Appearance
This autoflowering variety typically develops into a compact, bushy plant reaching heights of 60-100 cm indoors. It features short to medium internodal spacing, creating a tidy structure.

Anthocyanins may occasionally present as faint lilac tints, particularly under cooler temperatures.
The finished buds often form dense, conical shapes with minimal foxtailing, even under suboptimal conditions. When properly cured, the buds exhibit a clean, shimmering look that preserves their aromatic qualities.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma profile is characterized by a vibrant blend of sweet mango and zesty citrus, underpinned by a subtle Skunk influence. Initial scents upon opening a container may include orange and green mango, complemented by piney freshness. Grinding the buds can reveal deeper notes of pepper and earthiness.
On the palate, Auto Green Crack delivers flavors reminiscent of fresh citrus and mango candy. Initial tastes are often dominated by limonene, followed by ripe fruit notes associated with myrcene and the resinous quality of pinene. The finish can include a light peppery sensation from caryophyllene.

Growing

The plant's compact and bushy structure is well-suited for smaller spaces like grow tents or balconies.
The flowering period from seed to harvest is typically around 9-11 weeks. Growers can expect a reliable yield from this hardy cultivar, which is designed for ease of cultivation and consistent results.
Origins & Lineage
Auto Green Crack is an autoflowering variant derived from the well-known Green Crack strain. The original Green Crack is a hybrid with lineage often tied to Skunk #1 and an Afghani indica, known for its sativa-like stimulating effects. This autoflowering version was developed by crossing Green Crack with Cannabis ruderalis to introduce the age-triggered flowering trait.
Subsequent breeding efforts, including backcrossing to Green Crack, focused on preserving the original's characteristic flavor and potency while enhancing speed and hardiness. This process results in a hybrid that retains the desirable traits of Green Crack in a faster, more manageable autoflowering package.
