Auto Lennon by Pyramid Seeds

Ruderalis × Lennon (Pyramid Seeds)

Auto Lennon by Pyramid Seeds is an autoflowering sativa cultivar developed to offer the brisk, cerebral characteristics of its photoperiod predecessor in a more accessible format. By integrating ruderalis genetics, this strain flowers independently of light cycles, making it suitable for various growing environments and schedules. It aims to provide a lively, uplifting experience with a distinct citrus-herbal profile.

Appearance and Morphology

Auto Lennon typically grows to a medium-tall stature, ranging from 60-100 cm indoors and 80-130 cm outdoors. Its structure is predominantly apical, featuring a strong central cola supported by symmetrical side branches. The leaves are slender to medium in width, indicative of its sativa influence, and display a light green hue. Buds are generally conical or spear-shaped, with a moderate calyx-to-leaf ratio that aids in trimming. Resin coverage is notable for an autoflower, particularly on the upper parts of the plant.

Some phenotypes may exhibit mild foxtailing on the uppermost colas under high heat or intense light conditions, which is a common trait in sativa-leaning autos and is largely cosmetic. The plant's root system responds well to air-pruning containers.

Aroma and Flavor Profile

This strain is recognized for its sharp citrus-herbal aroma, a characteristic inherited from its parent line. The scent profile is often described as bright and clean. Upon consumption, these aromatic notes translate into distinct flavors that mirror the nose.

The taste is commonly characterized by citrus undertones, often leaning towards lemon and grapefruit, complemented by herbal and floral nuances. Some users may also detect hints of grape and pepper in the flavor profile.

Effects

Auto Lennon is known for delivering brisk, cerebral effects that are characteristic of sativa-dominant strains. The experience is often described as uplifting and mentally stimulating, promoting a sense of clarity and focus.

Users frequently report enhanced creativity and a general feeling of well-being. While primarily sativa-leaning, the genetic balance may offer a smoother experience compared to some pure sativas, making it suitable for daytime use.

Terpenes and Cannabinoids

Auto Lennon typically exhibits THC levels ranging from 15% to 25%, positioning it within the mid-to-high potency range for modern autoflowers. CBD content is generally below 1%.

The terpene profile is often dominated by compounds such as Myrcene, Limonene, Caryophyllene, Pinene, and Terpinolene, contributing to its distinct aroma and flavor characteristics, as well as its reported effects.

Cultivation

As an autoflower, Auto Lennon completes its life cycle from seed to harvest in approximately 70-85 days, regardless of light cycle changes. It is generally considered to have moderate difficulty, adaptable to various growing conditions. The plant typically reaches a manageable height, making it suitable for growers with limited space.

Yields are respectable for an autoflower, with growers often achieving good results both indoors and outdoors. It is noted for its tolerance to light training and modest nutrient requirements, contributing to its ease of cultivation.

Origins and Lineage

Auto Lennon is an autoflowering version of Pyramid Seeds' original Lennon line. It was created by crossing the Lennon cultivar with a stabilized ruderalis strain. This hybridization preserves the sativa-driven character and organoleptic properties of the original Lennon while introducing the autoflowering trait.

The genetic makeup blends ruderalis, indica, and sativa components. The ruderalis provides the autoflowering ability, while the indica influence is thought to contribute to bud density and resilience. The sativa heritage is responsible for its characteristic brisk, clear effects and citrus-herbal aroma.
