Growing Tips for Black Betty
Black Betty plants are considered tricky to grow, even if you have prior experience growing and cultivating your own cannabis plants. The strain grows well indoors and outdoors, but is easier to grow indoors because you can give it the correct climate without worrying about the changes in heat and humidity that you would run into outdoors. Indoor grows require nutrient-rich soil and high-quality lighting to produce the desired buds the plant is known for. If you are growing your plants outdoors, your best bet for a hefty yield is to grow the plants in a greenhouse. If you don’t have access to a greenhouse, then you will need to carve out a good weather window to ensure the temperatures don’t dip below what the plants require to grow big and strong. These plants tend to grow medium to tall. Both indoor and outdoor grows require that you mimic the natural growing climate of the Black Betty strain. A Mediterranean-like climate is best suited for growing these plants. The ideal temperature for these plants is around 70-85 degrees Fahrenheit. This strain prefers higher humidity to reach its peak growth. Humidity levels should be kept around 50-60% during the vegetative stage and maintained at 40-50% during the flowering stage of growth. Keeping the humidity levels below 60% will help keep mold and mildew off your plants. Utilizing methods like Low-stress training (LST) and topping will help your plants grow to fruition. These methods will optimize plant growth by trimming the branches that aren’t producing quality buds. These training techniques will increase the overall yields of this plant during harvest time. Black Betty plants require an 18-20 hour light cycle to reach the vegetative stage of growth. You will need to change the light cycle to a 12/12 cycle to induce the flowering stage of growth. This light cycle will ultimately get you to the harvest phase of this strain.
Yields, Flowering Time, and Harvest
- Flowering Time: Growing indoors, you can expect the Black Betty strain to harvest after a short flowering period of 55-65 days.
- Yields: While Indoor yields are around 350 grams per square meter, outdoor grows typically produce up to 450 grams per plant. The yields for the Black Betty plants are pretty good, considering they take less time to flower than other cannabis varieties.
- Harvest: Outdoor growers can plan on harvesting their yields around the middle of October, depending on when the seeds were planted.
Black Betty: Skunky Sweet Citrus
The Black Betty 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 myrcene and limonene are the secondary terpenes.
- Caryophyllene: Most Dominant – One of the most common terpenes in the cannabis world, it is known for being spicy and peppery on the tongue.
- Myrcene: Secondary Terpene – A monoterpene that is known in the cannabis world as the “Mother of All Terpenes”.
- Limonene: Citrus Flavor – Most commonly found in the rinds of citrus fruits, the limonene terpene helps to combat anxiety and will improve lung function when found in cannabis plants.

Oh my goodness, let me tell you about my incredible journey with these amazing cannabis seeds! From germination to harvest, every step was thrilling! Watching my plants grow was like witnessing a miracle unfold. The leaves danced in the sunlight and thrived beautifully. Once harvest time rolled around, I was filled with excitement! When I lit up my first bud, I was taken aback by the rich flavors and calming effects. It was better than I ever imagined! This experience has transformed my perspective on cannabis, and I cannot wait to grow again—purely euphoric!

I had been searching for a well-rounded hybrid because I love both sativa and indica effects and hate to pick between the two. Once I called customer service, they led me to Black Betty, so I happily ordered. I just got them and can’t wait to plant them and get started.
Brandy Farmer (verified owner) –
A favorite of mine. Glad I was able t work with these seeds. I bought them online, got them shipped to my location. They germinated beautifully. I was honestly impressed by the whole thing. Pacific is extremely reliable and with great customer service. They talk to me on the phone and give me actual advice, so nice to talk to an actual person!!

The high potency of this strain may not be suitable for novice smokers. Whether you enjoy the sativa side for a euphoric and alert experience or the indica side for muscle relaxation, Black Betty has got you covered.

Hey all! I just finished my EPIC harvest week here in the Northwest….got some pretty exciting nug out of this plant….totally gunked up my tools though haha! Great experience working with PSB, their seeds are GREAT and they ship so quickly I hardly have to think about it. Gonna be a real humdinger of a summer…growing 10 plants this coming season….what am I gonna do with all this weed besides smoke A LOT of it. Think I might get into baking or tinctures….either way, LOTS to love here.

