Editorial profile
Black Garlic in detail
Origin & classification
There are clearly conflicting strain descriptions under the name Black Garlic. For this profile, the German-language description matches the structured data: it identifies Black Garlic as an indica-dominant cross of GMO Cookies, also known as Garlic Cookies, and Sour Dubb. Another English-language source, by contrast, describes a sativa-dominant cross of Black and Cherry Garlic with entirely different values. This second version must not be mixed with the present profile.
Aroma & flavour
The GMO Cookies and Sour Dubb version has an exceptionally savory aroma profile. Garlic takes center stage, with hints of onions and mushrooms. Damp earth, sharp diesel and chemical gas intensify the heavy character. The data set also records sour, spicy-herbal and cookie-like facets. The flavour is described as dense and savory, with a long-lasting, sharp and spicy finish.
Terpene profile
The profile lists Caryophyllene, Myrcene and Limonene as its terpenes. Caryophyllene is associated with the pronounced spiciness, Myrcene with the deep earthy foundation and Limonene with only subtle freshness in the background. Exact laboratory percentages or a definitive terpene ranking are unavailable. The actual composition may therefore vary between individual phenotypes and batches.
Effect tendency
According to the source description, the effects often begin with mental euphoria and a calming, balanced mood. A heavy and long-lasting physical relaxation then develops. With greater intensity, a sedating component is mentioned, potentially progressing to couch-lock. These terms reflect the documented effect profile but guarantee neither intensity nor progression for any particular person.
Cannabinoids, flowering & appearance
For the corresponding GMO Cookies version, the description typically cites 24 to 28 percent THC and less than one percent CBD; the structured data records a maximum of 28 and 1 percent, respectively. These values depend on the product, phenotype and batch. The conflicting source cites 7 to 10 percent THC, but this may only be assigned to another strain with the same name. Information on the breeder, flowering time, yield or growth of the version discussed here is unavailable. Until the data sets are technically separated, the public profile must remain clearly limited to GMO Cookies × Sour Dubb. Within this distinction, Black Garlic is well characterized by its savory garlic-and-gas aroma and the described transition from euphoria to profound physical calm.
