Growing Information
Mamba Negra is considered moderately easy to grow and suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. The strain has a flowering time of 8-10 weeks and is known for its stability and uniform growth patterns. Indoor yields typically range from 500-600 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 400-700 grams per plant. The plants prefer temperatures between 70-85°F (21-29°C) with moderate humidity levels of 55-60% during vegetative growth, reducing to 40% during flowering. The strain demonstrates good resistance to pests and mold but requires support due to heavy, dense buds that can cause branches to break. Mamba Negra responds well to training techniques like ScrOG and thrives in both soil and hydroponic setups with proper nutrition.
