Growing Tips for Blackwater Auto

Blackwater Auto is an easy strain to grow, even if you don’t have any prior experience growing your own cannabis plants. The strain is very low maintenance and is a great selection for first-time cultivators who are looking to gain much-needed experience in horticulture. Blackwater Auto marijuana plants will thrive both indoors and outdoors, but have an easier time growing indoors because of the grower’s ability to control the climate. If you are going to grow indoors, you will have to replicate a warm, sunny environment similar to the climate of the Mediterranean region.

Blackwater Auto produces dense Indica buds as long as they receive ample fresh air and direct sunlight, and high-quality, nutrient-rich soil. If you are going to grow outdoors, you will need to maintain a consistent temperature and humidity to get these plants to harvest. Having access to a greenhouse is the best way to give these plants the perfect outdoor climate they require without having to put up with unexpected outdoor variables.

Because these plants can grow to be upwards of 8 feet tall, they require a ton of vertical space to grow without limitations. The ideal temperature for these plants is around 60-70 degrees Fahrenheit. Humidity levels should be kept at 45-62% during the vegetative stage and slowly decreased into the flowering stage of growth. Growing indoors will ensure that the medium humidity levels are reached every day that the plants are in the growing stages.

Topping, Low-stress training (LST), and the Screen of Green (ScrOG) methods are the best training techniques for the specific strain of cannabis. Each of these methods helps control the plant’s height while also reinforcing the heaviest buds so that they don’t break or bend the branches. These methods will ultimately increase your yields come harvest time. The Blackwater Auto strain requires an 18-20 hour light cycle to reach the vegetative stage of growth, but does not require a change in the light cycle to induce the flowering stage. Because this strain is autoflowering, it will reach the flowering stage on its own, adding to the ease of this grow.

Yields, Flowering Time, and Harvest

• Flowering Time: Growing indoors, you can expect the Blackwater Auto strain to harvest after a flowering period of 55-65 days.
• Yields: While Indoor yields are around 450 grams per square meter, outdoor grows typically produce up to 550 grams per plant. The yields of this strain are fantastic and a welcome reward for a job well done. This strain is perfect for first-time growers looking for an easier strain to grow.
• Harvest: Outdoor growers can plan on harvesting their yields around the middle of October, depending on when the seeds were planted.

Blackwater Auto: Fruity and Complex

The Blackwater Auto terpene profile is directly responsible for how the plant smells and tastes, and the strong effects it has on its users. The most dominant terpene in this strain is caryophyllene, while limonene, delta-3 carene, and myrcene are the secondary terpenes.

• Caryophyllene: Most Dominant – Known as a spicy and peppery terpene, caryophyllene is most commonly found in cinnamon, cloves, black pepper, and cannabis plants.
• Myrcene: Secondary Terpene – The “Mother of all Terpenes”, myrcene gives cannabis its earthy flavor and aroma. Myrcene can be found in several cannabis strains.
• Limonene: Fresh Citrus – Found mostly in the rinds of citrus fruits, limonene is known for helping to decrease anxiety and can improve lung function when found in cannabis.
• Delta-3 Carene: Sweet and Earthy – Also found in pine, cedar, basil, and rosemary, this terpene is known for being sweet, earthy, citrusy, and pine-like in aroma and flavor.
