Origins and Genetics

Black Amber is a potent hybrid strain bred by Fullmoon Genetics, created by crossing GMO with OZ Kush BX2. While sometimes described as indica-leaning, it is most accurately represented as an evenly balanced hybrid (50% indica / 50% sativa). Known for its extreme potency and striking appearance, Black Amber is a modern exotic built for experienced consumers.

Flavor and Aroma

Black Amber boasts a loud, complex terpene profile. The aroma is funky and pungent, blending spicy gassy diesel, rich hash, and floral kush notes. When smoked, the flavor becomes more nuanced, delivering creamy, herbal cheese on the inhale followed by hints of gas and spicy kush on the exhale.

Potency and Effects

With THC levels commonly testing between 30–32%, Black Amber delivers fast-hitting, powerful effects. The high begins in the mind, bringing a wave of clear-headed focus, creativity, and mental stimulation that’s ideal for artistic or detail-oriented tasks. As the cerebral effects peak, a light but steady body relaxation settles in, allowing the user to unwind without heavy sedation. Due to its strength, Black Amber is often chosen to help manage chronic stress, anxiety, chronic pain, depression, headaches, and attention-related conditions.

Appearance

Black Amber is visually stunning, producing oversized, grape-shaped buds in deep olive green with rich amber-to-near-black undertones. Thick reddish-orange pistils thread throughout the flower, while a heavy coating of chunky, amber-tinted white trichomes and sticky resin gives the buds a dark, glossy, high-end finish.
