Growing Tips for Blackwater
Blackwater is an easy strain to grow, even if you don’t have any prior experience cultivating cannabis. The strain is low maintenance and is a great choice for first-time cultivators to cut their teeth on. Blackwater 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 produces long and dense Indica buds as long as they receive ample fresh air and direct sunlight, as well as 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 65-85 degrees Fahrenheit. Humidity levels should be kept at 50-75% during the vegetative stage and slowly decreased into the flowering stage of growth. Growing indoors will ensure that the medium to high 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 strain requires an 18-20 hour light cycle to reach the vegetative stage of growth. Changing the light cycle to a 12-hour on and 12-hour off cycle will induce flowering and help get these plants to harvest.
Yields, Flowering Time, and Harvest
- Flowering Time: Growing indoors, you can expect the Blackwater 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 500 grams per plant. Both indoor and outdoor yields are pretty impressive considering that these plants are easy to grow and have a relatively short flowering time.
- Harvest: Outdoor growers can plan on harvesting their yields around the middle of October, depending on when the seeds were planted.
Blackwater: A Sublime Sensory Experience
The Blackwater 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.

A unique strain that can be difficult to grow….but if you have some past experience working with mj plants, this won’t be too different. Vibing with the plants I have. They’re pretty tall, bushy, and they need frequent pruning. I talk to my plants (is that weird???) and I think it makes them happy lol! Great purchase 🙂

Good looking stuff. Has a great earthy flavor. Love to smoke it when I am hiking. 4/5 stars cause one of my seeds didn’t germinate 🙁

Never heard of this strain before ordering it online with Pacific. Awesome tasty bountiful marijuana plants. Really cooperative. They seem to love the soil in my backyard garden. I gave these plants plenty of water and sun and occasional fertilizer which really helps! Make sure to harvest right when those flowers are nice and tight or else you risk your plant going to seed!!!

Heavy body high that’s good for pain. Excellent taste and smell, with a bountiful yield. Give it your best shot though, and see how well you do. I got nearly 600 grams, more than I expected, so honestly it’s been a good time!

Hey whats up? I got some dank weed from this site. Blackwater is dope, hits me right where it hurts. I get baked and sometimes I even lift weights, which is pretty dope. Been working on this for a long time, got a pretty sweet growing set up, gonna keep breaking into new fields of growing mj. Love this strain, unique and smells delicious. Will definitely purchase again.

I love Pacific Seeds 🙂

When I am off the clock, I am on the couch smoking blackwater weed. This indica body high is one to be remembered. It helps me stay chilled out, keeps me from getting too stressed, AND it was easy growing! Got a VERY nice yield, nearly 600 grams. ALL of my seeds germinated! Ordering online was fast and super simple, plus the shipping times were lighting fast!
