Black Diamond X by Maven Genetics
Black Diamond X is a Maven Genetics indica made from XXX OG × Black Diamond OG. The cross combines two OG-led parents under a name that retains the “X” as part of the cultivar identity. Maven created and cultivated the house release, placing the cultivar within a breeding program that later used Black Diamond X as a parent in several additional projects.
Maven Genetics occupies both the breeder and cultivator roles for the original release. Those roles explain why the company name belongs with Black Diamond X even when another licensed operator handles a later production run. The creator credit follows the cultivar; the production credit follows the company responsible for a particular harvest.
XXX OG and Black Diamond OG
XXX OG is one direct parent. Maven defines it as XXX × OG Kush, placing an OG Kush branch behind that side of Black Diamond X. Black Diamond OG forms the second direct parent. Fire OG provides a separate OG-family comparison without changing Maven’s specific cross.
The “X” does not stand in for an omitted or unidentified parent. It is part of the cultivar’s full name. Removing it leaves “Black Diamond,” which can refer to a different variety and obscures Maven’s release. Black Diamond X, Maven Genetics, and XXX OG × Black Diamond OG belong together as one identity.
The indica classification completes the original release details. It is separate from the deeper genealogy behind XXX OG and Black Diamond OG. A longer family tree can explain ancestry, but it should not displace the immediate parent pair or turn OG Kush into a direct parent when it sits behind XXX OG.
Black Diamond X as a breeding parent
Maven used Black Diamond X in Umami Butter, pairing it with Gelatti. That descendant carries a direct Black Diamond X branch while remaining a separate cultivar. The relationship gives Black Diamond X a clear role beyond its standalone release without merging the two names or crosses.
Chroma pairs Prizm with Black Diamond X. The repeated use of Black Diamond X across a second project shows that Maven retained the cultivar as active breeding material. Chroma’s identity begins with its own direct pair, while Black Diamond X remains one named parent within that newer combination.
Fantasma adds a third branch by pairing Runtz with Black Diamond X. Umami Butter, Chroma, and Fantasma each use a different partner, so they form distinct descendants rather than alternate expressions of the same cross. Their shared Black Diamond X parent creates a connected Maven family.
A central line in Maven’s breeding program
Maven also carried Black Diamond X into Black Lotus, RS-X, and Apples and Diamonds. Those releases extend the same pattern: Black Diamond X serves as one parent, while the second parent and descendant name identify a new breeding project. This repeated use establishes the cultivar as a working line inside Maven’s program.
Black Diamond X itself remains the original XXX OG × Black Diamond OG indica. Its descendants do not alter that direct cross, and its name should not collapse into Black Diamond without the final letter. The complete identity is Maven Genetics, Black Diamond X, XXX OG × Black Diamond OG, and indica.
Keeping those elements together separates the cultivar from the Black Diamond name, from deeper OG ancestors, and from later Maven releases that inherit only one branch. It also preserves the relationship between Maven’s original house cultivar and the breeding projects that followed, showing why Black Diamond X remains a distinct foundation line rather than a loose naming theme.
