Auto Peace Keeper by 710 Genetics
Ruderalis × Indica
Auto Peace Keeper is an autoflowering indica-ruderalis hybrid developed by 710 Genetics. This strain is recognized for its compact growth and resin-rich flowers, typically completing its life cycle within 70-85 days from seed. It is designed to offer a tranquil, centering experience.
Appearance
Plants generally reach heights of 60-100 cm indoors, characterized by a strong central cola and several smaller satellite branches. The foliage is typically broad and dark green, with tight internodal spacing. Buds mature into dense, spade-shaped clusters with a high calyx-to-leaf ratio, often displaying a frosty appearance due to abundant trichome coverage.
As the flowers ripen, pistils transition from cream to deep orange or rust hues. In the final stages of flowering, bracts become noticeably swollen, and trichome heads appear thick under magnification. Optimal conditions can lead to firm, weighty buds that resist excessive foxtailing.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma profile is classic indica, featuring earthy undertones, a spicy, hash-like scent, and hints of pine. As the plant matures, phenotypes may develop a peppery note and subtle herbal qualities. A faint citrus aroma can also be present, especially in warmer growing conditions.
Upon inhalation, flavors often begin with a soft, sweet earthiness, followed by a clean pine note that emerges during the exhale. A lingering peppery spice is characteristic, with vaporization at moderate temperatures highlighting herbal pine and citrus rind. Cured buds tend to offer a richer, more integrated flavor, with notes of mulched forest floor and sweet resin.
Effects
Auto Peace Keeper is known for promoting a sense of calm and body-forward relaxation, consistent with its indica heritage. The strain's name suggests a tranquil and centering effect profile.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
This strain is typically THC-dominant with minimal CBD content, a common chemotype for indica-leaning autoflowers. While specific percentages vary, THC levels are generally found in the 12-16% range in well-cultivated plants. Ruderalis genetics contribute to environmental resilience without significantly diluting potency.
Key terpenes identified include Myrcene, Limonene, Caryophyllene, Linalool, Pinene, and Humulene. These compounds contribute to the strain's complex aroma and flavor profile, ranging from earthy and piney to citrus and peppery notes.
Growing
Auto Peace Keeper is an autoflowering strain, meaning it flowers based on age rather than light cycle, typically maturing from seed to harvest in 70-85 days. It is well-suited for growers seeking multiple harvests per year due to its compact size (60-100 cm indoors) and fast life cycle. The strain is considered relatively low-maintenance and forgiving, making it a good option for novice to intermediate growers.
Realistic yields indoors range from 350-500 g/m², with potential for higher yields in optimized setups. Outdoor cultivation in temperate climates can yield 50-150 g per plant. The plant exhibits good resin production and is known for its compact morphology, making it suitable for smaller grow spaces.
Origins & Lineage
Auto Peace Keeper is a hybrid strain developed by 710 Genetics, combining ruderalis and indica genetics. The breeder aims to create stable autoflowering varieties that retain the desirable characteristics of popular indica strains, including flavor and potency, within a shorter, day-neutral flowering period.
The genetic makeup typically consists of a significant indica influence balanced with ruderalis for the autoflowering trait. This combination results in a plant with indica-like physical markers and effects, coupled with the rapid, age-initiated flowering of ruderalis.
