Auto Alpujarreaa
Ruderalis × Indica × Sativa
Auto Alpujarreña, developed by Pyramid Seeds, is an indica-dominant hybrid designed to honor the rich heritage of Spanish cannabis. It combines ruderalis, indica, and sativa genetics for a resilient and adaptable plant. This strain offers a balanced experience, making it suitable for various needs.
Appearance
The buds of Auto Alpujarreña are typically dense and covered in a generous layer of trichomes, giving them a sparkling appearance. They often display a mix of deep greens with hints of purple, and are punctuated by vibrant orange and red pistils. The leaves exhibit strong serrated edges, characteristic of indica-dominant varieties.
The plant structure averages between 80 to 120 centimeters in height. Despite its auto-flowering nature leading to a more compact form, the buds are known for their high resin production and can sometimes exceed 5 centimeters in diameter.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Auto Alpujarreña is complex, often described as an earthy foundation with notes of citrus and spice, and a subtle sweetness reminiscent of pine. Breaking open the buds releases a rich, forest-like musk mixed with herbal notes, and secondary aromas of lemon zest and incense.
The flavor profile mirrors the aroma, offering a gentle wave of citrus complemented by a soft earthiness on the exhale. The taste is generally mid-range in intensity, with a smooth, mildly spicy finish that leaves a pleasant impression.
Effects
Auto Alpujarreña provides a balanced experience with both cerebral and corporeal effects. The high THC content contributes to a robust euphoric spark, while the hybrid genetics offer a blend of uplifting sensations and soothing body effects.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
Laboratory analyses indicate that Auto Alpujarreña typically contains THC levels ranging between 15% and 20%, with some phenotypes potentially reaching higher concentrations. CBD levels are generally found to be below 1%.
Key terpenes identified in this strain include Myrcene, Limonene, Caryophyllene, and Pinene, which contribute to its distinct aroma and flavor profile.
Growing
Auto Alpujarreña is known for its adaptability and vigor, partly due to its ruderalis ancestry which provides auto-flowering characteristics and stress tolerance. It is considered reliable even in sub-optimal conditions and resistant to harsh climates.
