Black Triangle CBD
Triangle Kush × 1988 G13 Hashplant
Black Triangle CBD is a CBD-forward adaptation of the original Black Triangle, designed for a more functional experience while retaining the lineage's signature dense resin, kush aroma, and dark appearance. This cultivar offers therapeutic potential with reduced intoxication, appealing to both wellness and flavor enthusiasts.
Appearance
This strain typically exhibits dark, almost black sugar leaves contrasting with jade to forest green calyxes, sometimes displaying inky purples or near-black hues along the bract tips under cooler temperatures. The buds are dense, often spear-shaped or clustered like golf balls, covered in thick trichome blankets that provide a frosted appearance against the dark foliage. Pistils range from copper to flame-orange, adding visual contrast.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma is dominated by a kush foundation, featuring notes of damp forest floor, dark soil, and old-world hash, complemented by hints of black pepper and clove. Secondary notes include pine resin, citrus rind, and a subtle diesel edge. Upon grinding, brighter lemon-lime notes emerge, settling into warm, resinous spice. The flavor mirrors the aroma, with a hashy spice and earthy cocoa core, brightened by pine and citrus peel with a faint diesel finish on exhale.
Effects
Black Triangle CBD is noted for promoting a sense of calm and focus. It provides a more functional experience with less intoxication compared to its THC-dominant counterpart, making it suitable for daytime use or for those seeking clarity without heavy sedation.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
While specific lab data was not provided, compiled breeder notes and grower reports suggest CBD-dominant phenotypes can test between 8-16% CBD with THC at or below 1-3%. Balanced versions may present closer to 5-10% for both cannabinoids. Terpene profiles are often robust, with Myrcene, Limonene, Caryophyllene, Linalool, Pinene, Humulene, and Ocimene commonly identified, contributing to the strain's complex sensory profile.
Origins & Lineage
Black Triangle CBD is a modification of the original Black Triangle, a hybrid cross created by Bodhi Seeds. The original blended Triangle Kush with 1988 G13 Hashplant. The CBD adaptation involves crossing this lineage with a high-CBD donor, resulting in phenotypes that can range from CBD-dominant to balanced THC:CBD ratios.
Growing
This cultivar is known for its dense bud structure and thick trichome coverage, requiring growers to manage humidity and airflow carefully to prevent mold. The plant morphology tends to feature broadleaf-dominant leaflets and compact internodes. Maintaining specific cannabinoid ratios, especially for hemp compliance, requires careful selection and potentially clonal propagation.
