black forrest in the south

[southernstoner]

i started a thread looking for info on vietnamese black and there seems to be intrest in it...wish i could find it in pure form...however i do have it in REVs black forrest cross...50% viet black...50% hawaiian cherry bomb(50% cherry ak-47 x 50% hawaiian sativa)
this is my first season to grow in close to 16 years...never was a serious effort at it back then...germed a few different strains for outdoors including the black forrest...the only strain the bugs left alone was this one...they had to crawl around these to get to the ones they did destroy...did have spider mites for a short while in late april and early may but it didnt bother these much at all
these 3 ladies are clones i took from the original plants from seed...organic soil...switched to 12/12 on july 1...my first indoor ever and i pick a 16 week sativa......what was i thinking...lol...SS

Looks nice. For sure Black Forrest is uncommon stuff.

using REVs soil mix
1 part ocean forrest
1 part worm castings
1 part pearlite
1 part compost

for every 5 gallons of above mix i add
2 cups cow manure-composted
3tbls blood meal
1tbls mex bat guano
3 tbls bone meal
4 tbls granular dolomite lime
5 heaping tbls peace of mind 5-5-5
4 heaping tbls greensand
5 heaping tbls kelp meal
1 tbls soft rock phosphate
1 tbls glacial rock dust
4 tbls plant success granular myco

wet it-cook it for a month before use
dont stir it while it is cooking


mostly just water it with tap water i let sit for a couple of days to let chlorine evap...i also give them some molasses water every couple of weeks

the plants outdoors are grown from seed...the plants indoors are clones from the original plants...first real effort at growing and i couldnt pick a strain that finishes early...had to have this one...SS
