Auto Haze by Linda Seeds
Ruderalis × Haze
Auto Haze by Linda Seeds is an autoflowering hybrid that combines the energetic qualities of Haze genetics with the convenience of Cannabis ruderalis. This strain is recognized for its uplifting cerebral effects and a distinct spicy-citrus aroma, making it a popular choice for those seeking a Haze experience with a shorter, more manageable growth cycle.
Appearance
Auto Haze typically presents a dominant central cola with several smaller side branches, characteristic of its sativa heritage. The plant's leaves are narrow and serrated, displaying shades of lime to medium green. Internodal spacing is generally moderate to long, contributing to good air circulation. While indoor heights commonly range from 60-100 cm, plants can reach 90-150 cm outdoors. Bud structures are typically aerated to medium-dense, with some phenotypes potentially exhibiting foxtailing late in flowering. Elongated bracts and white pistils that mature to orange-amber are common, and trichome coverage becomes prominent in the later stages of bloom.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Auto Haze is often described as a spicy-citrus bouquet, with notes that can include lemon and orange. This profile is complemented by underlying hints of candy, cream, floral, and herbal undertones. The flavor follows suit, offering a complex taste that mirrors its aromatic qualities, making for a pleasant sensory experience during consumption.
Effects
Consumers report that Auto Haze delivers a clean, euphoric lift with predominantly cerebral effects. It is often associated with promoting bright, creative moods and an enhanced sense of focus. Many users experience a reduction in stress and an increase in sociability, with minimal reported couchlock, aligning with its sativa-leaning influence.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
Auto Haze is characterized by a terpene profile frequently led by terpinolene, limonene, and beta-caryophyllene. These compounds are thought to contribute to the strain's uplifting and creative effects. The THC content typically ranges from 15-25%, with CBD levels remaining below 1%.
Growing
As an autoflowering strain, Auto Haze flowers based on age rather than light cycle, allowing for harvests typically within 70-95 days from seed. Its ruderalis and sativa genetics result in a plant that is relatively compact and manageable, suitable for various growing environments including tents and balconies. The plant's structure supports low-stress training. Difficulty is considered moderate due to the need for careful transplanting and early training to maximize yield within its finite vegetative window.

It was developed by Linda Seeds to offer the classic Haze characteristics in an autoflowering format.
