Black Hole Feminized Seeds by Elite Seeds – Dense Indica Flowers, Sweet Fruity Flavor & Potent Relaxation

Black Hole by Elite Seeds is a formidable feminized strain that pulls you into a world of dense, resinous buds and profound relaxation, designed for growers who demand both resilience and exceptional results.

Ever feel like your grow is a constant battle against pests, mold, or unpredictable weather? It's frustrating when your hard work is threatened by factors outside your control, leaving you with a disappointing harvest. That anxiety of losing months of effort to a single botrytis outbreak or a surprise cold snap can take all the joy out of cultivating. Black Hole is your solution. This genetics is specifically bred for toughness, offering remarkable resistance to common fungi and pests, while its rapid flowering cycle gets you to harvest faster, significantly reducing your exposure to late-season risks.

Before You Start Growing Black Hole

Preparation is straightforward with this forgiving strain. You'll need a well-draining, airy substrate—a quality pre-mixed soil or coco coir works perfectly. Ensure your space, whether a tent or outdoor plot, has excellent airflow to support its bushy structure. Germination is simple: use the paper towel method in a warm (22–25 °C / 71–77 °F), dark place.

• Choose a final pot of 11–20 L (2.9–5.3 gal) for indoor photoperiods to manage its medium height.
• Start with a mild, balanced fertilizer to avoid overwhelming the young seedlings.
• Plan for a vegetative period of 4–6 weeks to build a strong framework before flipping to flower.

During the Vegetative and Flowering Stages

In veg, Black Hole exhibits vigorous, bushy growth with a wide, Christmas-tree-like shape. It responds very well to low-stress training (LST) to open up the canopy and maximize light penetration to all bud sites. Topping is also an option to control height and encourage even more lateral branching. Maintain temperatures between 22–26 °C (71–79 °F) and humidity around 50–60%. Once you switch the light cycle to 12/12, expect a moderate stretch. The flowering period is a swift 7–8 weeks indoors. This is when you'll see those massive, compact flowers begin to form, exuding a sweet and fruity aroma. Keep humidity lower during this phase, around 40–50%, to further protect the dense buds. A product like Big Bud Advanced Nutrients can be introduced during the peak flowering weeks to support bud development and density.

After Harvest: Results and Care

Post-harvest, you'll be rewarded with surprisingly high yields of rock-hard, frosty nugs. The plant's natural resistance means you're less likely to face issues during the final weeks. After a proper dry (aim for 10–14 days at 16–20 °C / 60–68 °F and 50–60% RH), the buds will need a cure of 2–4 weeks in jars to fully develop their complex sweet and fruity flavor profile. The final effect is a potent, long-lasting body stone perfect for evening relaxation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Black Hole suitable for beginner growers?

Yes, its resilience and tolerance to minor errors make it a great choice for those still honing their skills, as long as they manage its bushy growth with some light training.

How does it perform in humid climates?

Its noted resistance to fungi is a major advantage in humid conditions. However, maintaining good airflow and keeping humidity in check during late flower is always recommended.

What's the best training method for this strain?

Low-Stress Training (LST) is highly effective to open up its wide canopy. Topping can also be used to control height and promote multiple main colas.

When should I stop feeding before harvest?

Initiate a flush with plain, pH-balanced water for the last 7–10 days of flowering to cleanse the substrate and improve the final taste of your buds.

Personal Experience of Pevgrow’s CEO (Alan)

I ran Black Hole in a 7.5 L (2 gal) pot under a Mars Hydro FC3000-EVO LED. What struck me first was its vigor—it bushied out quickly and required attentive defoliation to keep the lower sites from being shaded. The structure is indeed like a little fir tree, wide and dense. I flipped to 12/12 after a 4-week veg and saw a respectable stretch. The flowers started stacking early in week 3 of flower and just kept getting denser. The aroma in the tent evolved from earthy to a pronounced sweet, almost candy-like fruitiness in the final weeks. I used a top-dress regimen and supplemented with a bloom booster like Top Bud during peak flowering, which I believe contributed to the exceptional bud density. The resistance is real; I had no issues with pests or mold despite a moderately packed tent. The harvest was impressive for the pot size, yielding over 60 g (2.1 oz) of solid, frosty nugs. The smoke is smooth with that sweet flavor translating perfectly, and the effect is exactly as advertised: a heavy, relaxing body stone that's perfect for unwinding at the end of the day. My tip: don't be shy with defoliation during early flower to ensure light reaches all those potential bud sites.
