Auto Astarta by Mudro Seeds
Ruderalis × Indica × Sativa
Auto Astarta is an autoflowering hybrid developed by Mudro Seeds, designed for resilience and rapid, reliable harvests. It combines ruderalis genetics for automatic flowering with indica and sativa traits for a balanced chemotype and versatile effects.
Appearance
Auto Astarta typically reaches a medium height, around 60 to 100 cm indoors, often displaying a prominent central cola with several productive lateral branches. Its structure can exhibit either indica-leaning dense nodes or sativa-leaning slightly longer internodes, with buds forming dense, spear-like clusters. The plant may develop lilac to plum hues on sugar leaves and bracts under cooler night temperatures, and its pistils transition from cream to rust as harvest approaches.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Auto Astarta evolves throughout its life cycle, initially presenting floral notes with hints of citrus zest and sweet herbs. During mid-bloom, the scent deepens to include ripe stone fruit over an earthy, peppery base, with subtle pine and wood undertones. Upon drying and curing, the profile can develop into a candied orange peel character with spicy and herbal notes.
Effects
This hybrid cultivar is bred for a balanced chemotype, suggesting a well-rounded psychoactive experience. While specific effects are not detailed, the combination of indica and sativa genetics typically aims to provide both uplifting and calming sensations, suitable for various user preferences.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
The terpene profile of Auto Astarta is generally led by myrcene, beta-caryophyllene, and limonene, with contributions from pinene, linalool, and humulene. This combination supports its layered aroma and flavor. The THC content is reported at 10%, with CBD levels below 1%, placing it in the lower potency range for modern autoflowering varieties.
Growing
As an autoflowering strain, Auto Astarta initiates flowering based on age, typically around 3-4 weeks from germination, and completes its life cycle in under 12 weeks. It is noted for its resilience and tolerance to environmental variations, making it suitable for growers of all experience levels. The plant is generally forgiving with nutrient uptake and benefits from starting in its final container to maximize early root development.
Origins & Lineage
Auto Astarta was developed by Mudro Seeds, incorporating a ruderalis backbone for its autoflowering trait. Its lineage also includes indica and sativa genetics, aiming to combine the speed and hardiness of ruderalis with the yield, resin density, and cognitive effects associated with indica and sativa varieties, respectively. The breeding process focuses on stabilizing automatic flowering and maintaining chemotype consistency over several generations.
