Auto Maroc

Explore the ancient heritage of the planet's hottest continent with Auto Maroc! Its buds are full of sticky fragrant trichomes that leave hashish and extract producers in awe, while the plant's natural resistance and ease of cultivation will delight novice and advanced growers alike.

Characteristics

The North African landrace Ketama, indigenous to the region of the same name, has long been known for its stunning resinous flowers, making it a widely used source of high-quality Moroccan hashish. Crossing this noble strain with Auto Northern Lights has given growers worldwide the ability to grow this hybrid in almost any climate zone without losing the characteristics and productivity of its parents. Auto Maroc plants reach heights of up to 120 cm (47 inches) and have a well-developed structure with numerous lateral branches. The elongated colas are arranged so that almost the entire surface is exposed to light and well-ventilated, resisting mold even in humid climates. Its robust root system has remarkable distribution. Keep this in mind when growing indoors, and plant germinated seeds or seedlings in a large container of at least 15 liters (4 gals).

Flavor and Aroma

The strain's original terpene profile, dominated by phellandrene, humulene, ocimene and geraniol, gives it a rich aroma reminiscent of its "hashish" origin. The background of hash and damp earth is interwoven with elegant notes of flowers and meadow herbs. When smoked, the overall blend becomes more complex with added notes of oriental spices. Despite its density, the smoke is smooth and multifaceted on the inhale, evading clear definition and remaining an intriguing enigma.

Recreational and Medicinal Effects

The parent landrace Ketama is famous for its pure indica nature, so don't expect blazing sativa high from its offspring. On the contrary, Auto Maroc's gentle soothing effect allows it to be used as a relaxant for the body and mind while maintaining focus, especially when solving straightforward work tasks that require a creative touch. Consumed in the evening, you can expect to fall asleep quickly and with a little smile on your face. In addition to improving sleep, the strain is effective in alleviating pain and inflammation, treating depression, anxiety, PTSD, as well as chronic stress, and fatigue.

Cultivation

Auto Maroc thrives in a dry, warm climate similar to that of its native land. However, due to the stabilization over several generations, cultivation in northern latitudes will be no less easy and productive. The plant thrives on abundant sunlight, so for indoor cultivation the experts at KADAMA seed shop advise maintaining a light regime of no less than 20/4 throughout the entire cycle. When growing outdoors, plant your cannabis in the sunniest spot in your garden.

For proper and healthy development, seedlings need air circulation, so it's a good idea to have a quality ventilation system and a pair of oscillating fans. Equip your grow tent with a carbon filter to deal with the issue of a strong odor during flowering for which this North African lady is famous. Overall, growing Auto Maroc will not be a hassle even for the novice grower. Just remember to regularly check the condition of the plants for any negative changes and give them the attention and care they deserve.
