Black leaves?

Anybody ever had a plant with black fan leaves? I found some mystery seeds and one of the plants seems a little on the sativa side. It has pink hairs on the top buds and black fan leaves. Anybody ever hear of a strain that might resemble this?

like this?

It's not abnormal for some strains to do that, so the answer is yes. There's quite a few phenos that will do this so identifying your strain will be impossible.

I have some Bluberry crosses , clones given to me, that are supposed to have really black leaves. I saw the mothers they came off of and they were the darkest leaves I have ever seen.

I’m sure it’s not.

They're purple. Either the strain, pheno or temps. Very pretty.

I've got a pheno of Platinum delight from Sin CIty seeds that gets nearly black leaves(actually crazy dark purple). It will do it year round no matter the weather or nutes. It seems to just be part of the genetics. I don't have any recent pictures but there are some back in my grow journal from a couple years ago. I'm still running the same cut.

It's in flower and almost finishing its life cycle not abnormal or special in any way at all, I've had countless strains go dark purple black as they approach harvest.
Totally normal especially in low temps.

This is caused by the degradation of Chlorophyll during flowering, leaving behind the pigments you are seeing; ie anthocyanim. While I won't discredit your strain, I think what you're seeing is, in general, normal.
