When growing cannabis outdoors you have to work with what you have, and sometimes, what you have is a very hot climate. That's not what every strain of weed likes, so, it's important to choose one that can withstand higher temperatures. Generally speaking, you should go for Sativa-dominant hybrids, as they originate in hotter climates, but if you’re still struggling to decide what to grow next, we've done the homework for you. This article will help you choose an autoflower with high resistance to hot and slightly dry climates for your 2024 grow cycle.

Six Shooter Auto

Six Shooter Auto is an old-school legend with an insane resin profile, making her one of our classic strains. This plant yields incredibly well outdoors and can withstand hot weather with ease. This 23%-THC powerhouse produces multiple large colas, and everything gets covered in silvery trichomes as she gets close to her harvest date.

 

 

 

The effects of Six Shooter Auto are uplifting and clear-headed, with all systems going – perfect for smoking when you’re busy, as they keep your mind sharp and alert. Though euphoric, the high isn't too racy and will transcend into a relaxed state the more you smoke. The piney, floral, and woody notes blend into a particular taste that the old-school generation will love.

Wedding Cheesecake Auto

A perfect cross between two extremely powerful and aromatic strains, Wedding Cheesecake Auto is a Sativa-dominant hybrid but with a hefty infusion of Indica genetics. She easily adapts to harsher climates and can withstand long dry periods thanks to her strong resistance.

 

 

This autoflower grows tall, producing one main cola but with long enough side branches. Her buds are very large and dense and encrusted in crystals, giving her a very sticky feel. The smoke offers an extremely earthy, vanilla, and sweet taste with a gassy edge. It's an excellent choice for socializing, as the effects are upbeat and joyful, with a nice sense of clarity and creativity.

 

“the result was as always worthy of Fast buds both in product quality and quantity! I managed to wring 334 grams of wet-tanned buds out of this beautiful lady, I removed every type of leaf is completely clean! So I can use the sugar leaves to make good hash! The smells of the plant are really very strong compared to the other two previously grown…”

Pound Cake Auto

Pound Cake Auto is a predominantly Sativa strain with a THC content of up to 28% – enough to get you flying through the clouds. She's our take on a famous genetics, successfully recapturing all its magic but in an autoflowering form. Easy to grow and adaptable to almost all grow setups, including those that are too small and consequently run too hot, Pound Cake Auto lives up to her Sativa lineage, yielding up to 600 gr/m2 (2oz/ft2). She produces a tall main cola with impressive side branches to match.

 

 

The thick but tight and frosty buds with green and purple hues and bright orange pistils rival the heaviest-yielding Indicas. This strain packs a flavorful punch, starting with sweet hazelnut notes and followed by sharp fruity flavors. The classic Sativa high is fully functional – a perfect option for daytime use and getting stuff done. Many users claim Pound Cake Auto helps them maintain focus and is great for both work and leisure. 

 

“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.”

Sour Jealousy Auto

Sour Jealousy Auto is a 75% Sativa autoflower recommended to growers living in hot climates, where she can really take off, get tall, and produce huge yields. In fact, she's one of the tallest autoflowers available (reaching up to 5 ft, or 150 cm), has large internodal spaces, and forms huge flowers, which glisten with trichomes and throw out bright-orange hairy pistils.

 

 

The smoke is a truly unique blend of sour and floral notes on the inhale, which turn into a deeper, diesel-dominant flavor on the exhale. With 29% THC, Sour Jealousy Auto delivers a soaring, cerebral, roller-coaster type of high that stimulates all senses. You'll feel focused and highly motivated at first and later transition into a relaxed state, perfect for reading, writing, playing games, or just hanging out at home with friends.

 

“Sour Jealousy is an amazing Sativa. She keeps me going during the day and is also great to go out and Party. I love the super Sour Terps that pucker up my mouth and how huge she gets. If you are searching for a modern Sativa with great yields, effects and a unique taste: She is your girl.”

Papaya Cookies Auto

This 60-40 Sativa-dominant hybrid takes hot conditions in stride, just like her tropical-sounding name suggests. She will grow at a fast pace and finish in a record-breaking 8-9 weeks, with a bushy profile, thin branches, and long and slender leaves – in short, a textbook Sativa. You'd think Papaya Cookies Auto's 29% THC would make your knees weak, but the effects, though powerful, are actually upbeat and energetic. The physical sensations are quite light but complement the cerebral buzz nicely.

