Black Rose Pollination and Story
Heath Robinson’s Black Rose is a legendary strain that has been held by enthusiasts and breeders for over a decade. Special thanks to Fyg Tree out of Santa Cruz, California for diligently making filial generations of this plant all the way to F13! We acquired seeds of the Black Rose F13 and selected a female from that lot and reversed it to make this pollination. The defining characteristic of this plant is its incredible purple expressions, that can even be seen on new leaves in veg and as early as Week 3 of flowering. Since so many popular strains that are purple originate from Gelato phenotypes, we thought it would be cool to create a new lineage from some old school gear and cross it to some new and exciting cultivars.
Black Rose Bx is (Black Rose x Newberry) x Black Rose. This cultivar is known for very short flowering times and intense purple coloration that begins very early- sometimes even during vegetative growth! It has a sweet aroma of berries with mostly dark fruit such as blackberry, currant and blueberry coming through. Some phenotypes can test very low in THC, so a big part of the project is ensuring that selections from this line test sufficiently high.
