Big Devil #2 Auto Ruderalis Strain – Sweet Seeds
We remain within the devilish and highly fragrant Sweet Seeds family with Big Devil #2 Autoflowering, the successful evolution of the very first large-scale autoflower produced by the Spanish seedbank. This third-generation genetics was developed with a biological intent that was revolutionary for its time: shattering the stereotype of dwarf, low-yielding autoflowers by stabilizing an automatic plant capable of reaching significant heights and commercial yields close to those of its photoperiod sisters.
It develops a slender, imposing, and beautifully branched structure, with a vegetative plane that grows vigorously and develops long secondary branches covered in geometrically dense calyxes. The central cola assumes remarkable proportions, surrounded by a leveled canopy that captures light optimally.
It produces voluminous, dense buds entirely covered in a glossy, resinous blanket of sticky trichomes with an intensely sweet scent. It is the ideal photoperiod-independent plant for those demanding large volumes and commercial buds in record time.

Grow Management (Indoor and Outdoor)
Indoors, Big Devil #2 Auto demands careful technical guidance due to its above-average dimensions. Being a vigorous autoflower, it is mandatory to sow it directly into the final container (11-15 liter pots) to allow the root platform to expand without the stress of transplanting, which would lock up the biological timer. It responds spectacularly to a constant photoperiod of 20 hours of light and 4 of darkness throughout the entire cycle.
Nutrient absorption is high from the very first floral weeks: it supports a maximum EC of 1.5-1.6 in advanced flowering, with a VPD of 1.2-1.3 kPa. Light LST across the branch plane will help control height and widen the canopy.
Outdoors, this autoflower expresses its full large-scale commercial vigor. It develops a deep root platform that allows it to anchor firmly and tolerate summer heat well. Thanks to its life cycle of just 9 weeks, it allows planning multiple consecutive harvests from April to October.
The open and structurally aerated conformation of its aerial mass favors constant airflow between the flowers, granting it excellent immune resistance to botrytis, making it ideal for high altitude or humid guerrilla cultivation, where the plant reaches perfect maturation without the need for invasive structural supports.
Terpene Profile and Effect
The organoleptic bouquet of Big Devil #2 Auto is a festival of pungent sweetness. During advanced floral development, the buds saturate the air with an intense, sugary, and enveloping scent dominated by exotic tropical fruit and skunk undertones, immediately refreshed by warm notes of incense and sweet aromatic herbs. On the palate, the smoke is full-bodied, smooth, and leaves a highly pleasant spicy and fruity aftertaste that sets on the taste buds for a long time.
With a THC level steadily standing around 20%, the effect is a perfectly balanced hybrid experience. It opens with a pleasant, smooth surge of cerebral euphoria, good mood, and mental clarity that wipes away stress and encourages talkativeness. Subsequently, it gently evolves toward a steady bodily muscle relaxation that unwinds tissues, clearing away physical fatigue without ever triggering heavy lethargy or couch-locks, proving to be an excellent versatile variety for any time of the afternoon or evening.
Strain Comparisons
- Big Devil #2 Auto vs Big Devil XL Auto: Big Devil XL introduces Jack Herer Auto genes, offering superior horizontal stretch and more marked incense notes. Big Devil #2 retains a structurally squatter and more columnar bearing, visually denser and more voluminous central commercial buds, and superior ease of cultivation for beginners.
- Big Devil #2 Auto vs Skunk Autoflowering (Strain Hunters): Skunk Auto offers heavier earthy/musky aromas and a more physical relaxation. Big Devil #2 responds with a significantly superior vertical stretch, airier and more mold-resistant buds, and a decidedly sweeter, more fruity, tropical profile.
FAQ
- Why does it grow so much compared to other autoflowers? It is the result of a meticulous agronomic selection by Sweet Seeds aimed at isolating large-scale phenotypes (Super Auto), allowing the plant to extend its vegetative phase up to 3-4 weeks before initiating automatic flowering.
- Can I top this plant? No. High stress techniques (HST) are highly discouraged on autoflowering varieties, as the plant would not have time to repair tissues. Use exclusively light LST to widen the canopy.
- How long should the root flush last? 10-12 days of water only at a balanced pH before cutting are sufficient to clear the substrate and guarantee maximum purity of the sweet and fruity flavor.
Annibale Seedshop’s Opinion
Big Devil #2 Autoflowering by Sweet Seeds is the mandatory choice for those who desire the speed of an automatic but demand the volumes and height of a photoperiod plant. Our team highly recommends it to those growing outdoors on balconies or summer guerrillas where maximum yield on the scales is sought in the shortest possible time. A proud, highly stable, and incredibly generous plant.
