Black Lebanon

Black Lebanon Cannabis Seeds by Super Sativa Seed Club

Black Lebanon is a feminised cannabis seed strain from Super Sativa Seed Club that brings authentic 1980s Lebanese hash genetics back to life. Bred from two distinct Lebanon phenotypes — #1 and #5 — after years of selecting mothers from hundreds of plants, this is old-school genetics refined for modern growers. Compact indoors, hardy outdoors, and finishing with dark purple hues that look as good as the smoke tastes.

Why Black Lebanon Seeds Deserve a Spot in Your Grow Room

Super Sativa Seed Club didn't rush this one. The breeders spent years — not months — working through hundreds of plants to lock down the right mother. The goal was specific: capture the sweet, fruity, hash-like aroma of classic Lebanese cultivars while breeding in reliable growth traits and consistent potency. The result is Black Lebanon, a strain that smells like opening a time capsule from a late-'80s Amsterdam coffeeshop.

What sets Black Lebanon apart from most heritage strains is that it actually performs in a modern setup. Indoors, plants stay compact at around 80cm — short enough for a SOG arrangement without any drama. Under decent lights, you're looking at up to 500g/m² after 60–65 days of flowering. Outdoors, plants stretch to about 150cm and finish in mid-October with proportionally larger yields. She handles heat and dry conditions well, which makes sense given the Lebanese genetics. If you're growing in a warm climate or running a tent that runs hot, Black Lebanon won't sulk the way some fussier strains do.

The honest limitation? At 16–22% THC, this isn't a face-melter. If you're chasing the highest possible THC number, you'll find stronger options. But that's not the point here. Black Lebanon is about flavour, heritage, and a smoke that's genuinely enjoyable rather than just powerful. We'd pick this over a bland 28% strain any day of the week.

Aroma, Flavour, and What to Expect from Black Lebanon

Here's where Black Lebanon really earns its keep. Crack open a cured bud and you get sweet fruit up front — not candy-sweet, more like dried apricot with a resinous, hashy undertone. There's a whisper of earth in there, but the profile leans decidedly sweet. If you've ever smelled proper Lebanese hash — the real stuff, not the soapbar that did the rounds in the '90s — you'll recognise the lineage immediately.

As flowering wraps up, the plants put on a show. The fan leaves and buds can take on deep purple hues against dark green foliage, and the resin production is genuinely impressive. Each bud gets coated in a thick layer of trichomes — glittering crystals that tell you the terpene and cannabinoid content is where it should be. At 16–22% THC, the effect is potent without being overwhelming. It's the kind of smoke you can actually enjoy at 7pm without writing off the rest of your evening.

For comparison, if you want something from the same seed bank with a bit more kick, Super Sativa Seed Club's other landrace-derived strains tend to push harder on the sativa side. Black Lebanon sits in a more balanced, mellow space — and that's exactly what the breeders were after.

How to Grow Black Lebanon Seeds

1. Germinate your Black Lebanon seeds using your preferred method — paper towel, water glass, or directly in a starter plug. Keep temperatures between 20–25°C for best germination rates.
2. Transplant seedlings into their final containers once they've developed 2–3 sets of true leaves. For SOG setups, smaller pots (5–7L) work well given the compact 80cm indoor height.
3. During vegetative growth, Black Lebanon responds well to low-stress training (LST) and topping. Her compact structure makes her a natural fit for SOG, and SCROG is also a viable option if you want to maximise canopy coverage.
4. Switch to a 12/12 light cycle to trigger flowering. Expect 60–65 days from the flip to harvest. Watch for the purple colouring to develop in the final weeks — cooler night temperatures (around 15–18°C) can encourage more dramatic colour changes, though it's not required.
5. Monitor trichome development with a jeweller's loupe. Harvest when trichomes shift from clear to mostly milky with some amber. For outdoor growers, mid-October is the target window.
6. Dry in a dark, well-ventilated space at 18–21°C and 55–60% humidity for 7–10 days, then cure in airtight jars for at least 2 weeks. The sweet, hash-like aroma intensifies significantly with a proper cure.

Black Lebanon vs Other Landrace Cannabis Seeds

Black Lebanon sits in a sweet spot for landrace enthusiasts. You get the heritage genetics and the distinctive flavour profile without the marathon flowering times of Southeast Asian sativas or the one-note earthiness of many Afghan lines. The compact growth and heat tolerance make it genuinely practical, not just a novelty.
