Blackwater Fem
Also known as: Blackwater, Black Water
What is the Blackwater Fem strain?
Blackwater Fem is a indica cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and diesel flavor profile.
Blackwater Fem is a predominantly indica cannabis strain developed by Cali Connection, a prominent American breeder. The strain was created by crossing two legendary California indica varieties: Mendocino Purps and San Fernando Valley OG Kush. This genetic combination results in a potent, resinous plant that has gained popularity among both recreational users and medical cannabis patients for its strong sedative effects and distinctive flavor profile.
The strain is characterized by its striking visual appearance, featuring dense, tightly-packed buds that often display deep purple to almost black coloration, particularly when exposed to cooler temperatures during the flowering phase. The dark pigmentation is complemented by vibrant orange pistils and a thick coating of frosty trichomes, giving the buds a glistening, crystalline appearance. The name 'Blackwater' references both the dark coloration of the buds and the strain's potent, heavy-hitting effects.
Blackwater Fem is known for its complex aroma and flavor profile that combines sweet, fruity notes with earthy, diesel undertones. The strain typically flowers in 8-9 weeks when grown indoors and produces moderate to high yields. While primarily an indica, some phenotypes may express slight sativa characteristics, though the overall effect profile remains predominantly sedative and relaxing.

How do you grow Blackwater Fem?
Blackwater Fem is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it better suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by late September to early October when grown outdoors. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain prefers a warm, Mediterranean-like climate with low humidity, particularly during the flowering phase to prevent mold issues. Blackwater Fem can be grown both indoors and outdoors, though indoor cultivation allows better control over temperature to enhance the purple coloration. Plants tend to stay relatively compact, reaching heights of 90-120 cm indoors and 150-180 cm outdoors.
Special considerations include maintaining stable temperatures (especially cooler nighttime temperatures during late flowering to encourage purple pigmentation), ensuring good air circulation to prevent mold in dense buds, and providing adequate support for heavy colas. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yields.
