Auto 00 Kush by 00 Seeds Bank
Kush × Ruderalis
Auto 00 Kush is an autoflowering hybrid from 00 Seeds Bank, blending classic Kush characteristics with ruderalis genetics for convenient cultivation. This indica-dominant strain is designed for ease of growth and provides a comforting experience.
Appearance and Morphology
This strain typically grows in a compact, bushy structure with a prominent main cola and dense, uniformly shaped buds. Its indica heritage is evident in the short internodal spacing and broad leaves, making it suitable for smaller cultivation spaces. Mature flowers are noted for their rich trichome coverage and cream to tangerine pistils.
Plants generally reach a manageable height, often between 60-110 cm indoors, though outdoor growth may be slightly taller in favorable conditions. The dense flowers and frosted appearance are characteristic of its resinous nature.
Aroma and Flavor
The aroma profile is reminiscent of classic Kush strains, featuring earthy, piney notes with a subtle herbal sweetness. When cured, hints of gassy undertones and peppery warmth emerge, complemented by a touch of lemon zest. The flavor on the inhale often presents an earthy-pine base with herbal sweetness and a peppery finish, while the exhale can reveal lemon zest and woodsy resin.
Compared to sweeter varieties, Auto 00 Kush offers a more traditional, savory profile. Its aroma and flavor are described as natural and restrained, evoking forest floor and resinous wood rather than confectionary notes, making it appealing to those who prefer a classic sensory experience.
Effects
Auto 00 Kush is generally characterized as an indica-leaning hybrid that promotes relaxation and calm. While primarily indica-dominant, it can offer a sativa-like lift during the initial onset, leading to a friendly and upbeat feeling before settling into a more sedating state. This makes it suitable for evening unwinding.
The strain is often sought after for its potential to alleviate stress. Its effects are described as balancing, providing a sense of calm while allowing for a degree of focus, making it a versatile option for relaxation without complete incapacitation.
Terpenes and Cannabinoids
While specific lab data for Auto 00 Kush can be limited, its terpene profile is expected to emphasize myrcene, beta-caryophyllene, and limonene, aligning with its Kush ancestry. Secondary terpenes like pinene and humulene may also be present. These contribute to the strain's earthy, piney, and citrus notes.
THC levels are reported to be in the range of 20-25%, placing it within the higher potency spectrum for modern autoflowering varieties. CBD content is typically less than 1%. The overall chemotype is tuned for aroma and flavor, with total terpene levels often competitive with elite autoflowers.
Growing
As an autoflower, Auto 00 Kush transitions from seed to harvest automatically, without requiring a change in light cycle, making it accessible for novice growers and efficient for experienced cultivators. It is known for its compact and resinous plant structure.
The strain is adaptable to various cultivation setups, including small indoor tents and outdoor locations. Its autoflowering nature allows for rapid cycles, and while generally low-maintenance, growers may employ gentle training techniques to optimize bud production.
Origins and Lineage
Auto 00 Kush was developed by 00 Seeds Bank, a Spanish breeder. It was created by crossing a photoperiod Kush selection with a ruderalis strain to incorporate the autoflowering trait.
The breeding objective was to combine the classic, soothing qualities of Kush with the convenience and speed of an autoflower. The resulting hybrid has a genetic foundation described as ruderalis/indica/sativa, leaning towards indica characteristics while retaining some sativa influence and the autonomous flowering of ruderalis.
