Auto Watermelon

Auto Watermelon is a feminized indica-dominant autoflowering strain with high THC (up to 20%) and moderate CBD (up to 1%) content. Created by crossing two legendary strains, Tropicana Cookies and Lemon OG, Auto Watermelon has not only inherited the best qualities of its famous parents, but has enhanced them to expand the range of experiences offered by the modern cannabis plant.

Characteristics

Auto Watermelon is destined for great success in the cannabis community due to its unique terpene profile, which combined with its powerful relaxing effects can impress even the most sophisticated smoker. Its ease of cultivation and stable genetics make it a perfect choice for novice growers, while its high yield and short maturation time will please gardeners of all skill levels. These autoflowering seeds grow into lush, moderately bushy plants that reach a height of 80-110 cm (31.5-43 inches). They have a compact structure with a sturdy central cola covered in dense lime-green buds accented by fiery stigmas and framed by purple fan leaves. The remarkably high trichome yield, coupled with the captivating sensory spectrum, allows the production of high-quality extracts, hashish, and edibles.

Flavor and Aroma

Auto Watermelon's wide range of terpenes gives it an unparalleled aroma, comparable in richness and complexity to an exquisite perfume. Its extravagant watermelon and fruity base is complemented by refreshingly bold citrus notes, while earthy and herbal undertones add a special zest to the overall composition. Slightly tangy and dense smoke maintains the intensity of the aroma on exhalation.

Recreational and Medicinal Use

The combination of high THC and moderate CBD, resulting in an "entourage effect", gives this strain a strong indica influence that brings even experienced users to a state of deep relaxation with pronounced mental sedation. A mild body buzz promotes muscle relaxation, relieves pain and reduces inflammation, while a pleasant drowsiness on the comedown combats insomnia. Auto Watermelon is also highly effective in treating a range of psychoemotional disorders and alleviating the effects of chronic stress.

Cultivation

Auto Watermelon is undemanding and will only fail if basic growing principles are not followed. Due to its short life cycle, the strain is sensitive to transplanting. So, germinate the seed with the wet method using a damp sponge or paper towel and place it directly into a Jiffy peat pellet or rockwool cube to avoid stress when moving the seedling to its final location. To maintain a compact profile and maximize yields, use Low Stress Training (LST) and SoG/ScrOG techniques. Advanced growers can achieve maximum yields with hydroponic or aeroponic systems, which require strict control of pH and ppm (EC) readings, as well as a precise balance of nutrients. KADAMA experts recommend using only organic fertilizers and boosters, as this approach has a positive effect on the aromatic and flavor qualities of the final product.

Outdoors, Auto Watermelon thrives in a warm, dry climate with plenty of sunlight. When growing indoors, maintain optimal lighting conditions at a 20/4 schedule throughout the cycle. Ensure a constant flow of fresh air with fans, which will contribute to the plant's stability and help prevent mold formation during the flowering stage.
