Want to smoke Black Domina? Well, you’ll need some stamina. This deeply stoning indica-dominant cultivar lands a heavy body high after just a few hits. If you’re planning on doing anything shortly after blazing these buds, then you’ll need a cup of coffee and a couple of drops of CBD oil to get you off the couch. If you have nothing planned, then let this strain do as she pleases; prepare to melt on the spot.

As the progeny of a legendary lineup of indica superstars, this variety quickly became a go-to evening option for smokers across the world. Have we piqued your curiosity? Then get to know this lady below as we cover every last detail in our Black Domina weed strain review.


Where Did Black Domina Come From?

Strains like Black Domina don’t come about by accident. They require equal parts skill, creativity, and experience. We have the crew over at a famous Dutch seedbank to thank for the creation of this cultivar. Breeders created her back in the 1990s, and she continues to impress to this day. After selecting high-performing phenotypes from four legendary parent strains, they eventually created a stable hybrid that would soon work its way into growing rooms and gardens internationally.

Genetic Roots: What Strains Make Up Black Domina?

So, what varieties did the famous Dutch breeders choose in their quest to introduce a new indica strain to the market? Take a look at the parents used below:

  • Northern Lights: Chances are, you’ve heard this name before. In fact, you’ve probably blazed these buds countless times. Northern Lights deservedly sits upon the pathogen of classic cannabis genetics. Why? Well, her high levels of THC and excellent productivity certainly have something to do with it.
  • Afghani: This hardy landrace spent generations growing in the harsh mountainous regions of Afghanistan before strain hunters introduced her to the Western world. Her hardy nature helps to bolster modern hybrids and make them suitable to grow just about anywhere.
  • Ortega: A direct descendent of Northern Lights, this strain appeared in the mid-1980s as a result of a breeding project carried out by Mr. Nice Seeds. This variety boasts a swift flowering time and a heavy stoning effect.
  • Hash Plant: Originally bred in the Netherlands in the 1980s, Hash Plant soon made its way over to the Northwest US where it became an instant hit. High resin production and an earthy and woody terpene profile make it a prized candidate for the hash-making process.

The Popularity of Black Domina

Where does Black Domina rank in popularity among the cannabis community? With a huge assortment of productive, powerful, and fruity modern hybrids, this decades-old cultivar has a lot to contend with. However, many smokers and growers still have a deep appreciation for old-school genetics—including Black Domina. These seeds and buds are still a common sight in seed banks and dispensaries.

After quickly gaining traction in Europe and the US for several decades following her release, Black Domina earned even more prestige after achieving first place in the Valencia THC Cup in 2011. This victory cemented her as a go-to variety for experiencing stoning highs and a dank terpene profile.

What Terpenes Are in Black Domina?

Black Domina’s central effects stem from THC, but a cocktail of aromatic terpenes also contributes to her high. The buds house a complex array of these molecules, but the following three terps are by far the most dominant:

The Aroma and Flavour of Black Domina

All in all, the terpenes detailed above converge to create some seriously savoury flavours in Black Domina. Whether you inhale these flowers through a blunt, bong, joint, or vape, you’ll experience a party on your taste buds. Prepare for intense notes of earthiness, pine, hash, pepper, and spice.

Getting High: The Effects of Black Domina

Black Domina buds clock in with an average THC content of 19%. While relatively low compared to many modern strains, don’t underestimate these flowers. Shortly after inhaling, you’ll feel a heavy and relaxing physical sensation wash across your body. Keep smoking, and you’ll soon find yourself raiding the fridge and nestling into the couch. The deeply stoning effects of Black Domina are best reserved for quiet evenings in, or when out camping under the stars.

Black Domina: Morphology and Growing Traits

Remember, fellow growers, that Black Domina stems from some of the purest indica genetics around. This means she displays a compact and small structure perfect for small spaces. If you value stealth above all else, then you’ll get on well with this variety. You can grow her off the radar in small tents or converted cupboards indoors, or at your most reliable guerrilla growing location outside. Despite her small size, this lady pumps out massive yields in a short flowering time of only 7–8 weeks; prepare to harvest outdoor plants during the end of September.

