Auto Unicorn Poop by Gbs
GMO × Sophisticated Lady × Ruderalis
Auto Unicorn Poop is an autoflowering hybrid developed by GB Strains, combining ruderalis genetics with a balanced indica and sativa profile. It is designed to offer the vibrant characteristics and enjoyable effects associated with the Unicorn Poop family in a faster, seed-to-harvest cycle.
Appearance
This cultivar typically reaches a medium height, often between 70 to 120 centimeters indoors. It exhibits moderate internodal spacing and appreciable side branching, allowing for good light penetration. Bud structure is generally medium-dense to dense with a high calyx-to-leaf ratio, and sugar leaves are often resinous. Cooler temperatures may encourage the expression of lavender or plum hues, contrasting with green calyxes.
Mature flowers display saturated pistils and high trichome density, creating a frosted appearance. The plant architecture includes a sturdy central stem and supportive branches, suitable for training and promoting even airflow, which can help mitigate issues like botrytis when humidity is managed.
Aroma and Flavor
The aroma profile of Auto Unicorn Poop is characterized by bright, candy-like top notes layered with deeper notes of fuel and earth, and a subtle savory undertone. Upon grinding, scents of fruit punch and citrus zest emerge, followed by gas and a peppery aroma attributed to caryophyllene. The bouquet can also present sour and skunky accents.
The flavor follows the aroma, offering a blend of sweet, fruity, and candy-like notes, complemented by diesel and earthy undertones. The overall taste experience is complex, evolving with each aroma component.
Effects
Auto Unicorn Poop is noted for providing balanced hybrid effects that are described as energetic yet grounded. The strain aims to deliver joyful effects, capturing the essence of its photoperiod predecessors.
Terpenes and Cannabinoids
This strain contains Caryophyllene as a notable terpene, contributing to its peppery aroma and potential therapeutic benefits. The THC content is reported at 18%, with CBD levels below 1%. The high trichome density suggests significant resin production.
Growing
As an autoflower, Auto Unicorn Poop transitions to bloom based on age, not photoperiod, allowing for continuous light cycles and potentially multiple harvests per season outdoors. This ruderalis heritage typically shortens the total grow time to approximately 70 to 90 days from seed under optimal indoor conditions. The plant's morphology lends itself to good light penetration and airflow, with potential for a broad canopy and multiple colas.
Origins and Lineage
GB Strains created Auto Unicorn Poop by integrating a stabilized autoflowering donor line into a genetic base related to Unicorn Poop. This process involves multi-generational crossing and selection to fix the autoflowering trait while retaining the desired characteristics of the original. The photoperiod Unicorn Poop is often associated with a cross of GMO and Sophisticated Lady, but autoflower conversions typically require a separate ruderalis parent.
The genetic makeup is a polyhybrid blend including indica, sativa, and ruderalis. The ruderalis component ensures the plant flowers automatically, independent of light cycles. This breeding approach aims to capture the signature terpene profile and balanced effects of the original while offering the convenience of an autoflowering cultivar.
