Bluedawg Auto by Bluedog Genetics
Ruderalis × Indica
Bluedawg Auto is an auto-flowering indica hybrid developed by Bluedog Genetics, recognized for its resilience and rapid growth cycle. It combines the auto-flowering traits of ruderalis with the robust qualities of indica genetics, appealing to both new and experienced growers.
Appearance
Bluedawg Auto typically presents with vibrant green foliage, often showing deep blue undertones. Its structure is characterized by thick, sturdy stems and indica-like leaves with serrated edges, measuring about 6-9 cm. The buds are conical and densely covered in trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance.
This strain maintains a manageable size, reaching 70-100 cm indoors, though outdoor cultivation can result in taller plants. Its compact morphology, inherited from its ruderalis parentage, makes it suitable for cultivation in limited spaces.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Bluedawg Auto is a complex blend featuring earthy, fruity, and piney notes, with a musky undertone reminiscent of a forest. A subtle blueberry scent, as suggested by its name, is also present, balanced by herbaceous qualities.
Its flavor profile is described as refreshingly complex, offering a smooth, slightly sweet inhale with a lingering aftertaste that combines berry sweetness with a spicy, peppery finish. Some testers also detect a hint of lemon zest.
Effects
Bluedawg Auto is noted for providing a balanced experience, leaning towards the psychoactive effects of THC. Users often report a robust yet manageable cerebral high that is accompanied by deep physical relaxation. Its effects are generally considered calming and may promote focus.
The strain's potency makes it suitable for recreational use, and its relaxing properties may offer relief for certain discomforts. The blend of indica and ruderalis genetics contributes to a well-rounded experience.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
While specific terpene and cannabinoid percentages are not detailed, Bluedog Genetics has indicated that key terpenes such as Myrcene, Limonene, and Pinene contribute to the strain's complex aroma and flavor. These compounds are thought to enhance the overall effects and sensory experience.
Laboratory analyses indicate THC levels typically range from 18-22%, with CBD content usually below 1%. The indica dominance contributes to its potency, while the ruderalis genetics ensure its auto-flowering characteristics. Minor cannabinoids may also be present, potentially contributing to the entourage effect.
Growing
Bluedawg Auto is known for its resilience and adaptability, thriving in various environments. Its auto-flowering nature, derived from ruderalis genetics, allows it to transition from seed to harvest in approximately 8-10 weeks, significantly faster than many photoperiod strains. Growers have noted a potential increase in yield per square foot compared to other auto-flowering varieties.
The strain exhibits robust growth, with a compact structure suitable for indoor cultivation, reaching 70-100 cm. Outdoor growth can lead to taller plants. Its hardiness and rapid cycle make it appealing for both commercial and personal cultivation, offering a favorable balance of speed, yield, and potency.
Origins & Lineage
Bluedawg Auto was developed by Bluedog Genetics as a pioneering auto-flowering strain. It is a hybrid created by carefully blending ruderalis genetics, responsible for its auto-flowering trait and hardiness, with indica genetics, which contribute to its potency and relaxing effects.
The breeding program focused on combining speed and high yield without compromising the desirable qualities of traditional indica strains. This careful cross-breeding has resulted in a stable, resilient plant that appeals to a wide range of cultivators.
