Dark devil (biobizz + aptus) outdoor organics!

*Disclaimer: growing one plant in my country is completely legal.*



Hi guys,





After a year I'm back (it's summer again, finally).

This time, i'll do a whole other approach.



I sold my indoor grow tent and decided to go all natural with 1 autoflower (outdoor).



Details;

- seed: dark devil auto (sweet seeds)

- 4 - hours of light each days (i planned my grow around the 21th of june fo maximum light).

- Soil: compo sana light mix (with perlite)

- nutrients: base nurtients: biobiz (bio grow & bloom, leafcoat as anti- insects).

supplements: aptus (startbooster, k boost, calmag, topbooster, super pk and regulator)

- A miniature greenhouse for protection against harsh weather (happens every now and then).

- a ~20l root pouch



I'll grow this purple autoflower in these conditions. These may not be optimal but I saw good results with less good conditions.





This picture was taken one day after i germinated my seed in a glass of water.

It already popped.

Good luck bud. Dark Devil is a very fun strain to see grow.

good luck and have fun

Don't get me wrong bro but never trust what the site states about the harvest amount.

It`ll be more between 10~50 depending on how much light, nutes, situational factors etc etc

5 autoflowers will get your a decent amount but aim a whole lot lower than 1 kilo or you (like I was) will be dissapointed

We are getting somewhere now, the two first true leaves are growing fast.

The weather is a bit off but next week we'll get much higher temps and muh more sunlight.

I started with a very small dose of startbooster (aptus) and started doing lst

Day 12:

Everything is going well. Stem is a bit weak though, maybe due to being inside all the time.

I won't order a greenhouse anymore, I've got a bettr idea. I'll keep you updated on this.

Weather is better now, she's going outside soon

It's been a while. It's day 17 now.

I've had the time to finalize my concept and it has worked out wonderfully!

In the pot (see previous pics) the plant was planted in rather firm, heavy soil which didn't allow too much oxygen to pass through.
As a result she looked kind of droopy and unhappy (see day 12 for example).

I had ordered a plastic dome to protect seedlings which has a plastic valve at the top to allow air. I've drilled some more holes
in the sides but minimalised the surface so that a minimal amount of water would pass through in case of rain.
I also made made a mechanism so that the dome would be slightly lifted from the side of the pot to allow further air flow.

The result: a fully protected biosphere which allows air to pass through and protects against wind, rain, hail, birds, cats etc.
This project costed around 20 euros.

Also, I bought some compo sana light soil mix with perlite to transplant the plant into (which is much lighter and more water retaining than the other soil, it was out of stock when i went to get it earlier).

Now, the plant looks very happy as the leaves are nicely pointed upward! I think this is a HUGE improvement. It'll also catch all the sunlight there is without missed out on light due to moving the pot when it's raining.

Have a look!
