Appearance and Smell

Blackberry Kush is a medium-sized plant. It grows 3 to 6 feet in height. Blackberry refers to its parent strain, the deep dark purple of the leaves, and also the fruity taste. You can see the pistils below look nearly yellow-green due to the purple backdrop. Also, you can see the plant is smothered in THC-laced, powdery trichomes.

The taste is of blackberry, fruit, and spices. Users really love the taste and the effects. The smoke is smooth and not harsh at all. You won’t have a lot of coughing or throat irritation even though the effects are still powerful. This is some people’s favorite strain of all time.

How to Grow Blackberry Kush Cannabis Seeds

Growing weed from Blackberry Kush cannabis seeds is said to be easy, so this is one gourmet strain you can grow on your own. To make it come out like the industry experts though, you need to do your homework and control every facet of the growth medium and environment.

Blackberry Kush can be grown indoors which makes it easier for you to control the air, lighting, and soil though it is more expensive than growing outside.

Start your indoor grow with twenty-liter flowering pots. You can also get fancy fabric pots if you feel these may work better. They can help aerate your soil and maintain your moisture balance in the soil.

You will need to purchase or build a  grow tent. This is important because it will have a reflective lining that will save you money by reflecting light back onto your plants. It will also help you control air quality and humidity. A fan should keep your air circulating. Your plants will take CO2 from the air to help in the process of photosynthesis. An air filter can help you make sure outside air coming in does not contain pests like mites or fungi. Your humidity will vary between 40 % and 70 %.

You will need a lighting source that produces a high discharge. For this, many growers use High-Pressure Sodium Light. It produces powerful light with sodium vapor and electricity. Your reflective material, like Mylar, helps keep this light concentrated in your tent and on your leaves, saving you money as you are not losing light to the entire room or having it be absorbed into the tent fabric.

The first thing you will need to do is germinate your seeds. This is an easy and fun process. All you need is two wet paper towels and two plates. Set one wet paper towel down on your plate and then space your seeds out on it. Then cover with the other paper towel and the other plate. Your seeds will drink up the water and sprout a little root. Now you have seedlings.

Seedling stage, up to two weeks

Now you need to put your seedlings in some soil. Just poke little holes in the soil with the end of a pencil. Put your seedling in their root down, and cover with your soil. You want to use loam soil which is a mix of sand, silt, and clay. Your fertilizer will provide your nutrients. Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium (NPK) are the main nutrients, along with calcium and magnesium. During the seedling stage, you need the highest amounts of nitrogen and lesser amounts of phosphorus and potassium.

Your lighting will need to be 18 to 24 hours. Your humidity should be up to 70 %. Once you see fully formed weed leaves, you will be going on to the next stage.

Vegetative stage, from two to eight weeks

Your plants will sexually differentiate during this stage. They need 12 hours of light and 12 hours of dark. Your plants will need higher levels of potassium and nitrogen. The amount of phosphorus will be intermediate. When you see pistil hairs coming from your plants, you know these are females and it’s time to remove the males so that the females do not become pollinated and produce seeds.

Flowering, 7 to 9 weeks

Your all-female plants are now ready to flower. Your lighting will be 12 hours of dark, and 12 hours of the night. This schedule is what causes photoperiodic plants to flower. Autoflowering plants will flower at a particular time regardless of the lighting schedule. You will most likely be dealing with photoperiodic plants. Keep potassium and phosphorus the same but lower your nitrogen content.

Harvesting

Once all your pistil hairs are browned, it’s time for you to reap the benefits of your hard work. Trim your buds, hang them in bundles to dry. Growing indoors, you can get a yield of 16 ounces per square meter. Outside you can get as much as 28 ounces per plant. Good job.

Medicinal Marijuana Review

Blackberry Kush is 80 percent Indica and 20 percent Sativa. THC levels can be up to 20 %. Blackberry Kush is very tasty and relaxing. This can make it a  good candidate in conditions where lack of appetite is a problem.

The main condition where lack of appetite is a problem that is often treated with cannabis is when nausea is a side effect of treatment with chemotherapy drugs. Chemotherapy is a treatment that uses drugs that are cytotoxic, i.e. poisons to the cell. They may inhibit cells from dividing. They target either cancer cells, or sometimes the immune system when those cells have become overactive causing autoimmune disease. However, they are not perfect at targeting. This means they also hit some healthy cells, and they also obviously produce a lot of waste that the body has to get rid of. And they very often cause strong nausea. This makes it difficult for those being treated to eat and gain weight. In cancer, lack of normal weight is a very bad sign and makes the prognosis much worse.

Another such condition is anorexia. Most of the time anorexia is treated as a mental condition and treated with therapy which can sometimes be very punitive and exacerbate the problem. Every now and then, however, a physical cause is identified, such as a narrowing of parts of the digestive system that sends a signal to the sufferer not to eat or that the person is overfull because the pressure of even a small amount of food is pushing strongly on the vagus nerve, causing feelings of faintness or nausea that can present as anorexia.

Medical marijuana has a triple whammy of positive effects for these types of conditions. First, it can lift mood and therefore help cure anxiety or depression that might be co-morbid with these conditions. Next, it causes the ‘munchies’ and can greatly dispel nausea and increase appetite. This can help those with anorexia to eat even though it’s thought that they are simply refusing to eat for purely psychological reasons. Finally, it can reduce inflammation. This will stop the food they are eating from sending negative signals to the body by causing inflammation. Medical marijuana has become a boon and preferred treatment to improve appetite and dispel nausea.

Effects

Blackberry Kush is definitely a winner. Even though THC levels come only to 20 %, a lot of users are saying this is hands down the best weed they have ever smoked in their life. So this is a very high compliment. What they seem to be saying generally is that it is smoother, tastier, and more euphoric than other weed, even weed with much higher THC. How can this be? The entourage effect. Weed has terpenes, other cannabinoids, and even yet to be identified phytonutrients that combine together to produce different effects. Therefore, really the only way to know which you will like the best is to try it. And people who try Blackberry Kush seem to like it a great, great deal. So, give it a blow and happy toking! Let us know how it feels.