Love everything about it. Seeds germinated quick and came on strong. Nice aroma and perfect day or night. This will be the 3rd year I’ve grown the plant. It’s very balanced…energy and calm at the same time and it last long with out the memory loss. In fact, it helps me focus. My all time favorite.
JointJuggernaut (verified owner) –
First time buying seeds online, was surprised by how fast my order came. Only took 4 days from when I placed my order. These seeds came in a very nice crush-proof container and I ended up having them all sprout. Happy with the quality seeds I got.
Shannon Chapman (verified owner) –
great choice for anyone looking for an impressive yield and strong high. Not the easiest to grow, new comers may want to skip trying to grow this one. This strain might surprise you with its strength – but it definitely won’t disappoint! And with a sweet flavour and aromas, this seed is sure to be a hit!

Breaking harvest records left and right. Black betty is AWESOME weed, and it’s so delicious, too. Tastes like blackberry and hits real smooth. I never break into a coughing fit, I am always chill as a cucumber, smoking my homegrown MJ and chilling with the cat. She doesn’t mind the weed it seems. Whenever I smoke she comes over and chills on my lap lol. Nice buzz and a good price too!
Kelly Morgan (verified owner) –
A potent high, this Sativa forward strain was very nice with a destressing head high and great taste. I have managed to grow some primo buds from these seeds, solid yield size and perfect germination.
Ross Huynh (verified owner) –
Black Betty from Mendocino Farms is a great hybrid strain that left me feeling euphoric and happy, with a talkative mood. The citrus, skunky, and sweet taste was enjoyable. It took a bit of skill to grow, but the yield was impressive.
Rodolfo Baxter (verified owner) –
Tight, frosty nugs and a perfect 50/50 hybrid split! Definitely worth the investment and time it takes to grow. I’ll be buying online for the rest of eternity. I never want to leave the house again…..never.
Yannis K (verified owner) –
Been growing black betty for a while. Really enjoying it. Very fresh appearance, smells great too. Has helped me with depression, fatigue, appetite….all the things that weed does best! I smoke mostly for rec purposes but I do believe mj has a medicinal quality to it. Great investment, has really been a game changer.
Teigan Dale (verified owner) –
Smooooth indica with a lot of flavor. Yum! Growing my own weed was a step in the right direction. It has saved me an incredible amount of money and has helped me with my anxiety levels. I enjoy burning morning noon and night, and nothing makes me happier than seeing these little seeds burst into beautiful productive plants. I am just a stoner grandma who likes growing weed in my retirement. That’s why I shop with Pacific seed Bank!!
Evan Gaines (verified owner) –
A very mysteruous and intriguing strain. It helps with stress and depression, gives me a great mood boost, and offers up a sweet and sour taste that can’t be beat! It’s got tight black and green nugs that crumble and are sticky as all heck. Awesome buy with some special pricing!
Liyana Parkes (verified owner) –
Excellent for smoking at almost any time of day. Black betty is a subtle high with a mellow buzz and some beautiful bright green foliage. Green is my favorite color, and watching these neon green buds pop out of my plant, like a little tree, gave me hope in the world. I am VERY pleased to see this turning out the way that it is!
Yehuda Greene (verified owner) –
Mmm Black betty mj seeds are a real dream. They grow so fast I had to top them after 5 months to ensure they still fit in my basement growing space. The whole house smells fruity and skunky, and the weed itself is just about ready to harvest. Awesome buy!!!
Clement Tucker (verified owner) –
I like the dark cherry flavor of this weed, I wish it was made into a soda, because it is absolutely delicious!! Burns nicely, and gives me a great head rush, better than caffeine. A longer than normal grow, took almost 7 long months to see weed forming, luckily it was high quality stuff, helps with stress, and makes for a good relaxation station.
Odin Meyer (verified owner) –
I am a huge rockabilly fan and grew up dancing to this song. Pretty stoked about this stuff, it basically grows on its own, and usually produces anywhere from 500-1000 grams across 5 plants! That’s more than enough to keep you stoned for all of winter, which is what I really wanted 🙂
Keith Bravo (verified owner) –
You can’t beat a well-balanced classic like Black Betty. This weed is top quality, with bright green and purple flower, and only 6 months of growing. It may take a full season, but you’ll be harvesting a years’ worth of marijuana with 3 plants. Absolute stunner!
Enzo Rosario (verified owner) –
When does black betty work for you? Any time of day for me! I actually love smoking in the morning. Wakes me right up and keeps me feeling way younger than I actually am. Just a few bong rips and I am feeling light as a feather and ready to work! This is gonna be a great addition to your garden and the smell is soooo powerful and awesome!!
Tyrone Peterson (verified owner) –
A perfect hybrid that’s well worth the effort. I liked growing this weed in the desert climate of Southern Cali. The sweet tastes and earthy smells are better when grown in a HOT dry climate like SoCal. Just make sure to give it a lot of love and definitely water and prune often. A bit fickle, but you’ll be smiling once you hit the bong 😉
Marni Deacon (verified owner) –
Yesss, this weed is truly fantastic. It’s reeeeealy relaxing, gives me a nice head buzz and kinda makes me sleepy but in a good way. Top notch genetics on these pot seeds. Feminized seeds are really beautiful and I appreciate them for all they are worth. Nice and happy times, gets me pretty baked but I gotta say I am really happy to be growing my own stuff now.
Huda Whittaker (verified owner) –
Black betty is a good buy for the price and it is an all around very satisfying hybrid…makes me pretty relaxed and its a good time when you just lie down and let the colors swirl all in and out of your head. Definitely gonna buy this weed again cause it was easy to grow and Pacific has some awesome growing tips!!
Wyatt Truong (verified owner) –
Gonna get some black betty seeds and grow them right out front to brag to all the neighbors that I have the best garden bed in town. In Portland it’s definitely a competition, but I grow the best weed, hands down, and get very baked every time I smoke, and chill, and watch the world go by! Love online ordering and fast delivery, always reliable with Pacific!
Reilly Corbett (verified owner) –
Black betty is well worth the effort to grow, especially indoors if you have the space. Gosh I totally love this strain, gets me high as a kite and makes for an awesome buy no matter who you are! I am very pleased with the way this stuff grew in the backyard, very exciting, nice smelling and pretty remarkable stuff!!
Muhammad Howells (verified owner) –
Black betty is definitely as good as it sounds, it makes life look and feel pretty great, and I can’t deny how much I just Looooove growing this weed in my backyard. I smoke it and smoke it till there’s nothing left and I am just itching to buy more. Love Pacific, they have the best seeds in the world!!!

