Top 5 Best autoflower seeds to grow in California
1. Gorilla Glue Auto
2. Girl Scout Cookies Auto
3. Blue Dream Auto
4. Bruce Banner Auto
5. Gelato Auto
1. Gorilla Glue Auto
Gorilla Glue Auto is a hybrid strain that induces high euphoria and relaxation, leaving your feelings locked to the couch. Her flowers, covered in sticky resin, will fill the grow room with the aroma of sour pine inherited from her parents, the Chem's Sisters, Sour Dubb and Chocolate Diesel. We used a clone of these champions and taking inspiration from them, created this autoflowering Sativa / Indica hybrid.
Growing
Growing this strain is very easy and does not require special attention, but if you treat her well, she will thank you with her incredible productivity. She produces so much resin that you won't know where to start cutting!
The most important thing is not to stress the Gorilla Glue to develop its full potential. We recommend using pots of up to 50 liters outdoors to get the most from your grow.
Effects, taste and odor
This strain has a strong pine flavor, with a lemony aroma that will leave a pleasant fruity taste in your mouth. It also has chemical nuances and a fragrance close to diesel.
Gorilla Glue is one of our more potent strains. Completely covered in trichomes, her effect is most desirable: a very happy and pleasant high, extremely positive. Those of you who are looking for relaxation with euphoric sensations and feelings of physical heaviness will be satisfied with this Sativa / Indica mix. The high gradually increases, culminating in a sort of brainstorm.
2. Girl Scout Cookies Auto
Girl Scout Cookies Autoflower can't wait to grow, but just like with baking, you have to take your time to achieve this chocolate mint treat. GSC stands out as one of the best and most exotic strains of recent years, a true masterpiece that thrives in rich California soil
Growing
As GSC Auto grows in height, its leaves unfold like sails, exposing a reddish-orange color. Little by little, it will be covered with shiny white trichomes like a real gem. This variety does not require a lot of care because the Ruderalis genetics give it good stability. However, for optimal development, we recommend increasing your nutrient intake from usual. The plants will respond well and then exhibit greater floral growth.
Effects, taste and odor
A very sugary variety adored by all gourmets who have a soft spot for sweet things! Its superb, smooth taste with earthy undertones has quickly become a favorite in many states. A fairly accurate representation of the "real" OG flavor.
Girl Scout Cookies is a reasonably modern strain that quickly became a cultural phenomenon. The effect is very powerful on a mental and physical level. It is recommended for social smokers, as it promotes good mood and joy and increases creativity. The therapeutic use of GSC is recommended to treat chronic pain, neuropathic, muscle spasms and premenstrual syndromes.
3. Blue Dream Auto
Blue Dream Auto is a great strain that is the perfect combination of Sativa, Indica and Ruderalis. This strain will enchant you with its beauty and graceful lavender and purple flowers. Flowering takes approximately 56 days and expects a yield of up to 450 grams per m/2. The THC content of 13% makes for a strong high.
Growing
Blue Dream Auto is an autoflowering cannabis strain that delivers good yields despite its relatively low growth. Thanks to the abundance and elegance of its side branches and its incomparable color, it is also beautiful to look at.
Effects, taste and odor
Blue Dream Auto is a strain that has inherited the taste and aromatic properties of its parents and is sure to delight you with its delicious, floral, berry aroma. Their incredible and long-lasting powerful effects create clear awareness and a positive mood.
4. Bruce Banner Auto
Named after the massive Green Man himself, Bruce Banner is the alter-ego of an often angry and powerful comic book superhero - but unlike the Hulk, this cannabis strain will not cause adrenaline to flow violently through your veins.
Growing
You can grow Bruce Banner strain of marijuana indoors or outside, but with a major difference in the yield produced by the various methods. If you intend to grow your Bruce Banner plant in an indoor garden under a tent, then an air-cooled lamp will help keep temperature and humidity within the optimum growing range.
For those intending to plant this strain outdoors, remember that Bruce Banner thrives in a hot, dry climate, with temperatures between 18 and 26 degrees. It is recommended that when planting outside, get a dry location away from the fall rains.
Effects, taste and odor
Bruce Banner Auto has sweet, citrus and earthy aromas. The trip is relaxing and potent, with Sativa-dominant genes (60:40 Sativa / Indica ratio) delivering a massive dose of THC: almost 29% in some tests. It provides a euphoric effect, combined with intense creativity and a generally good mood. Bruce Banner is a very effective pain reliever, but it's also good for anxiety, depression, nausea and insomnia.
5. Gelato Auto
Gelato Auto induces love after the first hit. Gelato Auto descends from the now-famous Gelato, and this hybrid consists of a slightly higher proportion of Sativa genetics.
Growing
Gelato Auto thrives outside in a warm, dry climate, and you should be able to harvest several crops in California. Towards the end of her flowering period, she will show beautiful buds covered under a layer of THC crystals.
Effects, taste and odor
As far as taste is concerned, you can safely keep this cannabis strain for dessert—a sweet, cookie-like taste with a sharp, sour edge and natural undertones. Novice smokers can already experience a true couch-lock after a few hits, as this weed is robust, so build up smoking slowly and smoke in moderation.
