Auto Blueberry by Mallorca Seeds
Blueberry × Ruderalis
Auto Blueberry from Mallorca Seeds is an indica-dominant autoflowering strain. It combines the renowned genetics of Blueberry with the rapid, day-neutral flowering of ruderalis, making it easier to cultivate. This variety is recognized for its distinct berry aroma and flavor profile.
Appearance
Auto Blueberry plants typically grow to a compact to medium height, often ranging from 50-90 cm indoors and 60-120 cm outdoors. They exhibit broad, dark green leaves characteristic of indica genetics. Some phenotypes may display purple hues in their bracts and sugar leaves, especially under cooler night temperatures, adding to their visual appeal.
Buds tend to be dense and well-formed, with significant trichome coverage that gives them a frosty appearance. The plant's structure is generally bushy, with moderate internodal spacing that supports multiple bud sites.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Auto Blueberry is dominated by sweet blueberry notes, layered over creamy and subtly earthy or spicy undertones. Upon curing, the scent can become richer, reminiscent of blueberry compote. This profile is often enhanced in the final weeks of flowering as terpene production peaks.
Flavors closely mirror the aroma, featuring prominent sweet blueberry and jam-like notes, often accompanied by creamy or vanilla-like undertones and a hint of spice. Vaporization can highlight berry and citrus notes at lower temperatures, transitioning to deeper, sweeter flavors as temperature increases.
Effects
Auto Blueberry is known for providing calming effects, contributing to a relaxed state. While specific potency can vary, its indica heritage suggests a predominantly relaxing experience.
The strain is often associated with effects that may help alleviate feelings of anxiety and stress, promoting a sense of tranquility.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
This strain typically contains 14-20% THC and less than 1% CBD. The terpene profile is often noted to be rich in caryophyllene, limonene, linalool, and beta-myrcene. These compounds contribute to the strain's characteristic sweet, citrus, floral, and spicy aromatic and flavor notes.
Growing
Auto Blueberry is considered relatively easy to grow, thanks to its autoflowering nature and ruderalis influence, which makes it resilient and less sensitive to light cycles. It flowers automatically, typically completing its lifecycle in 70-85 days from seed. The compact size makes it suitable for smaller spaces like balconies.
The strain benefits from good airflow and humidity control, especially during the dense flowering stage. While generally hardy, optimal growth depends on adequate light, healthy roots, and a balanced nutrient regimen.
Origins & Lineage
Auto Blueberry originates from the classic Blueberry line, widely attributed to breeder DJ Short and known for winning awards in the early 2000s. To create the autoflowering version, breeders crossed the original Blueberry with Cannabis ruderalis genetics. Mallorca Seeds specifically selected for ruderalis and indica traits to develop this auto-flowering variant.
The lineage combines the indica-heavy characteristics of Blueberry, traditionally a blend of Afghani and Thai genetics, with the day-neutral flowering and hardiness of ruderalis. This cross results in a strain that flowers independently of light schedules while retaining the desirable traits of the original Blueberry.
