Origin
Black Pearl has no documented lineage. Its breeders at the Northern California Natural Collective withheld the genetics, and the often-repeated idea that it is a four-way cross including Blue Haze is community speculation, not a breeder statement. Our records treat the parentage as unknown and disputed. Until someone with the actual cross speaks up, the pedigree stays a rumor.
2 lineage claim sets recorded. The one shown is attributed to DaHood Urban Seeds; the others are in the tabs above, each with its own source.

About
Black Pearl is a Northern California strain whose breeders never explained it.
It comes from the Northern California Natural Collective, which kept the genetics secret. The cannabis community has long guessed at a multi-way cross involving Blue Haze, but nothing is confirmed, and our records carry no verified parentage. What stands out in the little data we have is an unusual floral, nutty aroma.
What to Expect
Our effect data for Black Pearl is very limited. The one recurring descriptor is a buzzy euphoria, with dry mouth as the main associated downside and a slight anxious note for some. There is no reviewer breakdown, no onset or duration information and no clear read on strength.
The seed data hints at meaningful CBD alongside the THC, which could make it gentler than the numbers suggest, but that comes from a single source and is not something to count on. Approach a new batch cautiously and judge it yourself.
Flavor and Aroma
Black Pearl has an unusual profile for cannabis: piney and resinous up front, then a soft floral lift of lavender and violet, with a dry, nutty chestnut note underneath. It smells more like a forest floor than a candy shop. The taste follows the same pine-and-flower path.
Terpenes Explained
Black Pearl has no terpene panel on file, and only one name recurs, Eucalyptol, with nothing to quantify it. Eucalyptol is a cooling, camphor-like terpene, which fits the pine-and-herb impression, but a single unmeasured name is thin evidence.
If the floral, foresty smell is what draws you, the only reliable check is the jar itself, since no lab data here will tell you whether a given batch carries it.
Cannabinoids and Potency
Black Pearl THC is reported in the mid-to-high teens, roughly 16 to 18 percent, a moderate strength. One source also lists a substantial CBD figure, which would be unusual for this kind of strain and is not corroborated elsewhere in our data.
If the CBD claim matters to you, buy only a batch with a current lab report that shows it.
