I see people harvesting their DDA around 70 days and can only wonder....why? 
Leaving so much on the table. Might as well not even grow it if you're not going to let it mature and fatten.

That's crazy. The seedbanks claim at least 85 days. Most people I see with these particular seeds are doing 95 to 100+.
Mine will be harvested at about 90 days, not because I want to, but because I will need the meds and the space by then. She got bigger than i expected. The DDA seedling that I just started will get the full 100+ as I will soon have a dedicated auto space.

After 2 weeks in the root cellar curing...she's back in there for the long haul (I had to shoot some photos of her!)

@MrIcculus .......... Bravo!
I've been busy and kept looking longingly at the thread as I zipped by on my way to somewhere else and nearly missed this. OMG am I glad my passion inspired you. That is one lovely plant.
I got 4 ounces out of one of my earlier girls, and I've been chasing that magic ever since. Lol! May your results be more consistently over-the-top than mine. Well done sir....well done.

I wonder if they grow better indoors @Bilbobudkin420 . I heard someone recently got 4 oz off one. I had 2 outdoors this summer and only got 0.5 oz off each...

damn! Id like to get 4oz a plant period let alone autos.
Im sure Ill get a lot more growth out of them under 24h light. Just hoping the purp still comes out as strong though. Saying that the blackberry ive had under 24h light indoors is black!. Soo hopefully i just get lucky with the purple pheno

4oz off the first DDA, just under 5oz on the second run plus about 6 grams of DDA fem pollen in the fridge. All in 3 gallons of coco under LED. Harvested the first at 69 days, the second at 73 days and have rounded up about 200 DDA beans so far from the second girl.
What a joy it is indeed, to watch from seed to harvest, these beautiful gifts grow.

How are you getting them to mature so fast? I don't see mine, currently about day 51, being anywhere near done in those time frames. This is my first time with one of these purple/magenta beauties, so I am curious.4oz off the first DDA, just under 5oz on the second run plus about 6 grams of DDA fem pollen in the fridge.

Mine is now being pollinated so I am at least 6 weeks out which puts me closer to the 100 day mark that many folks use as a guideline. I was going to harvest at 90 days but seed maturity will have to rule.

I'm not really certain why mine are maturing that quickly. I use a veg feed schedule thru the first week of stretch, a transition feed the second week and a flower feed to the leaching/flush of the last 7-10 days. She always tells me when she is ready for the florakleen.
I need to correct myself here. The first was taken on day 67. The second on day 82.

Ahhh see. Hydro systems seem to be the best way to get beasty autos. I'm happy with soil for the minute though. If i dont stunt my auto girls with training they get pretty big indoors under 24h light4oz off the first DDA, just under 5oz on the second run plus about 6 grams of DDA fem pollen in the fridge.

Beautiful girls you have there. Yeah, mine don't get 24 hrs of light, unfortunate they only get 12/day their whole life. The faster maturity is definitely interesting. Thanks for sharing.

I'll be running a DDA in DWC next year's grow to see if she can get HUGE!!!
I have a tester that's ready today of my Daddy's Devil...aka... DDA x GDP, realllllllllllly excited to test her out

I haven't yet tried 24h light yet, this is happening w/18h of light and agreed, hydro does seem best at making beasty autos.

You're most welcome, I'm quite grateful to have a place like
to be able to share our passion for this, our most valuable of renewable resources. I can imagine having 24h a day light would speed up the harvest, though I'm not sure how significantly. I've found a happy medium at 18/6 with autos, think I'll stick with it for now.

If it goes anything like what Rifleman has done in the past with DWC, my guess would be, HUGE DDA!
Ooooooo that sounds lovely. GDP pollen donor?
