Berry Skin and Pine Needles: Myrcene, Caryophyllene, Pinene
The dominant terpenes are myrcene, caryophyllene and pinene.
Myrcene
Myrcene sets the deep, body-relaxing base that gives the strain its classic indica heaviness.
Caryophyllene
Caryophyllene adds a peppery warmth of its own to this stack.
Pinene
Pinene contributes a fresh, pine-like edge, a brighter note against the diesel and hash.
Named for the Deep Purple-Black Flower
