These buds will be heavily coated in crystals and offer a mouth-watering diesel and sweet berry taste that comes in hand an uplifting creative high, great for conversing and creative activities (novices may want to watch out!).

 

“This particular lady took an incredible amount of abuse from someone who was only learning how to grow in DWC... and she really didn't care very much! There were so many times I was going to pitch her - but she kept insisting that I not give up... So that I've gotten ANY harvest out of her has earned her a very special place in my heart. I'm growing another at the moment that is doing MUCH better thanks to what I learned with this one... and I will definitely grow this strain again - I have never seen anything as loaded with trichs as this... she's been unbelievable! Trimming her up, it was easy to "feel" which buds had had the most light - they were rock hard - which tells me I need to do a little more defoliation on Bruce #2 ... I've had great fun growing this strain!”

Grow tips:

  • Make sure you have enough vertical space because this strain grows super tall!
  • Have your trim bin ready because the sugar leaves are extremely frosty.

3. Sour Jealousy Auto

Packing on thick buds with green and purple hues and bright orange pistils, these tight frosty buds can rival the heaviest Indicas. This strain packs a flavorful punch, sweet hazelnut notes followed by sharp fruity flavors, give it a mouth-watering flavor profile delivering a fully functional Sativa high while completely functional, the perfect strain for daytime and getting stuff done any users claim Pound Cake Auto helps maintain focus and is great for recreational and laborious activities. 

 

“I have not tried such a positive effect for a long time. at the same time, euphoria, joy, fun, energy and a complete sense of happiness take possession of you. I would compare its effect with the effect of Amnesia Haze. with a ratio of 70% Sativa and 30 Indica. I think it's definitely a good choice for those who like to have fun and be energetic. I think it's a great cure for depression. The effect is instantly felt after the first puffs. I never try to estimate the amount of THC in varieties. but here I’ll take a chance and say that, according to my sensation, it contains 25-30%. the smell and taste are definitely citrus sweet with a hint of hazelnuts.”

 Grow tips:

  • Be sure to give a nice long cure to bring out all the delicious terps.
  • A carbon filter is needed due to her strong smell.
  • She’s a heavy eater, so be ready to feed her frequently and be sure to flush properly to optimize the flavor profile.

6.  Amnesia Zkittlez Auto

Amnesia Zkittlez Auto is one of the best Sativa-dominant hybrids out there for hash making (highly recommend strain for making cannabis concentrates), It’s really easy to grow and delivers huge yields in only 9 - 10 weeks. Her name is a cue to how powerful she is and what can be expected, grows up to 120cm (47in), and has a THC level of 24% and <0.5% CBD. It's a good strain for growers with lots of vertical space, thanks to her Sativa heritage, and will grow bushy with long internodal spacing and fat fan leaves delivering golf ball-sized buds with an intense production of trichomes even on the fan leaves and surrounding plant material. The flavors are sweet, spicy, lemony with fruity overtones that transcend into a smooth citrusy edge.

A very powerful and enjoyable taste that will have you smiling from ear to ear out on the couch licking your lips, wanting more and more. Thanks to her THC and CBD levels it has a medical effect and is best for boosting your mood, causing heavy fuzzy eyes, and the feeling of wanting to get things done, a very cerebral effect that can be difficult to shake off (so be warned!)

So I make sure to have everything I might need just within reach. The smoke makes my mouth so parched that I can’t down anything without water. I once tried to eat a bag of chips, almost choked to death lol.”

Grow tips:

She reeks of a deliciously sweet, orange, and sour terpene combination.

Despite her Indica side, her Sativa heritage speaks louder, she will keep you on a soaring, cerebral wave that will enhance creativity, energy levels, and motivation.

 

“Orange Sherbert auto flowers was an absolute pleasure to grow. From the delicate but beautiful plant structure, to the overwhelming rush of orange and citrus terpenes every time I opened my tent. This plant did not get very large but it’s quality speaks for itself. This is 100% a top shelf luxury. The buds legitimately smell exactly like orange with subtle tones of cream. I was mind blown. The effects are hard hitting and very sedative; perfect for insomnia and stress. The taste is gassy and sweet with orange, cream and citrus flavour profiles. Super dense and sticky nugs leaving your fingers smelling great all day long! Love this strain!”

Grow tips:

  • Make sure to support the branches during flowering due to the size of the buds.
  • Due to the delicious terpene profile, it’s an excellent choice of hash makers.
  • It’s highly recommended to perform LST to allow the lower flowering sites to develop properly.

