Hey guys, I know this is a little off topic. I am new to this forum, and had a question for the sweet seeds gurus, but see no other way to contact them.

I am growing 2 Big Devils right now. They are looking beautiful, but it is now day 36, and although they have been showing pre-flower signs since day 18, they refuse to flower, and continue to veg.

I have them on 18-6 light schedule and feeding with aquaflakes.

My problem is that the girl on the left is now already 1m, tall and my tent only 2m

I know they are supposed to autoflower, but I am running out of space and they are still in veg.
Please help!
Should I switch to 12-12? Is this unusual for this strain??

Hey Tommy g, I need your advice with a couple big devils I am growing that are huge, but still are not flowering. I can find other way to message you. Please Help! They are on week 6 and lots of sexing, but no flowering. Is this unusual???

Hi deeppurple87!

Which Big Devil is it?

Big Devil #1
Big Devil #2
Big Devil XL
Big Devil F1 FV

36 days from germination and not flowering yet is not usual, but it's a mostly sativa autoflowering strain and you probably got the most sativa phenos. If that's the case they will probably start forming flowers very soon. And then everything happens really quick so hopefully they are not that late in the end.

Let me know about which strain it is and if you have the package where they came from let me know also the date and lote number printed in the back of the package (or a picture of the package).

We'll keep in touch. All the best and kind regards,

tommy

Thanks a lot for responding. They are big devil #1
I no longer have the outer packaging unfortunately, but I am certain they are BD#1

that is good to hear they should flower soon. So you would recommend keeping them at 18-6 and not going to 12-12?

Hey guys, growing 2 Big Devil#1s

On day 37 and although they look like they want to flower so bad (pistils, alternating nodes, etc) however no signs of actual flowers yet.

They have been stretching like crazy lately. I was wondering if they look like any Big Devils you guys have grown, and if so, how long it took them to start flowering in your situation.

Appreciate the help.

Here are some pics. The last pic is of the two Big Devils about 5 days ago.

Hi again!

I would probably change it to 14/10 (10 hours of darkness) to help stimulate it a bit. I think they would start flowering anyway very soon, but just to be sure you could change to 14/10 and then once they really start flowering you can increase the light time by 1 hour every week until you get back to 18/6 again.

Hope this helps. Good luck and keep us updated.

Ok, thanks, and will do. I added some of top booster from H&G. Hopefully that will help as well.

[deeppurple87]

So day 50 and I finally have flowers! and this Big devil is huge! less than a foot and a half left in the 6 foot tent

I am using H&G aquaflakes a-b and following a chart.

So I am curious to how long you guys think It will be from this point to harvest from your experience with this strain?

Here are a bunch of pics

Hi mate!
well, watching at your pictures I think she needs 20 days at least, maybe a bit more.
Be careful with the lamp, you could make some LST to your plant if she continuous stretching, to keep away from the extreme hot of the lamp.
Don't forget to update so I can help you
Good luck, you have a great plant there!
