Editorial profile

Devil in detail

Origin & classification

According to the source, Devil has been appreciated by outdoor growers since the late 1980s. The version listed by Mr Nice Seedbank traces back to Afghanistan × Afghan/Skunk and is attributed to Shantibaba. Its selection was aimed particularly at outdoor and greenhouse cultivation, although indoor growing is also mentioned. The name makes a tongue-in-cheek reference to the distinctive characteristics of this old Afghan-Skunk strain.

Aroma & flavour

During early development, Devil may initially appear slow. Once a well-established root ball has formed, growth is said to gain considerable momentum. The source describes the strain as suitable for biological substrates as well as hydroponic systems. It is recommended for both beginners and experienced growers. Such breeder-related assessments do not mean that every plant requires no attention; rather, they indicate a fundamentally accessible and adaptable line.

Terpene profile

Indoor flowering usually takes approximately eight weeks, although individual plants may require longer. For greenhouse and outdoor cultivation in the Northern Hemisphere, the description gives late September to early October as an approximate harvest window. Climate, location and phenotype influence these dates. The master data entry of eight to nine weeks should therefore be understood as a guideline rather than a fixed completion date.

Effect tendency

Devil is described as having a reddish appearance and a full fruity flavour. In the structured data, a skunky note complements the aroma. More specific fruit types or individual terpenes have not been documented, which is why the profile deliberately remains general. The reddish appearance is documented as a recurring breeder-related observation; how pronounced it becomes may depend on genetics and environmental conditions.

Cannabinoids, flowering & appearance

The yield information also comes directly from the provider's description and assumes suitable conditions. Rather than treating it as a guarantee, it can be stated that Devil was selected for indoor, outdoor and greenhouse cultivation with productive potential in mind. Regarding effects, the source uses figurative wording about a particular mental journey, but does not provide a sufficiently precise, sober effect profile. The reliable points are therefore its Afghan-influenced ancestry, initially root-focused growth, suitability for various cultivation systems, fruity-skunky aroma, possible red hues and comparatively early outdoor maturity.