This was so much fun to grow, made for an awesome summer project, especially during quaratine. Ordered it online and it shipped right to my door. Had a great spell of weather around Mid July and these plants took very well to all the warmth and sunlight. Pretty excited about buying weed from Pacific again!

Get yourself on board with this amazing weed, it’s got all the best qualities of an indica with all the most subtle and enjoyable sativa after-effects. I smoked this almost every day this year…I just keep ordering new seeds off this website, and they just show up right at my door, and I gotta say I have never been disappointed once!
Hard Rock (verified owner) –
Black betty is one my favorite rock n roll songs and now one of my favorite mj strains! Great smell and taste and an absolute gem in the garden. I bought my seeds online after being recommended this site by a friend. Got a great yield and almost consistently fresh top quality weed! Ordering online was a snap and the seeds delivered on time!!
Polo (verified owner) –
Definitely one of the more exciting strains totally looks and smells delicious and it’s a little harder to grow that other strains, but not impossible, so if you’re a total weed enthusiast, then you should at least give it a try. I mean the growing info on the website really helps, and if you’ve ever grown tomatoes, then you’ll totally be fine with this stuff too.
RAINBOWCOUNTRY (verified owner) –
Black betty is a truly special strain that helps me stay focused and stress-free. I like it for its high indica content which makes my mind into jello and my body into a stone….I found growing it to be really easy and help with my anxiety…working in the garden is an excellent choice is you’re looking for a good outdoor hobby. Definitely give this a try it’s amazing!
Larry Olson (verified owner) –
Black Betty is one of those strains that is able to make any bad day better. No matter how hard everything has gotten (which is has with coronavirus) you will love returning home to your beautiful plants and eventually your delicious stash of weed! It’s a very earthy tasting weed, helps a lot with stress and depression. It’s definitely indica heavy, and is therefore very relaxing. I am pretty happy with my strain and will be back for more!
kristencagatay (verified owner) –
Black betty is a real winner, an absolute gem if you have stress and depression and anxiety. I love its fat sticky nugs and it the amazing little crystals that gather on the buds like snow. I grew this indoors and got a GREAT yield, these seeds really know how to produce, probabky cause of their feminized genetics making it easier for them to flower. All very fresh bud, perfect for those days when you wanna just chill at home or at a park, great as a blunt or in a bong!
Coffee Mugg (verified owner) –
This strain is kind of a mystery to me. It blows my mind how it can pack in so much flavor in just one strain. It’s earthy, fruity, citrusy, tastes like pine…you name it! I am really happy with how it turned out. This was my first attempt at growing mj, and I feel like I did pretty well for myself. I got a nice 400 g yield from 2 plants (I saved 1 seed) and then it helps a lot with my stress levels when I smoke it. It’s a nice hybrid that helps with depression too. It’s a much needed mind vacation!
Diesel (verified owner) –
WOW a very powerful strain with nearly 25% THC, that’s some serious business! I have been growing and smoking weed for years, but this has to be one of my favorite. I really love the 50/50 hybrid combo, does me well in both the mind and body, and it helps me relax after a long day. I can’t really be productive on this weed, you get too high, but it is nice for being creative and just relaxing.
isabel archer (verified owner) –
This is some delicious stuff. I really dig how easy it was to grow and the yield was simply amazing. The smell is somewhere between pine trees and sour candy, and the buzz is super…well buzzy! It makes my head go a mile a minute, while my body is just chilling hardcore watching stand up comedy. Excellent weed all around!
Tamie Maravilla (verified owner) –
A really well balanced hybrid, this weed is perfect smoking at almost anytime of day. Black Betty is a cool name, so that’s why I went with this strain, but WOW PSB has an amazing online selection, remarkably helpful customer service, and FAST delivery times! Got all 3 of my seeds to germ with the paper towel method and grew them indoors, they really took off! This is great in the afternoons to avoid the 3pm crash!
Eric B (verified owner) –
Gosh I really love this stuff, such an amazing weed with so few problems. I loved growing it all myself in the backyard, had no idea it was so easy to do! PSB was great, they shipped my seeds out in no time, and their online selection is astounding. This weed has been great for my neck and back pain, it even helps my mood. I love the powerful citrusy taste too!

