About Black Domina
Black Domina was created by Sensi Seeds by crossing four elite indicas: Northern Lights, Ortega, Hash Plant, and Afghani SA. The strain was designed as the 'ultimate indica' and delivered exactly that — a powerfully sedative, heavy-body stone with exceptional resin production and a dark green/almost black leaf appearance (hence the name). Its buds are dense, hard, and extremely resinous with a complex earthy-spicy-sweet aroma. Black Domina won the 1994 High Times Cannabis Cup for Best Indica and became a staple of the Amsterdam coffee shop scene. It was widely used in breeding to add indica weight and resin to hybrid crosses.

The strain's dark coloration and heavy resin production made it visually distinctive. Black Domina became a favorite among medical patients for its powerful sedative effects and among breeders for its resin production.
It remains one of Sensi Seeds' most celebrated creations and a benchmark for indica hybrids.
