Auto Mass by Grassomatic
Ruderalis × Indica × Sativa
Auto Mass is an autoflowering hybrid cultivar developed by GrassOmatic, a breeder recognized for early advancements in ruderalis genetics. This strain is valued for its rapid growth cycle, compact stature, and balanced effects, making it suitable for both novice and experienced cultivators.
Appearance and Morphology
Auto Mass plants typically present a compact structure, usually reaching heights between 55-95 cm indoors and up to 110 cm outdoors. They are characterized by prominent central colas and dense secondary bud formation, with a favorable calyx-to-leaf ratio that simplifies trimming.
Phenotypes may exhibit broadleaf indica traits, with dark green foliage that can develop subtle lavender hues in cooler temperatures late in flowering. The plants possess a firm yet pliable stem structure, supporting rapid root development in well-aerated substrates.
Aroma and Flavor Profile
The aroma of Auto Mass is often described as sweet, musky, and herbal, with underlying notes of honeyed citrus and damp wood. Initial impressions may carry earthy tones from myrcene, complemented by hints of pepper from caryophyllene, while some phenotypes offer brighter citrus and pine notes.
Upon consumption, the flavor follows the aroma, presenting a creamy sweetness that evolves into notes of citrus peel, mild pepper, and a subtle cedar finish. The terpene profile is generally persistent post-cure, maintaining its aromatic qualities.
Effects
Auto Mass provides a balanced hybrid effect, suitable for daytime or evening use. It is reported to offer a mild cerebral lift combined with a relaxing physical sensation.
Terpenes and Cannabinoids
This strain typically contains around 12% THC and less than 1% CBD. The terpene profile commonly includes myrcene, limonene, caryophyllene, linalool, and pinene, contributing to its complex aroma and flavor characteristics.
Growing Characteristics
As an autoflower, Auto Mass completes its life cycle independently of light cycle changes, offering a fast seed-to-harvest window of approximately 9-11 weeks. It is known for its approachable vigor, consistent flowering, and suitability for growers seeking multiple harvests per season in warmer climates.
The cultivar is generally adaptable, performing well in various environments, though stable light intensity and moderate nutrient levels are recommended. It is considered a pragmatic, yield-forward plant suitable for indoor and outdoor cultivation.
Origins and Lineage
Developed by GrassOmatic, Auto Mass is a hybrid blend incorporating ruderalis genetics with indica and sativa traits. While specific parentage is not officially published, its 'Mass' moniker often suggests an association with Critical Mass genetics, aiming to combine its desirable bud formation with autoflowering capabilities.
The breeder focused on stabilizing the autoflowering trait and reducing phenotypic variability, resulting in a dependable cultivar known for its survivability and presence in enthusiast channels.
