Black D.O.G always sounded quite interesting to me, so I gave her a spot in my outdoor season this year.
Germinated quickly and is now receiving artificial light with about 45 watt, so she should be fine for the first weeks. See you then!
Second week of vegetation now, they’re growing super fast, It’s fun to watch them growing!
Started fertilising and they both display a healthy green colour👌
Growing fast and healthy, nice branching as well and a Indica-style regarding the length of her internodes.
I’ll top her in the coming week. Weather is not good enough to put her outside, so she has 2 more weeks in the tent until the ones for the next indoor grow will need the place!
She’s growing really good.
Im doing some HST to her in order to make the upper two branches grow a bit slower so at the end I’ll receive an even canopy. The smell is already amazing, really strong!
She’s a really huge plant so far😅
I’ll take away the small branches inside of her canopy and give her another two weeks of straight growth and then I’ll send her in flowering. The upcoming branches close to the tips seem to have potential to yield a lot!
Finally in flowering!
Looks like the buds will get really Indica-like and tight, Im excited for the next weeks.
She drinks a lot, and currently it’s super hot here
Welcome to my black dog diary! It’s just amazing to see how fast this strain is packing it’s buds. They will be super tight and huge😍 the smell is really kushy and sweet. Nothing negative to report so far!
@TheDoctor,
Well yeah, I got Black DOG coz it supposedly grows fairly large for a indica dominant.
Oh hell no, the thing I got was like pure indica, no stretching whatsoever, short fat plant, totally black. Pretty much instant flowering. Like the leaves just looked different to all the other Black DOG diaries I've seen, so it's bizarre.
I mean at the time, I had loads of 6ft+ plants, and it was like "wtf is wrong with this thing"
@TheDoctor,
The one I had started flowering after 3-4 weeks...in good veg conditions...
I was like "Wtf, did they send me an auto or what?"...so it's quite interesting to see the difference, there are clearly a few quite different phenotypes.
Though for some reason, I do think extra carbon can potentially speed up flowering (didn't consider at the time, was still inexperienced...but used a fair amount of char and ash), potentially because it causes more ethylene production.
@TheDoctor,
Cheers.
Of course you do like gradual increases of nutrients (things like carbon are very neutral though). You'll easily notice issues if it's a bit much, without significant damage. And I don't suggest you push it past what would be considered a bit much, but you do kinda have to actually test how much the plant can use.
You can expect that to be kind of a short plant from what I've seen, not necessarily a lot of nodes. Potassium and some hormone shit might be useful to you (depending on your goal I guess).
@TheDoctor,
That's as close to what I've grown that I've seen on Growdiaries, no jokes. I'd REALLY recommend you give the plant lots of carbon though.
If I could show you what it looked like at harvest time... (but I lost the pics).

Main thing is, yours is super healthy, looks very happy. But if you can get the nutrient/hormone balance right, you get the "hulk" sort of effects. Like, don't be *too* shy with nutrients. Push it a bit (imo).
Good luck dude, I got the super broad leaf pure black very sweet, cheesy/yeasty sort of pheno (but nutrients, conditions tend to affect that) last time I grew that (late winter/early spring). Very nice, easy to smoke, but probably only around 20% THC coz much of the weed I smoked at the time was quite a bit stronger, though the heads looked super.
I lost a whole bunch of pics of it, but this what mine looked like in about early-mid flower, a bit later it was ENTIRELY black (other than much of the flowers, I mean), it bulked INSANELY but was quite short coz of the season and medium I guess:

@TheDoctor,
I think it's a bit of both tbh coz it wasn't that cold at flower, maybe around 22-28c typically (from vague recollection).
I pollinated (some of) it with some random staunch looking male and they've been purple/black so far (though I haven't grown them entirely in spring through summer yet).
I reckon as they reach end of flower or senescence they tend to darken a lot (at least, the pheno I got), other than temps/season/nutrients. Genetically, they are possibly from cooler areas as they do fairly well and have a tendency to want more heat/light (which is why they darken) from their environmental adaptation, lineage.
Hope you get the purple pheno that smells like cinnamon! The ONE plant out of three I didn't clone...or top...or train...or transplant as quickly ended being the best pheno. Absolute smoke show. Fingers crossed for ya
