Growing Tips for Blackberry Kush Auto
Blackberry Kush Auto is a great strain for beginner growers who are eager to learn to grow at home. While Blackberry Kush Auto marijuana plants can thrive indoors and outdoors, most professional cultivators will attest to the fact that the easiest place to cultivate this Indica-dominant strain is indoors. Even though Blackberry Kush Auto cannabis plants are resistant to mold and mildew, they are susceptible to fungus, spider mites, and botrytis, hence the preference for indoor growing. However, if you keep a careful eye on these things, you can grow this strain outside with minimal issues. If you are going to grow indoors, you will need to replicate a warm, sunny environment to make this strain thrive. Blackberry Kush Auto performs best with ample sunlight and fresh air, as well as nutrient-rich soil. Because these plants grow medium to tall, they require a little bit more space vertically and laterally. The ideal temperature for these plants is around 68-80 degrees Fahrenheit. Humidity levels should be kept at 60% during its vegetative stage and slowly decreased every week so that once these marijuana plants are in their flowering phase, the humidity level is at 40%. Low-stress training (LST) and the Screen of Green (ScrOG) methods are the ideal training techniques to use when training your Blackberry Kush Auto plants. These methods will help to adjust the canopy of your plants, allowing light and air to reach the lower levels, creating an even grow. For the branches with bigger buds, the ScrOG method helps to reinforce those branches so that the weight of the buds doesn’t break them. These training techniques will increase the overall yields of this strain during harvest time. Blackberry Kush Auto plants require an 18-20 hour light cycle to reach the vegetative stage of growth. Because this strain is an autoflowering variety, it does not require a change in the light cycle to induce the flowering stage of growth. The strain will move into the flowering stage on its own.
