Letโs be real: Iโm a bit behind on LST right now ๐
The 3D printer is running, new holders are in progress โ plenty of excuses, shame on me, but luckily the plants donโt seem to mind so far.
Because aside from that: Black Mamba is absolutely crushing it.
Extremely vigorous, beautiful growth, strong side branches, and a powerful presence in the tent. Visually and energetically, this strain is a beast ๐ช
The aroma is starting to get serious: warm, spicy, slightly sweet with dark fruity notes โ properly hot ๐๐ฅ
Not quite that once-in-a-lifetime legendary pheno moment yet, but definitely operating on a very high level.
After taking these photos, Iโll go in for another round of defoliation, followed by properly dialing in the LST. The structure is begging to be shaped โ this oneโs going to hit hard.
I made some Clones. I hope they start to root it seems good atm.
What really stands out in this run:
๐ No pH adjustment at all
๐ No EC or PPM measurements
๐ Just plain tap water ๐ฐ
And still, the plants look like theyโre straight out of a grow manual. That says a lot about Doctorโs Choice genetics โ easygoing, resilient, and powerful.
The planned breeding added a bit of suspense too. I was worried there might be a male hiding somewhere.
Plot twist: the most beautiful plant in the tent turned out to be male ๐ฑ๐
Classic breeder logic โ painful for the eye, perfect for future projects ๐
Final thoughts:
Low-stress setup, zero measuring stress, full performance. Black Mamba delivers โ now itโs time to clean things up, shape the canopy, and push toward the finish ๐
