Growing Tips for Black Diamond

Growing Black Diamond seeds is relatively straightforward, although it does require extra care and attention through the flowering phase of growth. The strain is suitable for both indoor and outdoor growing and prefers a warm, dry climate to really thrive. Whether you grow indoors or outdoors, it is recommended to use organic soil or hydroponics, and you need to provide adequate ventilation and light for optimal growth. When cultivating this strain indoors, you will need to adjust the temperature and light as well as the air circulation to mimic its natural growing environment. Creating a warm, dry climate similar to that of a Canadian summer in British Columbia or Ontario will help ensure that your plants grow to their full potential. When growing this strain outdoors, it requires consistent temperatures and humidity to hit its peak growing capabilities. The best setting for any outdoor grow is a greenhouse, but if you don't have access to a greenhouse, you can grow this strain in a garden or on a balcony because of its short stature.

Black Diamond plants don't take up a lot of space, so you can grow multiple plants in a smaller area to increase your yields. It is also crucial to dial in the appropriate soil temperature. The ideal temperature for these plants is around 21-27 degrees Celsius. Humidity levels should be kept around 40-60% during the vegetative stage and maintained at 40% during the flowering stage of growth. Keeping the humidity levels below 60% will help keep mould and mildew off your plants.

Utilising methods like topping and/or low-stress training can optimise growth and help manage the plant's size. These methods will increase yields and help to control the canopy, creating even growth where light reaches the bottom-most buds. Black Diamond plants require an 18-20 hour light cycle to get them started and to get them through the vegetative stage. Changing the light cycle to a 12/12 cycle will induce flowering and get your plants to the harvesting stage.

Yields, Flowering Time, and Harvest

• Flowering Time: Growing indoors, you can expect the Black Diamond strain to harvest after a flowering period of 55-65 days.
• Yields: Indoor yields are around 300 grams per square metre, while outdoor grows typically produce up to 300 grams per plant. The short height of Black Diamond plants makes it easier to grow multiple plants in a smaller area. Growing multiple plants will double or triple your yield come harvest time.
• Harvest: Outdoor growers in Canada can plan on harvesting their yields around the middle to the end of October, depending on when you planted your seeds.

Black Diamond: Sweet Grape Flavour

The Black Diamond 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 pinene and myrcene 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.
• Pinene: Secondary Terpene - Pinene can be found in pine needles and conifer trees. When found in cannabis, pinene gives off a pine-like flavour and aroma.
• Myrcene: Mother of All Terpenes - This terpene provides an earthy flavour and aroma when it is found in cannabis plants.
