Dark Phoenix is a cross between the famous Californian Variety Trainwreck, for many years a reference for medicinal use for insomnia, pain and loss of appetite, and the equally famous Jack Herer, which has an almost mythical status.
Trainwreck was crossed with Jack Herer because they wanted to combine the compactness and foxtail, with the smell and amazing production of Jack....Success!
The growth of Dark Phoenix
The plant grows relatively tall, but still moderate for an indoor grow. You might consider using topping for the lower rooms. The stretching of Dark Phoenix is vigorous in the first weeks of flowering, producing some strong branches that join at the sides to create a beautiful crown effect.
The flowers are just as vigorous as the extension of the branches, forming some beautiful and large pre-flowers, early in flowering, which then combine into some long colas, really explode and then form a sativa foxtail bouquet. Their great play of colours makes them a real feast for the eyes, the colours of the leaves on some plants range from blue to deep, dark black.
The effect of Dark Phoenix
The effect is a balance between the relaxing physical effect of Trainwreck and the uplifting effect of Jack Herer, which keeps your mind clear and creative. A good daily companion to get work done.
In medicine, this Variety is often used as it provides pain relief, stimulates the appetite and helps with insomnia.
The smell and flavour of Dark Phoenix
Dark Phoenix is a must for every sativa lover. It combines the complex blend of piney, earthy and dank flavours of Jack Herer, with the pungent smell of Trainwreck to bring some lemony pungency into the sativa mix. A great combination for a real explosion of flavours in the mouth.
The most pronounced terpenes are α-pinene, D-limonene and α-humulene.
