Amazing Auto by Absolute Cannabis Seeds
Ruderalis × Indica × Sativa
Amazing Auto is an autoflowering hybrid strain developed by Absolute Cannabis Seeds, known for its grower-friendly characteristics and efficient life cycle. This cultivar combines ruderalis genetics for rapid, day-neutral flowering with the potency and complexity of modern indica and sativa hybrids. It is designed for speed and simplicity without sacrificing quality, making it suitable for various cultivation environments.
Appearance and Structure
Amazing Auto typically grows between 60-110 cm, featuring a dominant central cola and several productive side branches. Its structure is compact, making it suitable for smaller spaces like tents or balconies, yet it demonstrates vigor in larger pots. The plant exhibits moderately tight internodes, contributing to bud density and light penetration. Leaf coloration can range from bright green to deep forest green, with some phenotypes potentially showing anthocyanin tints under cooler conditions late in bloom. Buds are generally medium-dense to dense, characterized by a good calyx-to-leaf ratio and heavy trichome frosting.
The trichome coverage is a notable trait, with heads appearing mostly cloudy near harvest, often with 10-25% ambering depending on the timing. Pistils mature from ivory to amber-orange. The top cola often forms a spear-like shape, while lateral branches develop smaller, dense clusters. This resinous nature makes the plant suitable for various extraction methods.
Aroma and Flavor Profile
During cultivation, Amazing Auto initially presents an earthy-sweet aroma that develops spicy and citrus notes as resin production increases. Post-harvest and curing, the aroma becomes more layered, often featuring a base of warm pepper and wood notes, overlaid with a sweet, herbal core and a hint of fresh citrus peel. Cooler cures can preserve brighter citrus and herbal notes, while warmer conditions may enhance earthy and balsamic undertones.
On inhalation, the flavor profile commonly includes a smooth herbal sweetness, followed by a peppery warmth on the mid-palate. Depending on the phenotype, citrus zest or light tropical notes may be present on the exhale. The finish is typically clean, with lingering wood-spice and subtle floral hints. The mouthfeel is described as medium-bodied and pleasant.
Cannabinoid and Terpene Content
Amazing Auto typically exhibits a THC content ranging from 15% to 22%, with CBD levels below 1%. The terpene profile is complex and can vary by phenotype, but commonly includes Myrcene, Limonene, Caryophyllene, and Ocimene. These terpenes contribute to the strain's distinct aroma and flavor characteristics, influencing its overall sensory experience.
The total terpene content, when grown under optimal conditions, is generally around 1.0–2.5% by dry weight. Terpenes like Limonene and Ocimene are known for their volatility and can be sensitive to environmental conditions, emphasizing the importance of proper handling and storage to preserve the aromatic profile.
Cultivation and Growth
As an autoflowering strain, Amazing Auto completes its life cycle independently of light cycles, typically transitioning to flowering around 3-4 weeks from germination. It is known for its speed and simplicity, making it accessible for beginners while still offering satisfaction for experienced growers. The plant is well-suited for small indoor tents, balconies, or regions with short growing seasons, with a total seed-to-harvest time often falling within the 70–85 day range.
The plant adapts well to containers, growing to a manageable height of 60-110 cm. It benefits from early training to encourage lateral branching and maximize yield. Its forgiving nutrient profile and predictable structure contribute to its reputation as a grower-friendly hybrid, optimized for efficiency and tight turnaround times.
Origins and Lineage
Amazing Auto was developed by Absolute Cannabis Seeds, a European breeder recognized for creating practical, grower-friendly hybrid strains. The lineage is a blend of ruderalis, indica, and sativa genetics, a common strategy for high-performance autoflowers. Ruderalis contributes the autoflowering trait, while indica and sativa genetics influence its morphology, resin production, and overall effect profile.
While the exact parental lineage is not fully public, publicly available genealogy data suggests connections to 'Original Strains' material and potentially lines from Grow Today Genetics, such as Goku Ssj4. This tri-hybrid approach aims to combine the rapid flowering of ruderalis with the desirable traits of photoperiod hybrids, focusing on stable flowering time, internodal spacing, and resin density.
