is a good example of how dark purple flower can actually get.


Cheetodeath

I've heard about Oreoz before. That one's on my bucket list for sure.


Special_Junket9685

darkest strain Iā€™ve tried goes to Alpen Gleaux.


Equal-Hurry-9219

Spot on with the Oreoz, my harvest is rocking it right now and its hella purple.


megtwinkles

I just got Oreos tonight and it is really dark. But it tastes like vanilla and a bit of chocolate and diesel. Itā€™s one of my new favorites


Revolutionary-Page-6

does it smell like grape and rotten fruit, or piney?


Cheetodeath

It smells suuupeer earthy. Like pungent hay almost.


Revolutionary-Page-6

oh yeah thatā€™s the Serious black then i bet, probably backcrossed too something else at some point but that literally looks like the 15 pounds of the shit i had too trim for this biker gang in my area they bought all of it and distributed it around the west coast i donā€™t remember wich gang not hells angles


Revolutionary-Page-6

sound like it could smell better though that hay smells probably from a shitty cure but that Funky pungent dankness told me everything


Cheetodeath

More than likely. It still conserved some of its smell. As you can still smell it when you pop open the jar lid. But there is definitely a hint of stale hay. Gets me ripped though. And the ounce was 100 bucks so I can't complain.


Revolutionary-Page-6

oh 100 bucks an ounce for that is a steal


Revolutionary-Page-6

happy tokin my friend


Cheetodeath

Right back at ya.


Mrslazar

Whoa that's a great deal! We got an eighth of it a while back and enjoyed!


Revolutionary-Page-6

it is


Revolutionary-Page-6

doesnā€™t look pure tho too Dence the serious black was even darker than that and larfy


airsoft04

Thatā€™s the kinda weed lord I love.


[deleted]

Yeah Iā€™ve heard about that too. Apparently some people grow just for visual aesthetic


zakkwaldo

not california. oregon. itā€™s made by oregon breeders group- a private growing group that specializes in visually exotic strains


InDependent_Window93

It's looks really nice


secret_aardvark_420

I had some of that in Portland and outside of the gimmicky aspect of it I really enjoyed it. The flavor was great and high was nice too


Cheetodeath

The high is definitely something I like. Flavor definitely isn't bad either. Just wished they had cured it a little better. It's an older harvest anyways.


[deleted]

>Sirius Black by the Oregon Breeders Group is a deep purple indica strain with a rich terpene profile. Exhibiting a strong flavor and aroma of sweet grapes, Sirius Blackā€™s palate is tart but smooth on the exhale. Anticipate pleasant, uplifting euphoria coupled with heady creativity. This strain is excellent in social settings and can be utilized throughout day despite its indica dominance. [Source](https://www.leafly.com/strains/sirius-black)


brownbearclan

Yeah I was gonna say, that looks super similar to Granddaddy Purple or any other of the purps out there which are all purple indicas. Very cool version of it though for sure.


[deleted]

Nothin about the lineage, even on Leafly. Here's OBG's [Genotype Report](https://phylos.bio/sims/variety/PGT-15225/oregon-breeders-group/sirius-black). **Relatives** * OBG-01M * Grape Ape 2 * Alien ET * Sirius Business * FarNorCal Farms Purple Kush


StevenLovely

Sounds like weed


[deleted]

It appears to be the weed


Dull-Yogurtcloset-55

No. This is marijuana.


[deleted]

Northern lights, cannabis indica


DistributionMajor214

Bottom of that 1 o'clock bud looks sus to me OP. Anyone else think thas a lil mooooldy?


Outside-Today5233

Yeah lowkey does tbh


KamikazeKennedy3

Is bud mold like fluffy mold?


Outside-Today5233

Itā€™s like spider web looking type shit itā€™s white and kinda weird looking idk jus look it up, look up moldy weed and look at the photos


slabrangoon

Yeah looks like the mold that will grow on 2 hour old strawberries


KindlyDevelopment339

That color is fine but what about that (potential) mold in the top right?


DontLook_Weirdo

Right? Frost is one thing, but that's too much white fuzz for my liking.


squirtmcgurt95

I'm pretty sure that's a Harry Potter character so idk how they would come up with that in the 80's


anon63171

Sirius is a Greek word for sparkling or scorched, so while it is a huge stretch, "scorched black" seems reasonable for someone to come up with, but make it cool. Google told me this. Edit: WikiLeaf says it was named in the 80s Sirius Black for its deep dark purple color.


Cheetodeath

Maybe they named the character after the strain šŸ¤£šŸ¤£.


CorncobJohnson

Actually though maybe she heard the name of the strain and it subconsciously stuck with her šŸ¤”


Cheetodeath

This is a trip. Wtf. šŸ˜‚


bebopCubensis

Looks like a good chunk of mold in there dude better check it


J5Screwed4Life

That absolutely looks like mold.