A wonderful flower to start the day with, enjoy socially with friends, long walks in nature, sunny days at the beach, and enhance your inner creativity. She is a truly tasty strain that anyone would enjoy, with hints of ripe papaya, sweet cookie dough, and tropical flavors that will keep your taste buds guessing after every puff.

 

“Papaya Cookies is sooooo strong - yet she is still not a Couch Lock Strain. She got me flying high for hours the first time I tried her and ever since she is the strain I turn to when I need an extra boost in THC. I love the Fruity Terpenes and how rock hard her Nuggets get. On top of that she is incredibly frosty and has an amazing bag appeal…”

Grow tips:

  • She loves frequent watering and can take a heavy nutrient solution with no issues at all.
  • We recommend LST in the first 4 weeks and pruning the lower parts of the plant before blooming begins, this will increase the amount of energy the plants used on its top buds, and ensure that there will be no unwanted popcorn buds forming.
  • Remember to provide support for the large buds and prevent them from falling over with the excess weight.

9.  Forbidden Runtz Auto

Our Forbidden Runtz Auto is our take on the two Cali strains, Forbidden Fruit and Runtz. Thanks to her heritage she performs very well in the cold and can achieve outstanding results in hot climates. Despite her short life span of around 9 weeks, she delivers THC levels up to 26%  and can yield up to 550 gr/m2 (1.6lb). It’s a perfect representation of an Indica-dominant hybrid in all aspects, a medium-size strain that will grow between 90-130cm (35-51in) and will grow multiple side branches with short internodal spaces and beautiful buds covered in trichomes. At the flowering stage reeks of a unique combination of fruity, spicy, citrusy, and sweet flavors.

“They already smell fantastic, like sweet and tart candy. looking forward to the smoke .”

Grow tips: 

  • This variety grows very well without any form of training but it’s recommended to perform LST technique to space out the canopy and get even better yields. 
  • Flush for at least 7 days to wash the excess nutrients from the medium and get even better flavors.

10.  Apple Strudel Auto

The Apple Strudel Auto is a modern legend with an insane resin profile, making it one of the most flavorful strains in the last few years. This strain will produce incredible results outdoors and can withstand hot and cold weather with ease. Grows between 80-120cm (31-47in) with up to 29% THC she will produce one main cola with side branches growing out and tall as she fills with silver-coated, large-sized nugs in 9 - 10 weeks can yield up to 550 gr/m2 (1.8oz/ft2).

 

 

She gets covered in trichomes from top to bottom, with a dark green hue and maroon brown pistils even can take on purple hues as she gets close to her harvest date, revealing her true beauty even further. The effects are uplifting and clear-minded, she will keep all systems going, perfect for smoking when you’re busy, keeping sharp and alert. Her high is not too racy and will transcend into a relaxing state the more you smoke with a spicy, earthy, and sweet flavor, delivering a particular taste that the old-school generation will love.

 

“Smoke report on these is taste is super smooth with hints of a creaminess. The flowers came out with either shades of purple on them or covered in red, but both density and taste the same. Sticky would be a highly understatement as they are almost sappy. I did find multiple spots where sugers have seeped out the flowers leaving a sap. Over all definitely recommended if your an indica lover it's not to couch lock but enough to know your relaxed. All 3 plants came out to a dry weight of an astonishing 270g or a little over 9 and half ounces. So an average of 3 ounces a plant I'd put it more on the heavy yielding strains. For sure a fun one from sprout to harvest I'd recommend to any level of grower. Happy Growing”

Grow tips:

  • Highly recommended for beginner growers new to autoflowers, this is a sturdy reliable strain that can be left to grow with very little maintenance.
  • She also performs incredibly well when grown in a Sea of Green.

11. In Conclusion

No matter where you live, if you’re looking to start your next grow cycle with the right foot, autoflowers are the right way to go. As you may know, autoflowers are bred from the Ruderalis subspecies of cannabis which originates from very harsh climates so they inherit certain characteristics such as the autoflowering trait but also a higher resiliency to less-than-ideal conditions.

Because of this, most autoflowering strains are an excellent option for outdoor growers dealing with both hotter and colder climates but there are certain autoflowering genetics that will thrive in hotter climates due to their inheritance. In cases like this, Sativa-dominant hybrid autoflowers are the way to go as they originate from places with tropical climates such as Jamaica, Mexico, and Brazil so they can withstand higher temperatures and humidities with ease.

 

These strains will perform extremely well in hot climates, you can’t go wrong with any of them indoors or outdoors!
