Red Devil Auto - Week by Week Grow Diary & Strain Review

Red Devil Auto started this indoor run with a rather simple setup. Not too hard, just growing in soil and doing some hands-on work with the canopy after the plant got going.

The early growth was steady, but it didn't explode. It took some time for it to get its roots down before it could really start moving above the ground, like many cars. After that, the plant got into a steady pace.

The growth wasn't smooth all the way through. There was some transplant stress early on, and a small nutritional imbalance showed up in the middle of the flower. But neither ailment lasted very long. Just a few modest changes were all it took to get things back on track.

Red Devil Auto turned out to be a difficult little plant as the weeks went by. It did well with training, remaining small over the whole cycle, and kept adding bud sites to the canopy as the flowers grew.

By the end, the plant's focus had completely turned to ripening and resin production, which helped it finish stable indoors.

Grow Setup

Grow Diary

Weeks 1–2 – Seedling Establishment

The first two weeks were when Red Devil Auto burst through the earth and started to grow its roots. At this point, growth was still slow since the plant was putting most of its energy into the ground.

The seedling started to grow its first real leaves and settle into the soil above ground. Watering stayed light so that the medium didn't get too wet while the roots grew.

Weeks 3–4 – Early Vegetative Growth

The plant started sending forth fresh sets of leaves and progressively establishing its structure by the third week.

During this stage, there was a short time of transplant stress, which caused some leaves to seem a little bent. The grower didn't try to push the plant along; instead, they cut off the damaged leaves and let it heal on its own.

Being patient paid off. In a short amount of time, the plant went returned to steady growth.

Weeks 5–6 – Training Begins

Training began when the plant had grown a little more structure.

To open up the canopy and induce lateral growth, low-stress training was added. To let more light into the plant, the branches were gently tugged outward.

Red Devil Auto did a good job with the change. It didn't slow down; instead, it started to spread out and make more growth points.

Weeks 7–8 – Canopy Development & Early Flower

The canopy kept getting bigger throughout this time because training and light defoliation helped keep the air moving.

Around this time, the first hints of flowers started to show. Pistils began to appear all over the plant, signifying the end of vegetative growth.

The structure stayed tight, but bud sites were starting to show up on the trained branches.

Weeks 9–10 – Flower Formation

As the flowers opened, it was easy to see the buds growing throughout the canopy.

Some lollipopping was done to get rid of lower growth that wasn't getting much light. This helped the plant focus its energy on the primary bud sites that were higher up.

Training changes slowed down a little bit when the plant put more energy into making flowers.

Weeks 11–12 – Mid Flower Adjustments

Some of the plant's leaves started to look a little pale in the middle of flowering.

This made it seem like there was a small nutritional imbalance. The grower maintained an eye on how the plant reacted while they made tiny changes to the feeding schedule by adding nitrogen and cal-mag.

Even if there was a temporary imbalance, the flowers kept growing without stopping.

Weeks 13–14 – Flower Development

After the feeding changes were made, the plant became stable again.

As part of regular care, some of the plant's fading leaves were taken off. The plant kept sending energy to the flowers. At this point, it became easier to see that resin was being made.

Weeks 15–16 – Ripening Stage

The last few weeks were all about getting ready.

The flowers kept growing, but Red Devil Auto stayed small. The plant's trichome coverage grew, and it was all about ending the cycle.

The plant had achieved the last stage of its growth at the end of Week 16.

Detailed Observations & Grower’s Reflections

Overall, Red Devil Auto was a really forgiving plant. The plant did well even when little problems came up during the grow. The grower made changes and the plant did well.

The genotypes were able to tolerate a variety of training methods without showing any noticeable signs of stress. They used low-stress training, high-stress training, and periodical defoliation to shape the canopy while maintaining growth even.

The plant stayed easy to care for and predictable throughout the cycle, which was good for growing inside.

Challenges & Solutions

There were two tiny problems that came up during the grow.

The first one happened early on, when some leaves changed shape because of transplant stress. Taking off the damaged leaves and letting the plant heal was all it took to fix the problem.

The second problem came up in the middle of the blossom cycle, when some of the leaves started to become pale. This suggested that the nutrients were not balanced.

Changing the feeding frequency and adding small amounts of nitrogen and calcium helped the plant stay stable.

After those changes, the plant kept blooming without any more difficulties.

Red Devil Auto: Final Result and Strain Review

Red Devil Auto turned into a small, strong indoor plant.

The plant always bounced back once the grower made tiny changes to how they fed it and managed the canopy, even though a few changes were needed along the way.

It's easy to care for this autoflower indoors because it can handle training and get over small problems. This is especially true for growers who like to shape their plants while still keeping the flowers growing steadily.
