Wizard Trees - Black Magic - 3.5g

Wizard Trees - Black Magic - 3.5g

Black Magic is the house strain behind a whole family of Wizard Trees crosses. The Los Angeles indoor brand keeps it as a clone-only cut, has not published the parents, and names it its top pick for serious smokers: strength first, and a candy-and-gas flavor it says nothing else on the market matches. It is also the parent the brand keeps crossing into new strains, which tells you more than any tagline. This jar is the original, a heavy, sweet-and-fuel indica for the end of the day from the LA grower best known for RS11.

Quick Specs

Genetics & Lineage

Wizard Trees has not published the parents. The brand's own strain page gives the lineage only as clone-only, and a 2025 review on The Highest Critic filed it as a secret cross. Clone-only means the plant circulates as cuttings from a kept mother, not as seed. Be careful with search results: several unrelated strains share the name, including Black Magic Kush and a Congolese landrace sativa that Weedmaps' strain database files as Black Magic, with Buckeye Purple listed as a parent. Wizard Trees has not tied its cut to either, and neither lineage belongs on this jar. What is on record is how the brand uses it. Black Magic is one parent of Blue Magic (New Yorker x Black Magic), Voodoo (Wizzy x Black Magic), Black Light, Potion and Orange Magic, all listed on the Wizard Trees site. The brand's seed arm credits it with making its crosses frostier and stronger.

Flavor & Aroma

Wizard Trees sums it up as "Candy & Gas redefined," and tags the strain both gassy and candy. A reviewer at The Highest Critic went into more detail: floral sweetness with citrus and candy on the nose, diesel and skunk when the buds break, then cream and flowery fuel as you draw, with sweet citrus as you breathe out. The buds are the other half of the pitch. The brand points to fat calyxes, streaks of color and a thick coat of resin. Wizard Trees does not publish a terpene panel for Black Magic, so there are no terpene numbers to give you. The tested potency for this lot is on the jar label.

Effects

The brand tags Black Magic for a head high, sedation and nighttime use, and its own copy leads with potency. The Highest Critic's reviewer described the arc in plain terms: a heavy head and low eyes first, then full-body relaxation that finished on the couch. The head high comes early and sits behind the eyes rather than racing. After that, the body takes over and evening plans tend to get cancelled. The brand's own listing warns, half joking, that the head side can get philosophical at a big dose. Dry mouth and heavy eyelids are the usual costs. If you need to stay productive, pick a different jar.

Best For

• The end of the night: the brand tags it sedating and nighttime, and it earns both
• Candy and gas fans: sweet on top, fuel underneath
• Smokers with a tolerance: potency is the headline here
• Wizard Trees collectors: the mother of the brand's Black Magic line, in its original form
• A movie at home: one bowl before the opening credits

Not for: mornings, social plans, or anyone who needs to get something done afterward.

Pairings

Food: pick up a sandwich at Molinari Delicatessen on the way home, or a pie from Tony's Pizza Napoletana, and eat before you open the jar. Music: Massive Attack's Mezzanine, low and slow. Activity: an afternoon browse at City Lights Bookstore, then home to the couch for the rest of the night. If you want the same parent in a sweeter, brighter mood, try Wizard Trees Voodoo another evening.

Cultivation

Indoor. Wizard Trees is a Los Angeles brand led by a grower named Scott, and a 2022 High Times profile traced how it grew: a 12-light setup first, then a 100-light facility, with hand-watering replaced by irrigation and Scott learning to manage VPD, temperature and humidity. He also co-developed a nutrient line, NPKaliPro, with friends. Selection happens in-house. RS11, the strain that made the brand's name, came out of a hundred-seed Rainbow Sherbet hunt with DEO Farms, and a genetics arm now sells Wizard Trees seed in the US and Europe. The brand has not published details of its current grow, so read the 2022 account as background rather than a spec sheet for this jar.

Dosing

New to flower: one or two small puffs, then wait fifteen minutes. This is not a starter strain.

Regular smoker: a small bowl or a half-gram joint is the whole evening.

Heavy tolerance: a full gram, late, with nothing else on the schedule.

Storage

Keep the jar sealed, cool and dark. The sweet top notes fade first in a warm or open jar, and dry buds burn harsh. A humidity pack keeps the cure where the grower left it.

FAQ

Is Black Magic an indica or a sativa? Indica. Wizard Trees tags it sedating and for nighttime. If you see Black Magic described as a sativa online, that description belongs to a different strain with the same name.

What are the parents? Not published. The brand lists it as clone-only, and reviewers file it as a secret cross.

What does clone-only mean? The plant is kept going as cuttings from a mother rather than grown from seed, so the genetics stay the same from jar to jar.

Is it related to Black Magic Kush? Wizard Trees has not linked the two. Several unrelated strains use the name, and the brand has not tied its cut to any of them.

What does it taste like? Candy and gas: floral sweetness and citrus up front, diesel underneath, a touch of cream.

How strong is it? Strong. Potency is the first thing the brand mentions. Start small.

Which Wizard Trees strains come from Black Magic? Blue Magic, Voodoo, Black Light, Potion and Orange Magic, per the brand's site. BlueBanger descends from it through Blue Magic.

Where is it grown? Indoors. It is flower from Wizard Trees, a Los Angeles brand.
