Hi everyone. This is my first grow so go easy!
I germinated 2 Black Sugar feminised seeds 2 weeks ago. They now appear healthy and are vegging. This is the strain description...
A stable multi hybrid of short squat indica's and short sativa's.
Here is a very easy, incredibly short strain famous for it's taste and effect. And the strange part is that it looks like an indica; short and squat like a NL, reaching a height of 40 - 50cm, but has lots of sativa smell and flavour. A licourice, flowery, fresh smell with a distant little earthy afghan undertone.
Basically, she grows like an indica, but has the characteristics of a sativa.
Why Black Sugar? With temperatures on the low side, flowers turn dark purple-ish/blue-ish and when dried black-ish/purple-ish covered in resin "sugar".
I haven't managed to find any previous grows of this strain so results should be interesting.
Soil: Westland Indoor Plant Potting compost. Ph 6.
Pots: 2l
Vegetation Lighting: 125W CFL bulb (6500k)
Flowering Lighting: 125W CFL bulb (6500k), 4 20W CFL bulbs (2700k)
Air Movement: 6" oscillating fan
Ventilation: None. 4" In-Line fan with Carbon filter on its way.
Nutrients: Currently None.
Proper ventilation should sort out the temperature in our grow area which now is consistently above 80. We are having a heat wave here in the UK and the room temp is currently 80 so the heat from the CFL is just making things worse. I aim to install the fan and carbon filter asap.
Also I'm aware that soon I will have to position the bulb horizontally in order to ensure that the plants take advantage of maximum light output.
