Growing Blackberry Kush Cannabis Seeds

Blackberry Kush seeds are fairly easy to grow and often perform best in a SOG environment. Keep the canopy as clear as possible to prevent fungi or pests from infecting the plants. Blackberry Kush has a decent resistance to most molds but does have a susceptibility to spider mites which can cause problems if not managed properly. On the plus side, Blackberry Kush provides an abundant yield with indoor plants producing 16oz/m2 in 8-9 weeks of indoor flowering time. For the best results growing Blackberry Kush outdoors, you’ll need somewhere warm and sunny, which could be challenging if located in the northern hemisphere. Blackberry Kush outdoor can yield 28oz/plant of delicious resin coated buds and finishes flowering in mid-October.
