Biscotti Auto by Green House Seeds
Gelato × Girl Scout Cookies × Ruderalis
Biscotti Auto is an autoflowering cultivar bred by Green House Seeds, designed to offer the desirable traits of the original Biscotti in a faster, simpler package. This mostly indica strain combines ruderalis genetics with a pedigree dessert hybrid, resulting in a compact plant that delivers dense, resinous buds with complex flavors and indica-leaning relaxation.
Appearance
Biscotti Auto develops into a compact to medium-sized plant, typically reaching heights between 70–110 cm indoors and slightly taller outdoors. It features short internodes, broad leaves, and a tendency to form dense, resin-coated colas. The flowers are often characterized by swollen calyxes, abundant trichomes that give them a frosted appearance, and pistils that can range from orange to amber. When exposed to cooler temperatures late in bloom, bracts may display anthocyanin-induced purple hues.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Biscotti Auto is predominantly sweet and bakery-like, reminiscent of vanilla-laced dough, toasted sugar, and almond pastry, layered with underlying notes of earth and diesel. Upon closer inspection, a subtle peppery warmth can be detected. The flavor profile mirrors the aroma, opening with sweet, nutty cookie dough and almond biscuit notes, followed by a hint of citrus and a soft vanilla finish. The exhale tends to be earthy with a slightly gassy character, leaving a toasted sugar aftertaste.
Effects
Biscotti Auto is generally described as providing a relaxing, evening-friendly experience. At lower to moderate doses, it can induce a rounded body effect that may be conducive to social interaction. Its indica-leaning nature promotes a sense of comfort and calm, making it a suitable choice for unwinding. The effects are often characterized by a pleasant physical sensation without being overly sedating, though higher consumption may lead to deeper relaxation.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
While specific percentages are not detailed, Biscotti Auto's terpene profile is noted to include Myrcene, Limonene, Caryophyllene, Linalool, and Humulene. These contribute to its complex aroma and flavor, offering notes of citrus, spice, and earth. The cannabinoid content typically falls within the 10-14% THC range, with CBD levels below 1%. The dense trichome production suggests a rich cannabinoid and terpene profile, making it visually appealing and suitable for concentrate production.
Origins & Lineage
Biscotti Auto is an autoflowering version of the classic Biscotti strain, developed by Green House Seeds. Its lineage traces back to the Cookie Fam era of West Coast breeding, with influences from Gelato and Girl Scout Cookies, often combined with an OG lineage. Green House Seeds incorporated ruderalis genetics to create the autoflowering trait, aiming to preserve the original's dessert-like qualities and indica-dominant effects in a faster-maturing plant.
Cultivation
As an autoflower, Biscotti Auto is designed for ease of cultivation and rapid turnaround, typically finishing from seed to harvest in 9–11 weeks. It is a mostly indica plant, characterized by a compact stature, short internodes, and a tendency to develop dense, resinous buds. The strain is noted for its robust trichome coverage, making it visually striking. It is suitable for growers seeking high-quality resin production and complex flavors from a manageable plant that does not rely on photoperiod light cycles.
