Dark Devil Auto: A Community Grow Record

It's so good to be here, Sue. When you started this journal up, I just loved the idea of a strain journal, comparing so many different styles and types of grows. And I am so excited about smoking this!

Nothing exciting going on in the tent, just a little baby getting her second set of leaves - her stem is so much more purple than her tent-mates' :)

"Wolf call" you can tell she's going to be a looker when she grows up :)
 
Here we go, a video just for you guys for Dark Devil.

I say how old she is in the video. I think she is as purple as he is going to get, so I am going to chop her tonight or tomorrow. Her leaves are all died up. She has been ready to come down. I just used a trick to purple her up. Set her close to the AC so the cold air is blowing on her and fed her with 60 degree water.

And a slightly lower PH can help, like 5.4 5.3, but only for a few days. and only after the plant is finished.

Thank you so much for this video -- I think of myself as a woman geared to the written word, but I think I learn better from demonstrations and the spoken word :) So much great info here. It explains why my first grow purpled a bit, even though it was a non-purple strain :)

Thank you. This was exactly what I was hoping for when I suggested this thread. By joining together we can learn each other's tricks and keep improving on our grows. Oooo..... This got me really excited. :slide:

My last remaining plant comes down on Sunday. She's so tiny as to be a shock, but look at the color she's beginning to show.

I'm feeling confident about my soil mix and its ability to bring out the best in the strain. Now I need to grow one with enough light to let it do what it's meant to. My first run when I start back will be two Dark Devil Autos. It should be fun. I'm so glad this thread is here, because I'm going to miss my garden something fierce, and this will help me survive the down time. :laughtwo:
 
Dark Devil Auto - Day 70


Background: In 4'x4' tent, Mars Hydro II 900 along with 2 photo period plants so she's been 12/12 since 10/30/15 using RAW nutes, some Overdrive, Molasses and a taste of Epson salt. She was germinated in her final 5 gal smart pot. She is 20 inches and bud back building of 3 colas was done 11/18/2015. Straight water during the last week and until harvest.

She's fading now with most of pistils browning. Trichomes will monitored closely for a few amber. Buds are frosty.

She's really lovely, MJ. Those colours are so soft and beautiful.
 
Here's my baby Dark Devil as she was yesterday:

Nothing to report -- all going well so far!
 
Welp!

Im kinda, almost here. Been waiting weeks to join this party. Not sure my DD feels the same.
Started the process back on Nov 22, popped up yesterday.

Hasnt done much since, but is alive.
Nearly gave up on her twice. Once, while curiously digging to see the seed before tossing...i spotted it, a giant(thick) root about an inch long laying flat..horizontally, odd. Covered it and let it go..

Anyways. Hope to be back soon, with an awakened stubborn lil girl. Can only imagine what that spells for keeping her happy through flower:straightface:

I believe day one is when the cots open and the first set of leaves are open as well.