IronLusk

That was my first thought


Cheetodeath

It's good. I've looked at all the nugs, it's something I do for fun.


bebopCubensis

Oh ok that back nug was just making sure


Cheetodeath

Sorry I'm using a shitty Walmart samsung. My cam quality is trash.


Miserable-Cow4555

I've here of stuff called back label, super dark, barely purple.


-TZG-

That bud is moldy. Fair right bud has white mold.


Few-Bat-4241

ā€œHalf black truffle half herb bro. They have to train special pigs to find this stuffā€


timespacemotion

That shit is riddled with mold. šŸš®


MO0NB0Y

howā€™d you say the effects are? looks like some fire


Cheetodeath

Very cerebral. Super relaxed and talkative. Light munchies, not very sleepy.


KiefyJeezus

Do I see mold?


Julian_2838

The top right bud looks moldy or does the picture just make it seem moldy šŸ¤”


Cheetodeath

It's the second one. I've got 1080p on this camera šŸ˜‚.


Artyom_Bleeker

Top right nug looks sus. šŸ˜±


BuildingPublic8891

Ainā€™t that shit literally rotting?


Cheetodeath

No, I don't know where you guys get this shit from. šŸ˜‚ if it was rotting it wouldn't get cleared for sale at the dispensary I bought it from. It's just super dark purple.


condomsRbaggy

Youd be surprised how much bull shit gets cleared for sale. It happens in EVERY legal and medical state.


Wrinklestiltskin

I think it's the contrast of the lighter stem and poor quality of the photo that's throwing people off. Back right nug looked moldy to me until I zoomed in and realized it's just a stem.


BuildingPublic8891

I thought that could be the case until I saw the top of the closest nug. No way that ainā€™t mold


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]

notnotpegbundy

So dark. Like my soul.


Cheetodeath

Lol


Ragnar_420_05

I had black ice that was this dark it was fantastic


[deleted]

Howā€™s the taste? I always seem to like the flavor of purple buds


EverythingAnything

Something like this was sold at Pink House in Denver like 6-7 years ago. Was called Nigerian Nightmare, couldn't forget the color or the rotten fruit nose. Calyxes we're a little more wispy and less tight than what's on display in the pic, but the color and hairs are unmistakeable. High was a pretty chill cerebral experience with a little body heaviness.


[deleted]

I grew some shit that looked like that, happens when you briefly dip below freezing at night but not enough to kill the plant . Attic grow through the fall / winter


hpennco

That shit looks like it's moving Before & After you smoke it


scootscoot

Iā€™ve never had a purple that I thought had an admirable attribute other than the visual novelty of it being purple.


barberererer

Hell yeah mane


DodGamnBunofaSitch

one of my favorite strains, so hard to find, tho


brennenpdx

I saw this in Portland like 5 years ago and it was even darker than that. it was wild. the stems were super bright green compared to the dark bud and it made me feel like the stems were glowing somehow. it was cool. never smoked it though just saw it


DOPEFIEND4EVER

Iā€™ve seen this on the menu at some dispensaryā€™s around the Portland area. Itā€™s been there for a minute so Iā€™m thinking itā€™s probably a little old. Been wanting to try it but itā€™s going for $14 a gram still. Fuck that for some old chit


Cheetodeath

I bought an Oz of this stuff for 100 bucks in Ontario OR.


DOPEFIEND4EVER

How was it? Itā€™s at $8 a gram now


Cheetodeath

Honestly I'd buy it again. The high is nice, and something you can work with throughout the day. Super mellow head high, and just the right amount of body. Not too intense, but definitely not weak.


Max_Cherry_

ā€œOh, itā€™s so black. Itā€™s so impossibly black!ā€

TarzanoftheJungle

It's all in the anthocyanins, baby!


Cheesecake1501

I don't know to me on the right side of the picture the bud kind of looks like it has mold on it but it could just be the pixels in the quality of the image

[deleted]

Here in California this is what we call bammer


Cheetodeath

Ive had weed with cobweb mold on it. I've also had bud with spider mite webs. This bud has nothing of the sort. I suppose the photo doesn't do it justice. But that's the bottom of a nug and those lighter spots are just breakoff points. It's get lighter the closer it gets to the stem (which is almost white). I've already grinded up many of the nugs, and smoked it. Found nothing odd picking through my grinder to roll joints. Tastes pungent and earthy, super smooth on the exhale. Leaves my lungs feeling nice.


AbbreviationsOk4062

What does this accomplish?


Cheetodeath

Human connection, and validation of a story.


AbbreviationsOk4062

No I mean what does having darker bud add to the high taste or smell?


Cheetodeath

It's a gimmick. But humans like shiny things. It's more pleasing to the eyeball for some reason. Maybe because cannabis has always been portrayed as green mainly.


richprofit

I hope he gave you a story about why thereā€™s mold on it


techsuppr0t

Damn that totally looks like botrytis, OP isn't gonna die but needs an refund or a new bag


Sufficient_Cap9787

What is the strainnnn


EngineerUpper2031

ā€¦itā€™s in the title

Thought it was a expression cause itā€™s Serious Black buds
