Wait until no more white pistols.... and then wait a few more days. Step back away from the lady she's still not ready. My guess is 10 more days. I usually wait until no more new pistols, and then wait. This is the time when the plant is bulking up, you can get 2X the yield with some patience. She's looking PERFECT, water for the win, and not too much. At some point you will notice an abrupt change in water uptake. That's another sign she's done. It happens pretty fast, say a day or 2 ... chop and hang. Keep it green and purple.

I wonder how many growers have to learn this by making a mistake here and harvest early? I know I am guilty.

Hi everyone,

I've read every page. I'm in and I feel absolutely privileged to have access to these seemingly excellent genetics. Grow on my friends. I'm looking forward to sharing my plant with you all.

Ps. They're not usually that droopy. Thirsty plants.

Pps. She's the little one, one day old. :)

:Namaste:
 
Welcome Barliman, and may your tiny charge grow and gift you with a luscious harvest. We look forward to sharing her journey with you. :battingeyelashes: :Love:
 
The only thing stopping me from starting a dark devil seed is that I misplaced the pack while stoned! Gotta find them today. Foolish Shiggy!!!
 
Wow! What a beauty though, and you still have plenty of time to beef up the buds. Mine took longer than the projections. Such gorgeous colors! :high-five:

Thankfully I only lost one seed whilst drunk.....must be something about this one :biglaugh:

Anyway, the one I didn't lose ended up getting stuck in a 20L NFT system:

About to switch her to flowering nutes. Not too sure on day number at the mo.
 
All caught up and I have to say there's been some really interesting information posted in the thread. The post by Conradino mentioned earlier in the thread was actually directed at me as I was looking into going organic for the first time and all the different recipes and science surrounding them were getting me lost. That one short paragraph was the best advice that I have ever received regarding turning to organic, I have a plant growing with that recommendation in mind and it is by far the most beautiful and stress free plant that I have grown yet, with a stem that's thicker than my thumb and solid, plus the buds are a good size compared to my last grows of that particular strain. It's amazing how one short paragraph can change what was becoming stressful work back into an enjoyable hobby again, one that actually works too :)

Back on topic I can't believe I missed this thread for so long, I really need to get out of my subscriptions and into new posts a lot more in the future. I Harvested two Dark Devil auto's around the beginning of January that I grew in what I'll refer to as 'starter organics', basically Canna Terra Pro prebagged soil and organic nutes. Unfortunately I had to pull the plants a little earlier than I would have liked Due to work starting on my house, but damn their smoke is unlike anything I have ever smoked. I don't know whether it was the strain, the 'starter organics' or a mixture of the two but it hits cleanly, and it hits hard! I gave some to an old grower friend of mine and he agreed that it was completely different to anything that he had tried previously (he's an underground 'commercial' grower and everything is synthetics, flush, quick dry (no cure) and out for sale). It was funny really, two grown men giggling away whilst he's trying to tell me about his brain tingling.

This was that particular harvest, I think I got around 22grams from 2 plants but I'm no green fingered gardener by any means so I was happy that they made a harvest, but the smoke as I say is of real quality.

One of the buds after curing (really solid feeling to these buds)

How it looked in the jar in comparison to my other grows:

The end result of trying these was that I already have another two growing in my veg tent, which says enough in itself as to how much I enjoyed them. I'll get some photo's of the two girls up when I next get to the tent (never takes too long as I'm always 'just checking up' on the girls) :rofl:

All the best everyone and thanks for making the community grow not only a great read, but a great experience with a wealth of information too!

yes my friend . I could let it go another 30 days if need be, there is no rush on my end (other than wanting to try) . I usually wait until 1/3 amber trichs to chop. I'm just getting really excited to try it because in all honesty I have never grown/smoked a purple/red strain.

Im sure I will test a sample after it hangs for a couple days but I will definitely let the rest have a good cure.

She also has a younger sister that I need to post a pic of :cheesygrinsmiley:

I'm way guilty on my first couple beans . They were 60 day wonders and I thought 60 day and chop. Never checked trichs, didn't care about pistils just whacked em at 60 days. fast forward a few years and patience ,patience ,patience. And I must say even though im a new member , I learned just about everything I know about this wonderful plant here on :420: and I am constantly learning from all of you guys/gals .:thanks:
