Black Lavender

Cannabis Strain by Jordan of the Islands

Introduction
Black Lavender from Jordan of the Islands creates an aromatic contrast between the darkest indica genetics and one of nature's most celebrated floral aromas—pairing black cannabis heritage with the calming, purple-floral elegance of lavender in a variety from Canada's premier skunk genetics custodian.

Lineage
**Genetic Lineage** Jordan of the Islands continues his black genetics exploration with Black Lavender—a variety that applies his West Coast Canadian breeding expertise to the intersection of dark indica genetics and lavender-floral aromatic traditions. Lavender genetics in cannabis typically incorporate linalool-rich varieties known for their calming, floral aromatics that parallel the therapeutic properties of actual lavender essential oil. Jordan's black genetics provide the dark Afghani foundation and visual drama; lavender genetics contribute the purple-floral complexity and linalool-dominant calm that distinguishes this variety from other black genetics. The combination creates a distinctly calming variant within Jordan's dark series.

Terpenes
**Terpene Profile** Black Lavender's most distinctive characteristic is its linalool dominance—the terpene most responsible for lavender's characteristic floral, calming aroma is present in concentrations sufficient to genuinely evoke the lavender aromatic impression. This linalool-forward profile sits within the dark genetics framework: myrcene earthiness provides the dark, musky foundation; linalool's floral lavender quality creates the defining aromatic signature; beta-caryophyllene spice adds depth. The result is dark earthy depth with genuine lavender floral character—a sophisticated aromatic combination.

Growth
**Growth Characteristics** Black Lavender carries no specified flowering time, suggesting Jordan's typical hybrid parameters of approximately 55-65 days. Jordan of the Islands' selection methodology emphasizes genuine aromatic expression above commercial metrics. Potential purple and dark pigmentation from both the black genetics and lavender genetics (which often produce purple coloring alongside linalool expression) creates visual drama alongside aromatic distinctiveness.

Effects
**Reported Effects & Experience** Linalool, the defining terpene of lavender-themed cannabis varieties, is one of the most studied terpenes for its potential calming, anxiolytic properties. Black Lavender's high linalool content alongside dark indica genetics creates a variety specifically oriented toward calming, relaxing effects—physical body comfort paired with mental quietness. Jordan of the Islands' quality selection ensures these calming properties are delivered with genuine depth.

Documentation
**Medical Applications** The high linalool content of Black Lavender and its calming, indica-dominant effect profile may be relevant for those exploring cannabis for anxiety reduction, sleep support, and stress management.
