Black Cotton

Cannabis Strain by Jordan of the Islands

Introduction
Black Cotton from Jordan of the Islands evokes both the soft tactile quality of cotton and the dark complexity of black cannabis genetics in a 70-day flowering creation from Canada's preeminent skunk genetics custodian. This extended-flowering variety from Jordan's catalog rewards patient cultivators with exceptional aromatic development.

Lineage
**Genetic Lineage** Jordan of the Islands' breeding heritage on the West Coast of Canada spans decades of selection and preservation work, with God Bud standing as his most celebrated achievement. Black Cotton suggests a cross incorporating Jordan's dark genetics repertoire—Afghani-influenced black indica varieties known for heavy resin, dark pigmentation, and potent physical effects—with cotton-soft genetics that contribute a smooth, smooth textural quality to both the aromatic and effect profiles. The 70-day flowering period exceeds Jordan's typical range, suggesting either significant sativa genetic influence or selection for exceptional aromatic complexity requiring extended development.

Terpenes
**Terpene Profile** Black Cotton's aromatic character bridges dark indica earthiness with the soft, smooth quality implied by its cotton naming. Black genetics contribute myrcene-dominant musky earthiness, beta-caryophyllene spice, and the heavy resinous character that defines dark cannabis. The cotton element suggests lighter, softer terpene notes that smooth the heavy dark profile—potentially linalool's floral softness or terpinolene's fresh, ethereal quality providing a counterpoint to the dark genetic depth.

Growth
**Growth Characteristics** Black Cotton requires approximately 70 days of flowering—Jordan of the Islands' longer-running variety in the black genetics category. This extended development time suggests either sativa-influenced genetics contributing additional flowering time or specific selection for terpene complexity that requires full maturation. Jordan's West Coast Canadian growing context produces varieties selected for indoor performance with the dense, resinous flower structure characteristic of his catalog.

Effects
**Reported Effects & Experience** Jordan of the Islands' breeding legacy emphasizes both aromatic quality and genuine effect depth. Black Cotton's extended flowering suggests a variety where development time directly correlates with experiential complexity—a characteristic of varieties where patience in cultivation translates to exceptional quality in consumption. The dark indica foundation delivers physical relaxation and body comfort; the cotton-soft character suggests a smooth, approachable experience despite the genetic potency.
