Origin
Blackwater is Mendo Purps crossed with SFV OG Kush. Mendo Purps supplies the purple color and the grape; SFV OG Kush supplies the hash-fuel and much of the weight. It has one descendant on file. The Mendo Purps side is where the purple and the grape come from, and it is the half a knockoff usually loses.

About
Blackwater is a 90-percent indica that smells of grape and tastes of pine.
It crosses Mendo Purps with SFV OG Kush, pairing NorCal fruit with LA fuel. The buds purple up and smell of grape; the smoke goes lemon and pine. It is built for sleep.
The name is the scary part.
What to Expect
Blackwater is a floaty, heavy calm that ends in sleep. The reviewer sample is small, but sleepy, relaxed, happy and euphoric all sit level. Sources call it a strain for insomnia. It comes on gently and sinks.
The wider data flags an anxious streak alongside the usual dryness, which is worth respecting given how sedating the strain is. Dry mouth sits at 33 percent. Not a daytime or functional pick.
Flavor and Aroma
Blackwater smells of sweet grape with a lemon-and-pine undertone. The flavor flips it: lemon and pine lead, with the grape dropping back and a light strawberry note. The aroma and the flavor do not match.
Terpenes Explained
Blackwater's measured panel is led jointly by Myrcene, Caryophyllene and Limonene, all in the 0.5 to 0.7 percent range, with Humulene behind.
The grape smell does not appear in the panel; it sits in lighter compounds a standard test skips. A Blackwater jar with a genuine grape nose over the pine is the well-grown one.
Cannabinoids and Potency
Blackwater THC is reported around 19 percent, moderate, with the lab sample in our data corrupted. Sources describe the effect as stronger than the number. CBD is around one percent.
Blackwater is a moderate strain that plays like a heavy one, so a small dose late in the evening is the right way to use it.