RQS Strains That Descends From Black Domina

We quickly fell in love with Black Domina here at RQS. Naturally, we decided to harness these genetics to produce a unique hybrid of our own. After crossing Black Domina with the equally stoning Kalijah strain, we soon stabilised Royal Domina. This indica-dominant variety still contains all the best traits of Black Domina, alongside superior levels of THC and fruity flavours.

SECTION 5 – THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

Third-party services are required to conduct transactions and provide our services. In general, the third-party providers we use will only collect, use and disclose your information to the extent necessary to enable them to perform the services they provide to us.

However, certain third-party service providers, such as payment gateways and other payment transaction processors, have their own privacy policies regarding the information we must provide to them for your transactions.

We encourage you to read the privacy policies of these providers so that you can understand how these providers will handle your personal information.

In particular, certain suppliers may be located or have facilities located in a different jurisdiction than yours or ours. Therefore, if you choose to proceed with a transaction involving the services of a third party, your information may be subject to the laws of the jurisdiction in which that service provider or its facilities are located.

Once you leave our website or are redirected to a third-party website or application, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy or the Terms of Service of our website.

Web analytics service (anonymous data)

On this website we have integrated an element of a web analytics service (with anonymisation functionality). Web analytics can be defined as the gathering, processing and analysis of data about the behaviour of visitors to websites. An analytics service collects, among other things, data about which website a person came from (the so-called referrer), which sub-pages they visited or how often and for how long they visited a sub-page. Web analytics is mainly used for website optimisation and for a cost–benefit analysis of internet advertising.

Courier service

To complete deliveries we use a courier service. This courier service carries out the delivery between our company and the consumer's home. To complete these logistics, the company requires access to the consumer's name and address information.

Mailing service

Royal Queen Seeds uses a third-party mail service provider to send its newsletter. This provider has access to limited account information related to opt-in consent (e.g. email address).

Marketing services

Royal Queen Seeds has the support of a company that specialises in marketing and communication activities. Their access to personal information is very limited and mostly anonymous.

Payment services

At Royal Queen Seeds we use external payment services to handle our transactions (e.g. credit card payments).

SECTION 6 – SECURITY

To protect your personal information, we take reasonable precautions and follow industry standard best practices to ensure that it is not inappropriately lost, misused, accessed, disclosed, altered or destroyed.

If you provide us with your credit card information, the information is encrypted using secure socket layer technology (SSL) and stored using AES-256 encryption. Although no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, we follow all PCI-DSS requirements and implement additional industry standards that are commonly accepted. Information related to the account is protected with a hashing method. This method transforms the information into a generated hash. As a result, confidential information is protected and invisible, even to us. In addition, our databases are exceptionally protected against unauthorised access. For example, access to the database is only possible and permitted via approved IP addresses (e.g. from Royal Queen Seeds headquarters). Other attempts and addresses are rejected at all times.

Furthermore, data is anonymised as much as possible, so it cannot be directly linked to a specific consumer. With this data, however, we may be able to carry out market research and analysis. In addition, the third parties concerned (e.g. mailing service) are examined prior to our collaboration, comply with the GDPR from the EU and receive a processing agreement. Within Royal Queen Seeds, employees are assigned different access permissions. Specific permission provides access only to information that is strictly required to perform a task. Digital security measures are subject to change and must meet high requirements to ensure the safety of online customers. That is why, at Royal Queen Seeds, we appoint a security officer. Regular verification and improvement of security measures (where necessary) are part of the role.

SECTION 7 – CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time, so please check back regularly. Changes and clarifications will be effective immediately upon being published on the Website. If we make substantial changes to this policy, we will notify you here that it has been updated so you will know what information we collect, how we use it and under what circumstances, if any, we use and/or disclose it.

SECTION 8 – YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO:
