This really should be weeks 10 - 12 .... but there's no way to do that. Including the late bloomer, the harvest stretched over 2 weeks before all was said and done. The strain was a pleasure to grow ... I will certainly do it again only the next time I'll start LST much sooner and only put 4 plants in the tent.

Harvest. Oh the pain. These plants are just a solid mass of tiny buds from top to bottom. I have more seeds and I'm going to have to figure out how to spread these out more and get them to stretch a bit more. Regardless, the yield is pretty good for a plant this size. The trimmed buds are airy … not dense at all … but they're potent and tasty and the effect definitely leans toward sativa.

I'm going to have to take another shot at this strain. The powdery mildew is probably the cause of the low yield, which is a real pity since the smoke is VERY nice. I'm guessing the 8/10 will be higher if I can keep the damn PM out of the equation I'm guessing on the hybrid percentages, but the effect is definitely indica with a bit of a sativa lead in :)

The final strain report will have to wait a week or 2 until I've had a chance to dry and cure the buds. Hopefully this will be very similar to OG Kush in taste and effect. I'm guestimating the weights since I can't post without entering a weight... it's so sticky I don't want to handle it more than necessary. I'll adjust things after it dries.

This is my second Black D.O.G. grow. The first was 2 freebies in soil. This was clones from that first grow in 4 gal coco hempy buckets using the Jack''s 3-2-1 regimen. The strain is a pleasure to grow and responds well to almost any kind of training. I had 2 phenos in the original grow ... 1 finished very fast but was a light yielder, the other took an additional 2 weeks and was a better producer. Both phenos were comparable as far as their appearance and effects. HSO has come up with a terrific strain ... one that will be part of my regular rotation. The harvest actually took a couple of weeks to finish since I only took the tops initially and let the lower flowers continue to ripen. That''s why there was a delay in getting the dry weight and finishing this diary.

Since I have no basis for comparison, I'll simply say the Dinafem Blue Widow is an easy strain to grow if you do a little homework ahead of time and give it a good environment. It tells you when it needs more or less of something and responds well to corrective measures.
