Auto Blue by Seedmakers Seeds
Ruderalis × Blueberry
Auto Blue is an autoflowering hybrid developed by Seedmakers Seeds, designed to capture the essence of classic "blue" cannabis lines. It combines ruderalis genetics with indica-leaning Blue varieties, resulting in a fast-finishing plant that does not require light cycle manipulation to flower. This strain is recognized for its appealing aroma, visual characteristics, and manageable effects.
Appearance
Auto Blue plants typically grow between 60-100 cm indoors and 80-120 cm outdoors. They develop a central cola with several secondary branches, often exhibiting a predisposition for anthocyanin production. In the later stages of flowering, particularly with cooler nighttime temperatures, sugar leaves and calyx tips can display shades ranging from olive to deep violet. The buds are generally medium-dense to dense, covered in a visible layer of trichomes by maturity.
Aroma & Flavor
This strain is known for its prominent berry and blueberry aroma, often described as reminiscent of blueberry jam. The flavor profile frequently includes sweet notes, with some phenotypes also expressing hints of candy, citrus, cream, floral, and even diesel undertones. The overall sensory experience is often characterized by its fruity and sweet bouquet.
Effects
Auto Blue is reported to produce a calming and euphoric effect profile. It is often sought after for its ability to induce a sense of relaxation and well-being without being overly sedating. The strain is generally considered approachable and manageable, making it suitable for various users.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
With THC levels around 20% and CBD below 1%, Auto Blue is considered a moderately potent strain. While specific terpene profiles can vary, common terpenes associated with this cultivar include Myrcene, Limonene, Caryophyllene, Linalool, Pinene, and Ocimene. These compounds contribute to the strain's distinct aroma, flavor, and potential effects.
Growing
As an autoflower, Auto Blue transitions from seedling to harvest without requiring changes to light schedules, typically finishing in 70-85 days from seed. It is generally considered resilient and tolerant of beginner errors, making it a suitable choice for novice growers. The plant's compact size and manageable growth habit also make it well-suited for smaller cultivation spaces or environments with limited seasons. Average indoor yields are estimated between 350-500 g/m².
Origins & Lineage
Auto Blue is an autoflowering hybrid created by Seedmakers Seeds, derived from crossing ruderalis genetics with indica-leaning Blueberry varieties. The breeder's goal was to replicate the characteristic berry aroma and soothing effects of traditional Blue strains in a convenient, day-neutral format. This lineage results in a plant that combines the vigor of ruderalis with the desirable traits of classic indica-dominant hybrids.
