Dark Devil Auto: A Community Grow Record

Awesome looking girl Kushtie
Thanks bud. Believe it or not that's the smallest auto I've grown in NFT........well, apart from the time I stuck 4 in the same res but I won't be doing that again.
DDA is a strain I wanted to grow anyway ('cos Sue says it's awesome) but I also wanted to grow a strain that loads of others have grown loads of different ways to see how NFT shapes up.

Hi everyone. May I please ask for some advice?
Firstly, my DD is fine. I have a Skunk #1 Auto from Sensi, that at day 47, has thrown out 2 nanners. I gently removed them.
Do I need to pull this plant from my tent or try to keep picking nanners, as and when? I don't want cross pollination....
And we were getting along so well....

I'd let it run if the buds look like they'll smoke nice....the risk of a few seeds are less of a problem than having less to smoke if you ask me.
Never been in your position but did pull one a couple of runs back that looked male and wasn't going to produce any buds worth smoking. I started pulling nanners until I was sure it wasn't worth keeping though.

Naners show up from time to time. They will only pollinate that particular bud, IF that. Nothing I worry about too much other than its a sign of stress. For me its usually letting the lady go past her prime time to reproduce. It's actually a sign that you have a healthy plant.
IF all your buds have them it's a genetic issue, if its just here and there, no worries but don't go touching them and then touching other buds.. you will be the pollinator, think like a bee dance like a butterfly! They are not very vigorous and have VERY little pollen not enough to pollinate neighboring plants or even neighboring buds. That said, when you get a few seeds from this they will all be female.
Every once in a while I get a seed or 3 from a plant.... collect and grow. The plant grown from that seed will be just like a clone of the mother plant and be a female. The only difference is the stress that caused the nanner will have influence over the next plant, whatever that may be. You're really on the forefront of genetics here - there's no clear science on why and what comes next other that a 100% copy of the female mother. I actually am happy when I find a seed while trimming... kinda pays for the work just put in.
"Naners" are actually pretty common in Dioecious plants (plants with separate male and female sexed plants) - this is completely different than Hermaphrodites - which have both fully functional male and female parts on the same plant. The "nanner" is not a completely fully functioning male. It's the female reaction to going down to the end without being pollinated, so she gets creative. She's got enough energy to do this which is why I say a sign of a healthy plant. It's also a very good sign - time to chop, or like me I wait it out.
Oh and they will not be more likely to present nanners the next round. <-- = stoner science, there's no facts to back that up.
I've got some nanner seeds going right now and have grown them out in past grows and cloned them! All with "as expected" result.

Here's one of my DD in flower:
Doing a little experiment - this one is in 12ish/12ish flowering along with my other Photo ladies
Here's her seed mate - growing in 20/4 along with other photo plants in VEG - this was a few weeks ago tho.
I grow these all the time. It's soo fun to get me some purple nugs and the meds are mighty fine. I like to pare this bud with a nice old vine Zinfandel mmmmm mmmmm mmmmm. Oh and on a non work night! FTW

Good grief Kushtie!!!! Look at the size of her!!! Well done!
How much do you think she's going to give you? Rough guess.- Thread starter

BB, I always get excited when I see you've posted. You have the most beautiful pictures, and you certainly didn't dissapoint today. Thanks for the info on nanners. Haven't come up against them myself. I like the awareness that it's a sign of a healthy plant.
I'll be checking up on your experimental girl. I did my last three under 11/13 light and I'm hoping to get much better yield this time under 20/4. Actually, this one will be the first one I've grown under decent light scheduling. You have all that space and inventory to let you play more.

Thank you very much BB. I'll keep an eye on her and let her go 11 weeks, as planned. Very much appreciated.
Ps, your ladies look fab.

My "souvenir stamp set" arrived in the mail today haha will be popping one of these beans as soon as I can. Got a current grow going and need house repairs so probably won't be for a little bit but will post here as soon as they go for there bath. Don't mind other seeds as they were a group shot haha
I didn't smoke it, so I couldn't tell you. But the feedback has been tastes great, body high.
Good grief Kushtie!!!! Look at the size of her!!! Well done!
200g (7oz) would be nice as that's what it says on the back of the seed packet for an outdoor plant and it's one of 3 plants under a 600W so I'm hoping she pulls her weight and doesn't bring the average down too much for this grow.
At one point I was seeing growth rates getting close to 4 inches a day with her......can get quite silly growth rates with NFT as there's nothing much in the way of the roots

I have grown impatient and have finally decided to let a DD seed go for a swim(she's in the darkvoid shot glass). So I went to local hydro shop picked up sunshine mix #4 as I was out of soil and some root pouches otherwise know as fabric pots.
You guys dunking seeds - try adding in some aloe gel and some pure coconut water. Those 2 have everything and more than cloning gel/powers have (and organic) and are good for cloning and sprouting.
I soak my rooting plugs in that ^^^ solution and then drop seeds in and hope for the best. I've got 4 DD going from seeds right now... 3 for 4 and the 4th sprouted but got going the wrong way... toast. My wife is killing it with our cloner and seeds with that mix. She's 6 for 6 sprouting Dalias. That's completely insane - those Dalia seeds are 4 years old.. not that its a long time but 100% with old seeds is saying something.

Thanks there SS - a healthy plant that is stressed... I usually stress my ladies with too much heat or too long in flower (strain dependent). I get used to a specific medicinal effect from letting my 75 day strain go 85 days but I sometimes get nanners and a few seeds, like 1 to 3 per plant. One of my best plants (medicinally) of all time had a few nanners and a few seeds.
Experimental girl is doing very well so I put another auto in my flower room for the 11:30/12:30 lighting schedule. The only difference I see with one plant (hard to draw any conclusions) is longer flower time but that could = larger yields. So not a bad thing. Way too early ... I just may start to fill in my flower room with a handful of DD plants - all my friends LOVE that for some reason..