I get intimidated by marijuana strains that are not labeled as an “easy grow” but I’m glad I took a chance on black betty. This strain is euphoric like nothing else and I love how it doesn’t mess around! You will know you are high and you will feel it pretty quickly. I use this when Im in a funk and I’m feeling better and more hopeful pretty much right away. And about the grow … it wasn’t that hard. The internets will help you figure out how to grow it if you run into trouble.
Rita N. (verified owner) –
I need a weed that really gets me high but doesn’t wear me down. Black betty is my go to for this purpose but man dispensaries can really rack up a bill. Super happy I discovered Pacific, they have such an amazing selection and at such great prices! I ordered online and got my seeds super fast. Grew in my side yard and these plants took of like rockets, walked away with a good haul of nug and smoking that bong in the afternoon is perfect for a balanced buzz that keeps me on my feet. Love this stuff!
Jeanette V. (verified owner) –
Black Betty is definitely becoming one of my top favorite strains of mj. Somehow it relaxes your body while stimulating your mind? How do they make weed do that? I’m so happy weed is legal in my state and that I can order the kind of seeds that work best for me. I also really appreciate getting a full batch of viable seeds, which has only happened when I’ve ordered from Pacific. Good buy!
Jenny A. (verified owner) –
I enjoy a nice balanced strain, nothing too heavy on either side. Weed does sometimes give me anxiety, but not this strain evidently. I find it’s effects to be uplifting and euphoric, I feel hopeful and relaxed and ready to just chill out. I smoke usually on weekends, so this weed is a great pick me up to add to your Sunday routine 🙂 Ordered online with PSB and had the seeds shipped right to my door, and wouldn’t you know it, in just a few months time I had my very own homegrown MJ! Doesn’t get any better than that!
Kyla F. (verified owner) –
Seriously, this strain has two sides to it. It makes you relax while making your mind go go go. I’m not sure what I think about it. I’m more partial to energetic sativas, but I kind of like the mellow body high while my mind stays active. I’m not one to enjoy couch lock by any means, but Black Betty has a habit of lulling me into it. Am I making sense? While smoking Black Betty, I’m not entirely sure.
Tony M. (verified owner) –
Do you ever feel like pot these days has gotten too into itself with all the hoity toity flavors and flavor profiles and affects that promise everything from granting you access to another plane of being to healing your arthritis? Black betty cannabis brings it back to the basics. She gets you stoned in a big way. High as a kite stoned. And sometimes that’s just what you need, right? Also, love that betty sticks around for nearly three hours or so, so it’s a long-lasting, substantial high. Best classic mj for my money.

Woah Black Betty whambalam I’m high as hell whambalam! Good balance of indica and sativa for the best of all worlds it totally adapts to whatever the situation calls for. Really good weed at 25% thc + cbd too. I grew it indoors and it was pretty easy. I didn’t know where to order these seeds online bc it’s kind of a rare strain I guess but I’m happy I found them here!
Abel S. (verified owner) –
A nicely balanced buzz that’ll keep you feeling great at any time of day! I am really happy I gave this weed a grow and I feel like I am now an experienced grower! This weed does really well outdoors, needs lots of sun and water but you’ll be happy if you get it right, got like 350 grams! Tastes kind of sweet and earthy. A great buy!
