Hey guys, shut of the net at my house and need a new camera so haven't been able to post anything for a while but .....
I just grew out the rest of my Devil's and I will, for sure, be getting another couple of packs. I wasn't too excited with the first run but this second time around I came across some magnificent keepers. Every single plant was different from the others on both runs.
I had 4 ladies this time, 2 that started flowering under 24 hours of light.
The first was done a few weeks ago (about 43 days!!). I lost all cloning material from a toxic grow tent and will be searching for something comparable forever, I am sure. This plant grew one cola without any side branching and was the skunkiest thing I have come across since I grew Skunk #1 back in the mid 90's. None of my other Devil smelled or looked anything like this plant. The buzz is a wonderful giggly high and you can puff it all day without getting burnt. One tiny piece, if not sealed in an airtight container, can stink up a whole club.
The second one that auto-flowered is still going and is really packing on the weight. I broke a branch a week ago and smoked the premature buds the last couple of days and it is already fantastic. It has a very berry smell to it and it tastes a lot like it smells. i supercropped and tied it down after the initial stretch and haven't had to do any training since other than to prop the heavy ass buds up on stakes. I am guessing it will be done within a week, maybe ten days.
The third doesn't have much of an aroma compared to the others but need to be tied down after stretch as well. The bud formation is thick buds with lots of foxtailing. The calyxes are turning a deep deep purple - absolutely lovely looking. This is a much lighter green than some of the other dark oily ones I ran into. The color contrast is simply amazing to look at.
The 4th was done by 60 days and had the classic Afghani smell, taste, buzz, and growth pattern. This stuff is some stoney herb. Two bong rips and your eyes look like they are bleeding! My buddy and I smoked 2 rips at his bar and went down to where the people were and there was no hiding what we did - the thing is we were so pleasantly ripped we didn't give 2 shits who knew! Super stoned but not lethargic. Really neat to smoke this after some La Nina - it is how I been showing my friends the sativa/indica difference.
I have had a few people tell me the taste, smell, and high reminded them of the 90's from a couple of the phenos and I have to agree.
I was not too gung-ho after my first run with the Devil since a few of them were a lot of trouble due to size. It is so worth going through a pack and looking for a mom or 4. There is so much variety in these seeds!! I really wish I would of ordered some more of these when I made my last purchase. I have Med Man and Critical Mass going atm for my indicas but I would love to have a couple phenos of Devil mothers for personal.
Man, I will be thinking of the auto-flowering, single cola, super skunky, 43 day after flip plant I lost forever, I am sure. The good thing is these seeds are inexpensive enough to buy a bunch of the packs and search for it.
If anyone asked me to suggest a single pack of seeds for a personal grow with time and size restrictions I would strongly suggest Devil. So many flavors and highs from one pack of seeds! No two plants were alike.
Job well done, Brother Shanti!!
Thank you
