To start, I want to clarify that I am starting this several weeks after germination after deciding to add my first set of automatics to a diary.
Germinated on 3/3/19 sprouted on 3/5/19 and the first photo was approx. 24-48 hours after it first saw light.
They started out strong in peat moss pellets, curious me popped them open after 48 hours and was surprised to see an inch long tap root already emerged from the seed. They were planted directly into their final pots and placed in their little closet space. The rest of the week was quite boring aside from keeping them watered. I did suffer from early PH fluctuations which was caused by myself on accident. but no stunted growth. This is being grown along with a White Widow XXL.
@Puffer_Bill, I absolutely love the contrast of green and purple! She did all the growing, all I do is water and make sure they get plenty of attention!
Looking like we are a few days apart in our grows, plants are looking good man! I want to compare notes with you cause this is a strain I’ll be growing again.
@Th3L0rAx, I was just thinking about that too, I was thinking about finishing week 9 then chopping. It just depends on how they look I suppose I will probably feed them one last time, maybe twice, then begin it's flush.
@Philindicus, the airy-ness concerns me not! Anything I don’t smoke or larf is processed so some plants get me more from extractions and this will be one of by me!
I have two Bloody skunks going now, they were hit with some Kind xl600 and Electric Sky ES300s so the lighting is there, I probably, could have fed her more, but I always take it easy on my plants. Regardless I am very excited to give her a try!
@CraigGrowsOK, I would like to try this strain. I just did a Bloody Skunk I had a few buds that were kinda loose. Seems like if you hit them with some PK 13/14 around week 6-7 they fill in a bit more and hit them hard with the light. I think the sativa genetics make them a bit airy also. I made Hash oil out of my trimmings it's a nice bonus.
She did @Philindicus, I'll be turning a lot of the plant into hash due to it being quite airy BUT that's fine by me because this was my plant anyway and I'll only be sharing a bit. 😃
@CraigGrowsOK,
“She smells delightful ...”
You have to grow to know -
just how wonderful is the scent of flowering cannabis. And I believe there are antioxidant and other beneficial effects from simply inhaling fresh terpenoids.
I encourage people here in DC, where it’s legal to grow at home, to keep a plant in the entry to greet visitors with these spectacular aromas! Unfortunately, people hide their grows because there is still a stigma.
There was a US president whose slogan in lean times was A Chicken in every Pot. I say, a pot plant in every house!
Hey girlfriend- let him dry in the bedroom. You’ll benefit also!!
@growdoctordc, I cannon wait! She smells delightful, I’m trying to convince my girlfriend to let me dry it in the bedroom so I can bask in the scent. 😎
Dark devil is always a nice strain but your plant looks even more awesome than usually, very nice dairy and congrats for the harvest!
Enjoy your purple flowers. 👍🏻💚
@Th3L0rAx, Fantastic! I’ll need to see lots of harvest pictures from you, I’m also curious about the green devil, I’ve read the green pheno is a real treat to smoke.
Wow! That looks gorgeous! I really like the color! I can only imagine how that tastes like!
Did you remove ScrOG at some point? I am planning to use ScrOG, cause pulling strings is driving me crazy. Why did you remove it? Is this common and what are the gains?
@KarstaHarri, She sure is! I did remove it on day 42, The stems had got pretty hard from switching to flower and she wasn't stretching anymore so I removed it, been the exact same since! I could also go back to moving her around. You can see the benefits by how many budsites I have compared to an un-topped non-LSTed plant, They're all a healthy size too.
Looking good man! You definitely make me wish I would have topped one of the 4, are your tops starting to fatten up, all mine are hard as a rock and roughly the thickness of water bottles now! But the smell that’s the best part
@Th3L0rAx, Honestly I think they're looking great right now, they have been steadily packing on weight. Topping really let me LST her well so I could open her up and let all those budsites breathe, I am really happy with the amount of decent sized buds I have.
I love brushing up on mine, it smells like sweet musty berries.
That's some absolutely beautiful purple on those buds. Nice work. The more I see diaries of this strain the more I want to pick some up. Always such beautiful nugs.
Looking incredible! How exactly are you doing your flush I have never done this before and I’m trying to get as much as advice I can get before the time comes for my crop
