Auto Massassin by Critical Mass Collective
Critical Mass × Ruderalis
Auto Massassin is a predominantly indica, autoflowering cultivar developed by Critical Mass Collective. It is bred for substantial yields and potency within a compact, manageable plant structure, making it suitable for growers of all experience levels.
Appearance
This strain typically grows into a squat, symmetrical plant with broad, dark green leaves and thick stems. During flowering, it develops dense, cylindrical colas with minimal sugar leaf, often appearing golf-ball to torpedo-shaped. Buds are known for their high trichome coverage, giving them a frosted appearance, and may exhibit faint lavender undertones under cool conditions. Indoor plants generally range from 60-110 cm in height.
Aroma & Flavor
Auto Massassin presents a rich aroma profile combining sweet earthiness with spicy and citrus notes. Initial scents are often described as hashy and sweet, with underlying hints of spice and citrus rind. Upon breaking apart the flowers, notes of black pepper and orange zest become more apparent. The flavor mirrors this, offering a velvety inhale with initial tastes of sweet soil and pine, followed by black pepper and orange peel on the palate.
Effects
Consumers often seek Auto Massassin for its soothing, body-led experience, making it well-suited for relaxation and unwinding after daily activities. It is also noted for its potential to aid in sleep and alleviate tension. The effects are generally considered to be indica-dominant, promoting a sense of calm and comfort.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
The terpene profile of Auto Massassin is generally led by myrcene, with significant contributions from beta-caryophyllene and limonene. These terpenes contribute to the strain's earthy, spicy, and citrusy aroma and flavor characteristics. THC content typically ranges from 17-22%, with CBD levels below 1%.
Growing
As an autoflower, Auto Massassin transitions from seedling to harvest without dependence on light cycles, typically completing its lifecycle in 9 to 11 weeks. It is known for producing dense flowers and respectable yields, even in smaller cultivation spaces like tents or balconies. The plant's structure, with short internodes and broad leaves, is amenable to low-stress training.
Origins & Lineage
Auto Massassin was created by Critical Mass Collective, a breeder focused on enhancing yield and resin production in indica-dominant hybrids. It combines genetics from Critical Mass, which itself originates from Skunk and Afghani landraces, with a ruderalis donor to impart autoflowering traits. This cross results in a plant that inherits the dense bud structure and indica effects while offering speed and predictability.
