Dark Devil Auto: A Community Grow Record

I don't see any change BB, but I chose the unorthodox method of burying the one gallon pot into a larger pot, so it really wasn't a transplant. I anticipate this will help increase yield, but we'll see.

I have to rearrange my tent too. It never stops, does it? :laughtwo: Good luck with your redo.
Dark Devil #1 - Day 14

I was reading again some strain characteristics. I need to wipe them from my mind and tell you that DD #1 is COMPACT

She is just now starting to grip the mix and this will be her week. This one had a tough germination and the seed was started in a 5 gallon smart pot. She is special. Picture quality - not so special.


Ok, so tiny is typical with these girls sometimes? This one was helped out of the soil 2 weeks ago (see my golden tiger journal in my signature) and is just started the second node a few days ago. She has been practically dormant until the last few days. I put her under a translucent plastic cup this week to keep the humidity up... maybe that was the problem? I'm hoping there's a huge root system that's been growing into the 2 gallon pot and she's gonna take off like a banshee! :)

I've got six DDA at day 15-17. No second set of leaves on any of them yet. Aggravating as hell.

Wow! Who knew they did a 16 week pheno as well :).

Ya she wasn't even thinking about flowering till like day 40

Was seriously thinking she may be a photo....she was a strange one

Are those 6 DDA from your original batch of S1 seeds? That batch was extremely reliable at least for me.

Yes. And not the first time I've had them stop and never grow a second set of leaves. I've said it before...I can't grow in soil. :thedoubletake:

Alrighty then! It looks like she's grown at least 25% since the last update! Exciting times ahead. Will be ensuring the beat possible outcome here by giving her plenty of humidity and proper levels of MC nutes.

:woohoo:

In soil it appears they just take longer. It was one of the reasons I went with hempy, and I got much better results, and product that’s held up wonderfully since harvesting a year ago.

bobrown14 tells me he runs his DDAs like budsicles in smaller pots, and this may be why. Lol! My biggest soil DDA had side lighting that doubled the normal yield.
 
My DDA plugging along at day 61 (in soil).

What size pot are you in there? Did you put seedling in there from the beginning?

Is anyone up-potting these girls?
She's in a 5 gallon pot and that's where I started her from germination.
 
budsicles

I did the small pot budsicles thing and got 2.5 oz (approx) from 2 seperate 1gal pots, each with 2 DDAs in them (yes seed to harvest, 2 plants in a little 1 gallon :D). They were the S1s that dynamo made, and he thought he might have reproduced a runt. It absolutely matters not. The 3 budsicles, and one budsicle with 2 sizeable side branches - the dusty pink pheno) grew and flowered well and are wonderful smoke and oil. I thoguth it a pretty good return from 2gallons of soil (grown in DBHBB). I’ll see if i can dig up a pic

Please don't forget the pics, Amy. I wanna' see!!! :Rasta:
 
When I did my tent with photos in small hempy pots with less than two cups of perlite each I got an average of 1 oz dry per plant. Ziggy outpaced everyone in the Brix group when he went to small pots on a modified SWICK tray. Right now, over at Hempy Headquarters @Buck5050 is showing off his own small-pot experiments and growing more than everyone else.

We like to grow big plants, but time after time we discover that small does the trick more efficiently, under the right setup.
 
I like variety! So developing the art of high quality small plants seems important :)

@Grand Daddy Black ...incoming! Taking a run through my galllery i found these. Shots of the whole plants were hard to capture. They had very few fan leaves and the colas so they required almost no trimming either. Big photos dump. Somewhere in here there’s a pic of the whole tent woth them squeezed into corners. I got a bit overcrowded. I have strategies for that this year ;)

Looking back in my journal from then, it was 2oz from those. The 3 single cola purple ones all yielded btw 9-10g, dried and cured, and the dusty pink one that also produced 4 lower side shoots w buds came in at 20g dry - double the others.

They went about 80days seed to harvest.

Next time I will try them alone in 1gals, instead of in pairs and see if there is any difference. 2oz of DDA from the corners of the tent... I’ll take It!

Thanks, Amy! That looks so interesting. I only have one tent and about 500 seeds :Rasta:so anything I can do to grow more within my space restrictions is of interest.
