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.
Week two went smooth nothing more than watering and waiting for them to explode. Still no nutrients, but this is the week I noticed PH issues showing, That was due to washing my soil beforehand with non PHed water and planting directly in that medium and swinging the PH down to a normal level.
This week is where the PH issues started to shine. Growth was never stunted as you can see, she didn't ever stop. I also topped this week and never saw a cease in growing.
I shortly tied her up and started my first set of LST, after a bit she was moved back into the grow room after minor construction where she will remain under the SCROG, this is my first time using a screen.
Nutrients were light at around 1/4 dose.
4/8/2019 Sorry I missed a week, I was out of town for a few days and was out a phone for a bit too, I've been collecting these photos all day across 3 different devices and making this journal 35 days in. I should have more regular updates from here on out.
4/9/2019 Fertilized with the trio and cal mag, all is well here, Really liking the progress Im seeing.
4/13/2019 Another feed day, I always water the day before. Watered about a gallon on 4/12 and .8 with nutrients.
4/14/2019 Measured in at 25 inches to the tallest cola.
4/16/19 Start of a new week with a dry day.
4/17/19 Watered today, also added an extra cal mag feeding noticed on one of the bigger fan leaves some slight calcium def. honestly may not be new but we’re taking precautions anyway.
4/20/19 noticed cal mag deficiency upped the cal mag. She’s hungry!! Bud production is in full swing, the purple is really starting to shine now. If only I could get a good picture of it.
4/23/19 Start of a new week. Watered with plain water.
4/24/19 Moved into the flower tent with the rest of her sisters on a 12/12 schedule. Fed today.
4/26/19 Watered today
4/27/19 feeding day.
4/29/19 End of the week no more nutrients. Flush time.
4/30/19 start of a new week, las feeding was today, it’s flush time. I’ll probably chop her down around 70 days or a few more.
5/3/19 Watered with clean water. Trichomes are probably 50/50 clear/cloudy. It’s hard af to get a decent look with what I have I need a good recommendation.
5/6/19 Snagged a decent jewelers loupe hence the close up pictures. Watered with clean water. End of the week! One more to go!
5/7/19 Final week! This bad boy is coming down on Sunday, continuing to flush in prep for chop, cruising through the rest of this week.
5/10/19 Day 68 Starting to show a bit of yellowing coming along as she continues to flush. I will be chopping her down in two more days.
5/11/19 Realized tomorrow is mother’s day and my girlfriend thinks just because she’s a mom I gotta do stuff for her even though they ain’t mine, lmfao sorry. CHOPPED her down today at Day 69 and got her all kinds of wet trimmed and hung up to dry! She is very spongy but I was kind of expecting it as I have read that it happens with some dark devils. Will post pics soon.
This strain was a lot of fun to grow, Training was easy, it responded well and rolled with the punches, She was CalMag hungry as that as my only noted deficiency.
She was chopped at day 69, would have been 70 but I had mothers day plans with the Ol' lady. The wet weight is everything but the bigger fan leaves (larf galore). I love the smell I loved growing it, but I do not like how airy the buds turned out, I use quality LEDs and have a white widow in another journal that grew along side it under the same conditions, even the same trainings to the point where there structured extremely similarly, and the White Widow is ROCK SOLID.
BUT with that being said, the trichome production was very nice, the sugar leaves will leave me with a lot of hash (half the buds were considered larf but were so sticky and covered in trichomes) and the smell is very sweet, berries and a hint of lemonaid and must. Keep in mind this is a taste after just a couple days of drying a sample bud and no cure. Overall its definitely smokable ill probably give some out but I would rather keep the airy stuff for me to smoke/process because I love it all.
I am currently taking the week as a T-break so I can give everyone here a proper smoke report, including myself.

Dry bud weight is only 51g BUT all the trim did get me a couple of grams, probably 3 of some incredible hash, The Hash taste like blueberry pie and a glass of lemonaid, the flower is similar but with a bit of a musky punch, the high hit me straight in the head and had me laughing at myself for getting so stoned, literally all i wanted was that pie and lemonaid that's all that I had on my mind. after a bit it mellowed out into a nice relaxing sativa feel, I wasn't nearly as full of energy but I was by no means tired either.
@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
