Auto Somango

If you have an appreciation for extravagant genetics and superior quality cannabis, Auto Somango should definitely find its place on your "definitely-to-grow" list. Its amazing resilience, unique flavor profile, and well-balanced effects merge into an intriguing mix of sensations that allow you to savor every moment of the exciting journey from planting the seed to enjoying the final result.

Genetics and Characteristics

Created by crossing Big Skunk Korean, Jack Herer, and Eastern European ruderalis, Auto Somango has inherited the best qualities of its parents, making it a popular choice among growers worldwide. Auto Somango has a moderate THC content (13-16%) and is relatively easy to grow. This is why beginners can confidently choose this feminized indica-dominant hybrid. These compact plants, reaching up to 110 cm (ca. 43 inches) tall, fit easily into modest grow tents and respond well to low stress training (LST), increasing yield and product quality. Indoors this strain can produce 400-450 g/m² (14-16 oz) while outdoor yields range between 50-80 g (1.8-2.8 oz) per plant.

Flavor and Aroma

When you first touch the buds of Auto Somango, you'll be enveloped in an exquisite aroma that combines notes of ripe mango, pineapple, and peach. However, the climax of this exotic fairy tale awaits when the smooth and incredibly mellow smoke suddenly reveals hints of spices and pungent aromas that will take you to a bustling Eastern bazaar.

Recreational and Medicinal Use

Auto Somango is a perfect choice for those seeking a gentle, moderate effect that allows you to maintain clarity of thought and functionality, and is suitable for beginners with low THC tolerance. This strain provides a sense of relaxation that spreads throughout the body, relieving tension and stress, while your mind drifts into a state of mild euphoria, filling you with pleasure and creative inspiration. This strain holds a powerful therapeutic potential due to its balanced terpene profile. Its soothing and analgesic properties help relieve pain and inflammation, as well as reduce stress, anxiety, and depression.

Cultivation

Whether you prefer soil or hydroponics, indoor or outdoor, Auto Somango can handle it all. This strain shows remarkable adaptability to the growing environment, satisfying both novice growers who plant it in their backyards and experienced professionals who use LST, SoG, automatic drip systems and adjustable spectrum lighting to achieve excellent yields. While it adapts well to a cool, humid climate, Auto Somango still requires extra attention, especially during the flowering period when dense colas become susceptible to mold.

When growing indoors, pay special attention to air circulation in the grow room, which, combined with oscillating fans, will help the plants develop a strong, bushy structure. Timely watering and balanced feeding are essential for the full development of the strain, but don't overdo the dosage! Start with 1/4 of the manufacturer's recommended amount and gradually increase nutrient levels as the plant grows. Monitor pH and ppm (EC) levels! During vegetative growth, the plants need plenty of nitrogen, while during the flowering stage the focus should shift to phosphorus and potassium. Like any autoflowering strain, Auto Somango is sensitive to stress, so plant seedlings directly into their permanent indoor or outdoor locations, avoiding multiple transplanting.

FAQ

How long does it take for Auto Somango to complete the cycle?

The strain has a fast and vigorous growth cycle, completing it in just 8-9 weeks.

What lighting regime does the strain require?

Outdoors, try to plant seedlings in a location that is exposed to direct sunlight for at least 10 hours per day. Indoors, it's easier to control the lighting regime, so maintain a continuous 24-hour light regime during the vegetative stage and switch to 20/4 at the pre-flowering stage.

What training techniques are suitable for this strain?

LST and moderate defoliation are sufficient to maintain manageable canopy development. Experienced growers may consider using ScrOG or SoG.
