Auto Big Gun
Ruderalis × Indica × Sativa
Auto Big Gun is a hybrid cannabis strain meticulously developed by Short Stuff Seedbank in the early 2000s. It combines ruderalis, indica, and sativa genetics to create a resilient, auto-flowering plant with balanced effects. This strain is recognized for its consistent quality and appeal to both recreational and medicinal users.
Appearance
Auto Big Gun plants typically exhibit a robust structure with dense buds, often displaying vibrant green hues with subtle purple undertones, especially in cooler temperatures. The buds are notable for their significant trichome coverage, giving them a frosty appearance.

Origins & Lineage
Developed by Short Stuff Seedbank, Auto Big Gun is the result of a hybridization project aimed at integrating ruderalis, indica, and sativa genetics. The goal was to create a high-quality auto-flowering strain that offered speed, resilience, and a balanced effect profile, drawing from approximately 40% ruderalis, 30% indica, and 30% sativa heritage.
