Black Mamba cannabis is usually grown outdoors because it needs a semi-humid climate with a temperature between 70-80 °F. You should only grow it indoors if you can replicate these conditions.
This cannabis strain has a longer than average flowering time, requiring at least 13-14 weeks before harvesting. Spring is the best time to plant Black Mamba outside. You will be able to harvest between late September to early October.
The Black Mamba strain yields tend to be much larger than other domestic cannabis plants, with growers reporting at least 16 ounces per plant. Make sure the plants have room to grow. The plants can reach up to 6 feet when grown outdoors, but indoor plants will be considerably smaller.
If you plan to grow Black Mamba cannabis indoors, make sure to water it properly. Depending on temperature, humidity, growing medium, and other conditions, your cannabis plants could need between 2.5-6 gallons of water.
In addition, put your indoor cannabis seedlings in the correct indoor plant soil and keep them pruned so they’re a manageable size for your space.
