El Diablo Strain Overview
El Diablo is a celebrated cannabis hybrid strain with multiple genetic lineages documented by different breeders. The most commonly cited genetics include crosses of Grapefruit, Blueberry, and South African Sativa, while some phenotypes incorporate OG Kush genetics. The strain achieved recognition by winning second place at the 2002 BC Harvest Cup in the outdoor category, establishing its reputation in the cannabis community. El Diablo is characterized by dense, resinous buds that often display vibrant purple hues alongside shades of green. The buds are heavily coated with trichomes, giving them a frosty, shimmery appearance. The strain typically exhibits an indica-dominant growth pattern despite sativa influences in its genetics, producing substantial yields when properly cultivated. El Diablo is renowned for its complex flavor profile that combines sweet and spicy notes with prominent citrus undertones. Users often describe flavors of grapefruit, blueberry, and pine, complemented by earthy and hash-like undertones with hints of black pepper. The aroma is equally complex, featuring sweet, fruity scents with woodsy notes and a slightly pungent character that announces the strain's potency.

El Diablo Strain Growing Information
El Diablo is moderately challenging to cultivate and suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. The strain has an indoor flowering time of 6-8 weeks, with most phenotypes finishing around 7 weeks. Outdoor harvesting typically occurs between late September and early October. Indoor yields average 200-300 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 200 grams per plant or more. The strain grows to substantial height (6-8 feet from seed, 5-6 feet from clones) and tends to stretch significantly when put into flower. Plants benefit from topping and training techniques to manage height and improve light penetration. The strain prefers warm growing conditions but some phenotypes develop attractive purple coloration when exposed to cooler nighttime temperatures. Growers should provide adequate space as the plant likes to spread out with good branching.
