Auto Great White Shark by Goldenseed
Great White Shark × Cannabis Ruderalis
Auto Great White Shark by Goldenseed is an autoflowering hybrid developed to offer a fast and reliable harvest. It is a reinterpretation of the classic Great White Shark, incorporating ruderalis genetics for photoperiod independence. This cultivar is known for its high resin production and balanced effects.
Appearance
Plants are typically compact and bushy, reaching heights of 60-90 cm indoors, with thick lateral branches and medium-short internodes. The leaves are broad, indicative of indica influence. Buds are dense and heavily calyxed, covered in trichomes that give them a frosty appearance. Some phenotypes may develop purple hues on sugar leaves and outer bracts under cooler temperatures late in bloom. Stems are sturdy, capable of supporting the weight of swollen buds.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma is characterized by a pronounced skunky base layered with citrus and sweet floral notes. Early in flowering, it presents as sharper and greener with hints of lemon-lime and herbs. As it matures, the scent deepens to include notes of ripe grapefruit, sweet cream, and damp earth with a peppery edge. The flavor profile on inhalation is sweet citrus over a creamy, skunky foundation, with a lemon-grapefruit taste that transitions to earthy vanilla and pepper on the exhale. A faint pine resin aftertaste may linger.
Effects
Auto Great White Shark typically produces a balanced hybrid effect, leaning towards indica with noticeable mental clarity in the initial phase. It is described as providing energetic and focused sensations. The combination of indica and sativa genetics results in a lift in mood alongside a relaxing body effect.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
This strain features a terpene profile often anchored by Myrcene and Caryophyllene, contributing a warm, forest-like base and subtle spice. Limonene adds bright citrus notes, while Humulene and Pinene can provide bittersweet hops and pine characteristics. THC levels generally range from 15-19%, with CBD content typically below 1%. The high resin production is a hallmark, correlating with its rich terpene profile.
Growing
As an autoflower, Auto Great White Shark completes its life cycle from seed to harvest in approximately 70-85 days. It is suitable for indoor cultivation, often reaching 60-100 cm in height, and can yield well for an autoflowering variety. The plants are generally robust with sturdy stems. Due to its pronounced aroma, odor control measures such as carbon filters are recommended, especially in the later stages of flowering.
Origins & Lineage
Auto Great White Shark by Goldenseed is an autoflowering version of the classic Great White Shark. Its lineage traces back to Super Skunk, with landrace influences from Brazil and South India. The autoflowering trait is introduced through the integration of Cannabis ruderalis genetics, providing photoperiod independence. This breeding combines indica and sativa characteristics with the ruderalis trait for a compact, fast-finishing plant.
