Auto Maroc Purple

The temperament of this southern sweetheart remains delightfully unpredictable, offering a fascinating uncertainty as to its effect on a close acquaintance. The only things about her that are consistently predictable are her amazing unpretentiousness and resilience, so beginners should definitely pay attention to this enigmatic strain.

Genetics and Characteristics

The genetic background of the feminized Auto Maroc Purple is a cross between the mysterious indica called Maroc, native to the North African desert, and the sativa-dominant Purple Power, winner of the 1998 High Times Cannabis Cup. Meticulous stabilization over several generations has adapted this hybrid for cultivation in European and North American climates, and the addition of auto

flowering features at the final stage has allowed for the rapid production of aromatic buds. Due to the presence of anthocyanins in the plant's tissues, the leaves turn purple in the later stages of ripening and the buds shimmer with various shades of purple, giving Auto Maroc Purple plants a truly enchanting appearance. The strain is characterized by a high trichome production, and if you haven't considered making hash or concentrates, these buds offer the perfect opportunity.

Flavor and Aroma

Both parents of Auto Maroc Purple possess complex aromatic profiles, and their cross combines the best of the two. The flavor palette is centered on deep hashy and woody notes, with unexpected nuances of sweet fruits and flowers emerging as the buds are crushed. When smoked, the flavor veers toward a slight acidity and spiciness, but the classic tangy aftertaste, typical of purple strains, lingers on the lips long after exhalation, reminding smokers of Auto Maroc Purple's true origins.

Recreational and Medicinal Effects

The strain has a moderate THC content (up to 16%) and a well-balanced effect, making it suitable for low-tolerance users and beginners alike. The initial euphoria and cerebral stimulation give way to a gentle physical relaxation, accompanied by a deep sense of tranquility. Due to its moderate stimulating properties, Auto Maroc Purple is a sure bet for chronic fatigue and a lack of energy, as well as stress, anxiety, and depression.

Cultivation

Auto Maroc Purple plants need plenty of sunlight to maximize yield potential and bud quality. Even in regions with short summers, growers can easily grow this strain during the hottest months due to its intense maturation time – just 9-10 weeks after bucket drop. The lush colas are adaptable to high humidity and low temperatures, and are resistant to pathogens and insect attacks, making this strain an ideal candidate for inexperienced outdoor gardeners. Due to its short vegetative phase, there's no need for heavy canopy management; applying Low Stress Training (LST) in the first few weeks followed by the formation of the first 4-6 nodes is all that's needed. Auto Maroc Purple has a widely distributed root system that requires space. When growing indoors, transplant germinated seeds into a final container of at least 12 liters (3 gal).

FAQ

How tall do Auto Maroc Purple plants grow?

The strain is compact, growing to an average of 100-120 cm (39-47 in) indoors. Outdoors, it can stretch a bit higher, up to 140 cm (55 in). However, reaching these heights requires maintaining specific microclimate conditions and the recommended lighting regime.

What lighting regime is required for this strain?

Indoors, during the vegetative stage, keep the lights on 24/0 to allow the seedlings to maximize their development. When the plant transitions to the pre-flowering stage, change the light schedule to 20/4, and a few weeks before harvest, reduce to 18/6. All this combined with a slight drop in temperature will trigger the change in leaf color to purple, adding an aesthetic touch to your grow.

What are the yields of this strain?

By following all the recommendations, you can achieve a yield of 300-400 g/m² (10.6-14 oz) indoors and up to 150 g (5.3 oz) per plant outdoors.
