Devotchka
Devotchka
Overview
Devotchka is a flagship autoflowering cannabis strain developed by Doctor's Choice (formerly Joint Doctor Seeds), created by legendary breeder Sasha Przytyk, also known as the Joint Doctor. Named after the Nadsat/Russian word for 'girl' from Anthony Burgess's novel 'A Clockwork Orange,' this strain pays homage to Mother Russia and reflects the breeder's connections to Russian cannabis culture. The strain emerged from a carefully crafted cross between AK-47 (another Russian legend), Haze, and the original Lowryder IBL (Inbred Line), combining the autoflowering characteristics of ruderalis with the potency of sativa and indica genetics.
Devotchka displays predominantly sativa characteristics in its growth structure, developing into a vigorous plant with multiple long side branches and abundant resin production. The strain is renowned for its ease of cultivation, making it suitable for both beginners and experienced growers. Plants typically reach 70-150cm in height depending on growing conditions, with indoor plants averaging 70-100cm and outdoor plants potentially reaching up to 150cm. The buds are dense, resinous, and covered in trichomes, presenting a challenge during manicuring due to their sticky nature. This autoflowering variety completes its full lifecycle in approximately 70-80 days from seed, making it an excellent choice for those seeking quick turnaround times without compromising on quality or potency.

Growing Information
Devotchka is considered an excellent strain for beginners due to its forgiving nature and resistance to growing mistakes. This autoflowering variety completes its full cycle in 70-80 days from seed to harvest. Indoor yields range from 400-600g per square meter under a 600w light, while outdoor plants typically produce 40-70g per plant. The strain thrives in both indoor and outdoor environments, including greenhouse cultivation. Plants develop a sativa-dominant structure with multiple long side branches, requiring adequate space and potentially some training techniques like LST or SCROG for optimal yields. The strain is resilient and can withstand various growing experiments, making it ideal for those learning cultivation techniques. Regular feeding is recommended as the strain has a 'hearty appetite' for nutrients.
