There are some amazing photos going around of a phenotype of a cross made by The Captain's Connection. Apparently, it's a phenotype of the Black Raven x Tangie cross called The Big Dirty. It was grown by ganja_grower_girl_710 and medicated_mind. It's got one of the darkest leaves I've seen.

What I'm really curious about is the parents. I can't find any details on the Black Raven strain. Does anyone know what this strain really is or who created it? The tangie aspects of the plant apparently gives TBD an "orange peel" smell and flavor. But, the almost-black leaves apparently come from the Black Raven genetics.

Are there other significantly dark (almost black, not just purple) strains that people suggest? Buckeye purple is a great example of a beautiful deep purple strain, but the leaves aren't "black".

Ahhh, this explains a lot. It looked like a very dark GSC, but I couldn't find any info on the lineage. @Siino Gardens do you have any links to strain info?
It was a matter of chance that I happened to roll through it on IG today. I tried to go back and find it but that program isn't the easiest to do that kinda shit (at least for me, I am a noob at instagram). I was seriously hoping to come back with the answer for you dude. Sorry :(.

Hey no worries, @Siino Gardens. I appreciate you tryin'! I'll hunt it down eventually :-)

prety sure it was ogkb x tangie- maybe captains cake x tangie. dude is an ass hat. youll be better off trying to get it from the growers than the breeder. he has to beg his customers for cuts back.

@Velvet Elvis, yeah I'm sure cookiemaine is a decent enough guy, but he does kind of come off challenging to work with. Ganja girl and medicated mind have stated that they aren't giving out the TBD cut to anyone, yet. I think cookie just traded bwiz or something for a cut of it just a week or two ago after a few months of debate between the two groups.

I'd rather stay out of the disagreement between them and just try and reproduce the genetics myself. I'm doing it for fun anyway, not to sell beans or even the bud. I just think it's a cool looking plant and want to use it in some of the sensor testing I'm doing. It just looks fun to grow.

I was told it is GSC x Tangie x Wifi OG (white fire og). I got a cut in my tent and it is stretchin like a mofo, def og traits
