So the journey begins once again! Dark Devil Auto Tester for Sweetseeds. Excited for this one as I always am. No problems getting this beauty to sprout. Pre-soaked my Coco, left a few hours and popped a seed straight in the 12L pot, light spray then 3 days later and we have lift off. As always, I didn't feed for the first week due to presoaking. Will start this off on some nutrients from today/tomorrow and I'll be topping this around week 3 hopefully and will do bits of LST. Running with some new nutrients for my next grows, decided to give Shogun Samurai nutes a go. Let's go!!!

Solid second week. Responded well to the nutrients. Feeding nutrients every 2/3 days, plain water the 3rd. Next week will be nutrients every feed. Expect to top this in the next week or two. See what next week brings!

Had zero complications so far with this Dark Devil tester for Sweetseeds. Feeding well and growing even better. I'll be topping this in the next day or two. Always love growing the purple strains. Can't wait to see the buds these produce! On to next week!

Week 4 has come to an end! This Dark Devil was topped early this week and is responding brilliantly! Two new main stems growing healthy and strong. Seems to be responding very well to the feeding schedule. Feeding nutes one day and without the next. Will start to defoliate and do some training in the next week or so and I'm expecting a lot of growth next week. Lets see what it brings!

This Dark Devil Auto has really exploded into life this week, doubling in size. Had zero problems so far, feeding well, growing even better. Responding so well to been topped. As you can see those two branches have sky rocketed this week! Hoping to see signs of flowering this week. For now the feeding schedule will stay the same. Onto next week!

Another solid week! We entered flowering this week, a little late no doubt due to topping and defoliating. That been said we're still looking really healthy. Love the symmetry that's going on! Tomorrow I will start with boost nutrients so the feeding schedule will be changed slightly. Cant wait to see how they respond! Will continue to do light defoliation for the next week or two. Onto next week!

Feels like I've not had much time with the plants this week. Things still seem to be going well. Had another massive stretch this week which should be the last. Still looking really healthy and this Dark Devil has started to bud and even showing some slightly purple hues. Bit late moving these onto boost nutrients but we'll see how they respond. Also did some light defoliation this week. On to next week.

Buds have started to form nicely this week. Think it's achieved it's full height so should start to see these buds growing. This one is getting big but I've got plenty of space so should be all good! On to next week!

Another solid week. This has stopped growing in height finally! Starting to pack on the buds and also starting to see the first purple hues coming though. Think in the next week or two I'm going to have to start using bamboo to support the buds. Cant wait to see what this looks like when it's done. This week I've done light bits of defoliation but I don't think I'm going to do much more from now to the end. On to next week!

Not many photos this week. Really struggling for time and still not had chance to get a new light so still running on the LED'S. Still look healthy, just maybe slowed down on the growth a bit. On the plus side, it's really starting to stink in here😂👍 On to next week

Still not getting the time I want with these. If I could quit my job and grow full-time I would! 😂 Decided this week I'm going to let these run on the LED's until the end of the grow as they're not too far away. Will upgrade to new lights for the next batch! Some descent bud growth this week and starting to look frosty and very pink/purple. Having to take photos whilst the lights are off because everything comes out pink due to the lights. Reckon this only have a few weeks left. On to next week.

This one is good to go. Plenty of cloudy trichomes and some amber. Was going to chop this weekend but didn't quite get chance so this will get the chop next weekend. This Dark Devil has been a pleasure to grow. After topping I've ended up with 4 huge stems with descent sized kola's. Could be bigger but my time issues won't have helped, along with the main light dying 3-4weeks before the end of the grow. Will definitely be growing Sweetseeds again. Cant wait to see what the final result is with this Dark Devil. Stay tuned for the weigh in and smoke report in the next few weeks!

Another grow under the belt. Learning new stuff with each grow. The only problem I had with this grow was the main light dying 4 weeks before the end of the grow! This Dark Devil didn't disappoint. I love growing the purple strains and this produced some great colours! Early on I topped and this responded really well. Ended up with 4 main towers with nice Cola's. I had this drying for about 7-8 days and in jars now for 3-4 days and the smoke report is definitely a good one. Not too heavy and I can really taste a fruity citrus taste coming through. Another few weeks in the jars and that flavour should come through even more but happy so far. Unfortunately the buds weren't as dense as I would have like bit the light dying didn't help and with the size of the tent I was growing in I don't think I had enough light anyway. Things to think about with the next grows which will include another of Sweetseeds strains, Red Pure CBD. Can't wait to see how that goes! Thanks to Sweetseeds for letting me test and keep up the good work!! 👍🙌
