Conduct regular inspections and maintain growing conditions at optimum levels. Other management procedures for the strain include:
- Monitor and add micronutrients and magnesium alongside nitrogen to increase its production capacity.
- Prune unhealthy and dead branches/leaves regularly to increase light penetration.
- Keep the humidity levels below 60% during the vegetative stage and 40% during flowering.
- Keep the temperature between 20 and 27 degrees.
Indoor-grown Blackberry Kush takes 8 to 10 weeks and yields about 450 grams/m2. On the other hand, outdoor-grown Blackberry Kush completes flowering in mid-October, yielding around 800 grams/plant.
