Auto Jock Horror by Sativa Seedbank
Ruderalis × Jock Horror (Northern Light x Skunk x Haze)
Auto Jock Horror is an autoflowering hybrid developed by Sativa Seedbank, created by combining ruderalis genetics with the Jock Horror line. This cross results in a plant that flowers based on age rather than light cycles, offering a faster lifecycle while retaining the sativa-forward characteristics of its Jock Horror heritage. It's known for producing resinous buds and providing a stimulating yet balanced effect.
Appearance and Growth
Auto Jock Horror typically grows into a compact to mid-sized plant, usually between 60-100 cm indoors. It features a dominant central cola with well-spaced side branches and leaves that exhibit a hybrid morphology. The buds are dense, often described as golf-ball or torpedo-shaped, with significant trichome coverage.
This strain is well-suited for indoor cultivation, often grown under extended light periods. Its autoflowering nature allows for multiple harvests per season in temperate climates, as it flowers independently of light cues.
Aroma and Flavor
The aroma profile of Auto Jock Horror is a complex blend of skunky musk, citrus, and pine, often accompanied by sweet herbal and floral notes. Upon closer inspection, hints of peppery spice and a lemon-lime zest can be detected. Grinding the buds typically intensifies these aromas, releasing sharper citrus and juniper-like scents.
Its flavor mirrors the aroma, presenting a primary taste of citrus peel and pine over a sweet, skunky undertone. The smoke or vapor can be crisp, with a lemon-lime character, followed by herbal and floral sweetness, and a peppery finish. Proper curing is noted to preserve the clarity of these flavors.

Origins and Lineage
Auto Jock Horror is an autoflowering hybrid from Sativa Seedbank. Its foundation is the Jock Horror strain, which itself is a three-way cross of Northern Light, Skunk, and Haze. This combination is known for mirroring the genetic structure of Jack Herer.
The autoflowering trait was introduced by crossing Jock Horror with ruderalis genetics. This process was refined over multiple generations to stabilize the autonomous flowering trait while preserving the potency and aromatic qualities of the original Jock Horror.
Cultivation
As an autoflowering hybrid, Auto Jock Horror is considered approachable for growers, including beginners. It flowers based on age, typically completing its lifecycle in 9-11 weeks from seed. The strain can be grown indoors under extended light cycles or outdoors, where it can be harvested multiple times in a single season due to its independence from photoperiods.
The plant's structure is generally compact, making it suitable for smaller cultivation spaces. Yields are considered good for an autoflowering variety, especially given its manageable size and rapid growth cycle.
