Auto Purps by 710 Genetics
Ruderalis × Indica × Sativa
Auto Purps is an autoflowering hybrid developed by 710 Genetics, incorporating ruderalis, indica, and sativa genetics for a balanced profile. This strain is recognized for its ease of cultivation, attractive coloration, and approachable potency, making it suitable for various users.
Appearance
Auto Purps typically presents a compact to medium plant stature, often reaching heights between 60-100 cm indoors. Its nodes are densely packed, supporting robust top colas, and early growth may show broad leaves with dark-tinted petioles. As flowering progresses, the calyxes can develop striking purple to deep violet hues, particularly under cooler nighttime temperatures. The buds are generously coated in trichomes, giving them a frosted appearance by mid-flower, with prominent, sticky resin heads indicating peak ripeness.
The final cured buds offer high visual appeal, characterized by a contrast of purple coloration, orange pistils, and a silvery trichome sheen. They cure to a dense, pliable consistency with an efficient bract-to-leaf ratio, making them easy to trim.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma profile of Auto Purps is predominantly berry-forward, featuring notes of sweet grape, blackcurrant, and plum. Underlying scents may include cedar, fresh pine, and a mild peppery spice. When the flowers are broken apart, a tart citrus peel-like edge can emerge, complementing the jammy fruit notes. Cooler finishing temperatures are reported to enhance this berry-dominant aroma.
On inhalation, the flavor mirrors the aroma with prominent grape candy and blackberry jam notes, supported by a subtle undercurrent of fir wood and cracked pepper. The exhale is smooth and can present a creamy texture, sometimes with hints of vanilla or cocoa, especially in phenotypes rich in certain terpenes. Vaporization tends to highlight fruit esters and floral tones, while careful drying and curing preserve sweetness for combustion.
Effects
Auto Purps is noted for providing a balanced effect profile, suitable for daytime or evening use. Users have reported experiencing a creative uplift from this strain. The hybrid nature suggests a combination of mental stimulation and potential relaxation, aligning with its indica and sativa genetic influences.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
While specific lab data for Auto Purps is limited, it aligns with modern autoflower standards, typically exhibiting THC levels between 15-22%. CBD content is generally low, usually below 1%. The terpene profile is suggested to include Myrcene, Limonene, Caryophyllene, Linalool, Pinene, Humulene, and Ocimene, contributing to its complex aroma and flavor notes. Total cannabinoid content in high-quality examples often ranges from 18-26% by weight.
Growing
As an autoflower, Auto Purps transitions to flowering based on age rather than light cycle, simplifying cultivation. It is generally considered easy to grow, with a seed-to-harvest time of approximately 70-85 days. The strain benefits from careful early-stage care due to its rapid vegetative phase. Cooler nighttime temperatures during late bloom can enhance its purple coloration and berry aroma profile.
This strain is well-suited for small tents and micro-grows due to its compact to medium stature. Its resin production is noted as generous, making it potentially suitable for solventless extractions. Carbon filter management is advisable in enclosed spaces due to its pronounced aroma.
Origins & Lineage
Auto Purps is an autoflowering hybrid developed by 710 Genetics, a UK-based breeder. Its genetic makeup combines Cannabis ruderalis, indica, and sativa. The ruderalis genetics provide the autoflowering trait, while the indica and sativa components contribute to its balanced effects and aromatic complexity. The breeder aimed to capture the grape-berry characteristics of classic purple strains in a more manageable autoflower format.