 

 

It's a wonderful smoke to start the day with, enjoy social interactions, especially with close friends, take long walks in nature, spend a day at the beach, and wake up your dormant creativity. Papaya Cookies Auto is a truly tasty strain that anyone would enjoy. The smoke has 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…”

Forbidden Runtz Auto

Forbidden Runtz Auto is our very successful attempt at mixing two great Cali genetics – Forbidden Fruit and Runtz. Thanks to this heritage, the strain performs very well in cold conditions, but it's the hot climates where she truly shines. She’s a perfect representation of an Indica-dominant hybrid in all aspects – a medium-size plant with multiple side branches, short internodal spaces, and beautiful trichome-laden buds. During the flowering stage, she emits a unique combination of fruity, spicy, citrusy, and sweet aromas.

 

 

The effects of Forbidden Runtz Auto are very pleasant and allow you to quickly relax after a long day of work, while maintaining a focused and alert mindset. The smoke is equally great for waking up, clearing your head, and getting through a long day stress-free.

 

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

Orange Sherbet Auto

Orange Sherbet Auto is an easy-to-grow and hardy plant, which growers of all levels will appreciate, especially those who struggle to bring down the heat in their grow room. The yields of up to 650gr/m2 of large-sized nugs make her one of the most generous autoflowers out there. 

 

 

The finished buds have a pungent aroma that is a combination of deliciously sweet and sour terpenes reminiscent of oranges. This frosty hybrid is an excellent choice for commercial growers, hash makers, and extractors, as the resin packs up to 26% THC. Despite a notable Indica presence, her Sativa heritage speaks louder – the smoke will keep you on a soaring, cerebral wave that will enhance creativity, energy, 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!”

Bruce Banner Auto

Bruce Banner Auto boasts improved growth patterns, strong effects, delicious aromas, and a THC level of 25%. Being a mostly Sativa hybrid, Bruce Banner Auto loves sun, so, if you can give her 20 hrs of light a day, go for it, and she will deliver accordingly.

 

 

 

The tightly-packed flowers get heavily coated in crystals and offer a mouth-watering diesel and sweet berry taste that comes hand in hand with an uplifting, inspiring high, great for conversing and creative activities. However, novices, should tread lightly – smoke too much, and instead of a cerebral boost, you may feel a desire to lie down and close your eyes.

 

“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!”

Amnesia Zkittlez Auto

Amnesia Zkittlez Auto is a strain for growers with lots of vertical space, as she'll stretch for the light and if they generate a lot of heat, she will show enough resistance to heat stress. Her golf-ball-sized, sticky buds (with frost even on the fan leaves) exude sweet, spicy, and lemony aromas with fruity overtones that transcend into a smooth citrusy edge when smoked.

 

 

Amnesia Zkittlez Auto is one of the best Sativa-dominant hybrids out there for making hash and concentrates. Her name is a cue to how powerful she is and what can be expected from a THC level of 24%. The smoke also has a medical value and is best for boosting your mood and giving you enough energy to get things done. It's a very cerebral high that can be difficult to shake off (so be warned). This medicine is recommended for patients with a very high tolerance as well as heavy recreational users.

Strawberry Gorilla Auto

With Strawberry Gorilla Auto, we managed to enhance all those traits that make her parent plants so popular, resulting in a super reliable cultivar that grows incredibly well in all types of climates and is highly resilient and very easy to grow.

 

 

Strawberry Gorilla Auto flowers ooze with resin, whose flavor can be described as a delicious blend of strawberries, earth, and overall sweetness. This smoke will immediately relax you, boosting your creativity at the same time, making it a great choice for nights out. Be warned, though – smoking too much can leave you in a dream state that can last for hours!

“It’s a very strong sativa smoke that makes me super pumped and extatic and a bit trippy to the point that I imagine I can hear sounds. Besides everything becomes so colorful and crystal clear and the air seems liquid somehow. I love smoking it in the early afternoon.”

In Conclusion
