Dark Devil Auto®

Finalmente è completa anche l'ultima metà pianta dopo averla lasciata poco più di una settimana per farla maturare ho raccolto tutto e devo dire che il peso mi ha ripagato di tutti gli sforzi e la cura. 150g INCREDIBILE SUPER FELICE!!!!!

Besides the small yield the buds produced from this Sweet Seeds strain were very impressive! I tested out a couple different potting mixes and looking back now I wish I had picked a freebie seed to test with. The buds are some of the most aromatic I’ve ever smelt, the purple phenos almost smell like diesel and red wine :fuelpump:️ :wine_glass::fire: the green/purple phenos had a more fruity/skunky type smell :watermelon: The purple phenos also had sugary resin drops all over the buds! I’ve only ever seen this in pictures and was pretty stoked to see it on my homegrown. I plucked them off and added them to my scissor hash and smoked that while I was trimming, which was delicious btw! :yum:

Now onto the soil I was testing ... Normally I make my own soil but this past year has been hectic trying to find the supplies I normally get. Covid created a big growing boom in Michigan and almost everything I needed to build a soil properly was out of stock and outrageous to ship to my home. I wanted to find a soil that is available throughout my town at hydro shops and the Baby Bu’s and Nectre For The Gods are carried at almost every store. Both soils had “premium ingredients” and sounded great on paper. Both are geared towards living Organics but both fell short of their promises. The Baby Bu’s was unbalanced from the beginning and stunted two different type of phenos making them look almost identical. The yield from the two plants grown in the Baby Bu’s was maybe 10grams total not including trim? The other two grown in the NFG mix yielded slightly more but nothing that I was hoping for. I think both types of soil are fine if you use bottled nutrients or plan to add other amendments like castings, basalt, etc. But on their own I wouldn’t recommend either for autoflowers.

I didn't get the yield i should have out of this but it wasn't the genetics. I had too much going on and gone three days at a time then home for two days. Considering what I did to this entire grow, surprising I didn't kill the entire crop.

What I learned about this strain;
Not many fan leaves so be careful if you defoliate.

Fast finisher so make sure you hit it good with your P&k nutrients hard and fast in flower.
Calmag and nitrogen it hard in veg. Not much veg time.

Lst early and keep the lights a little high in veg and give it some stretch.
Once it flowers keep your lights as close as you can. I would really suggest week 2 or 3 to even over power your lights for 2-3 days to stunt the flower stretch a little to keep your bud tops tight.

Definitely drop your Temps the last 2 weeks.
This plant is an awesome plant, ill definitely be growing it again.

Smell ike lavender candy. Real sweet smell

The Dark Devil Auto from Sweet Seeds has been my favorite plant to grow so far. These guys have some great genetics and some truly beautiful plants come out of them! The smell is rich like grapes mixed with chocolate. That doesn't sound appetizing but the combination of smells is unbelievable. The high takes you up and makes you thoughtful and then mellows you out and helps you reflect. Very chill but not drowsy buzz. Roommate's review: "Wowwww! This is on a whole 'nother level!" and I agreed wholeheartedly. Thanks, Sweet Seeds!

I had some problems in the grow but I think it was my fault as it's my first time using an auto pot system
