Auto Sweet Donkey by Ministry Of Cannabis
Ruderalis × Indica × Sativa
Auto Sweet Donkey is a European autoflowering hybrid developed by Ministry of Cannabis. This tri-hybrid cultivar combines ruderalis genetics with indica and sativa traits to offer a reliable and flavorful experience, suitable for both novice and experienced growers.
Appearance & Morphology
Auto Sweet Donkey plants typically reach a medium-short stature, often between 60-100 cm indoors. They exhibit moderate internodal spacing, supporting conical cola development. The foliage displays broad to mid-width leaves, indicative of indica influence, while maintaining good lateral branching from sativa heritage. Mature flowers are usually lime to olive green, adorned with amber-orange pistils and a frosty trichome coating, with occasional faint lavender hues appearing under cooler conditions near harvest.
Aroma & Flavor Profile
The aroma of Auto Sweet Donkey is predominantly sweet, often described as confectionery with notes of fruit syrup and subtle floral undertones. Initial scents suggest candied citrus zest and sugar glaze, complemented by a soft earthiness. Upon proper curing, the aroma develops into distinct sweet, citrus, and faint spice components. The flavor profile mirrors the aroma, starting with a light honey or pastry glaze, transitioning to citrus-candy and floral notes like orange blossom on the inhale, and finishing with mild spice and wood undertones on the exhale.
Effects & Potency
This hybrid strain typically tests between 16-22% THC with less than 1% CBD. Users commonly report energetic and focused effects, making it suitable for daytime use. The balanced cannabinoid profile aims to provide a buoyant experience without being overly sedating.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
While specific lab data is not provided, the aroma and flavor profiles suggest the presence of terpenes such as Myrcene, Limonene, Caryophyllene, Linalool, Humulene, and Ocimene. These contribute to the strain's sweet, citrus, floral, and spicy characteristics, as well as its reported effects.
Growing Characteristics
As an autoflower, Auto Sweet Donkey is designed for ease of cultivation and rapid turnaround, typically finishing within 8-11 weeks from seed. It is well-suited for small-space growers, balconies, or micro-tents due to its manageable size. The cultivar is known for predictable flowering windows and consistent results, with a high transmission rate for the autoflowering trait.
Origins & Lineage
Developed by Ministry of Cannabis as part of the European autoflowering movement, Auto Sweet Donkey is a tri-hybrid derived from ruderalis, indica, and sativa genetics. This lineage provides the autoflowering trait from ruderalis, while indica and sativa components contribute to its structure, cannabinoid production, and terpene profile. The breeding aims to balance yield, speed, and flavor, resulting in a robust and approachable cultivar.
