Blackberry Flambe by Clone Onlys
Unknown (suggested berry-forward hybrids crossed with dessert lines)
Blackberry Flambe is an indica-dominant cultivar from Clone Only Strains, known for its dessert-like profile. It offers a complex aroma and flavor that blends dark berry notes with caramelized sugar undertones. This strain is appreciated for its aesthetic appeal and nuanced sensory experience.
Appearance
Blackberry Flambe buds are typically medium to large, forming dense, compact structures with minimal leaf protrusion. They often display deep green coloration with violet or near-black highlights, particularly under cooler nighttime temperatures. Vibrant orange pistils contrast with a heavy coating of trichomes, creating a visually striking appearance. The flowers retain their shape well when properly cured, presenting as rounded, nugget-like clusters.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Blackberry Flambe is characterized by a prominent dark fruit scent, often compared to blackberry jam or compote. This is complemented by a sweet, caramelized sugar note, evoking a flambéed dessert. Subtle hints of citrus, such as lemon or orange, and a faint peppery spice can also be detected. When ground, the bouquet intensifies, revealing deeper dessert-like qualities.
Effects
While specific effects are not detailed in the source notes, the indica classification suggests a relaxing and potentially sedative experience. The dessert-leaning profile and aroma often correlate with cultivars that provide a calming sensation, suitable for unwinding.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
Blackberry Flambe typically exhibits THC levels ranging from 15% to 25% and less than 1% CBD. The terpene profile is often dominated by Myrcene, Limonene, and Caryophyllene, with contributions from Humulene and Ocimene also noted. These terpenes contribute to the strain's characteristic berry, citrus, and peppery notes.
Growing Characteristics
As a clone-first release, Blackberry Flambe is noted for its phenotype stability when grown from authentic cuts. It generally presents a hybrid structure with moderate stretch during flowering. The buds are known for being resin-dense, making them appealing for both flower presentation and extraction. Cultivators often observe enhanced coloration, including purple hues, with controlled temperature differentials.
Origins & Lineage
Developed by Clone Only Strains, Blackberry Flambe is a boutique cultivar distributed primarily as a clone to maintain genetic integrity. While the exact parental lineage is not publicly disclosed by the breeder, its sensory profile suggests a cross involving berry-forward genetics, potentially with parents like Blackberry or Black Cherry, combined with modern dessert strains such as Cookies, Sherbet, or Gelato. The name hints at a blend of dark fruit and caramelized, spicy notes.
