Everglades OG Auto by Happy Valley Genetics
Indica dominant hybrid × Sativa dominant hybrid
Everglades OG Auto is a hybrid strain developed by Happy Valley Genetics, designed to offer a balanced blend of indica and sativa characteristics in a fast-flowering autoflower format. It is known for its robust aroma, complex flavor profile, and consistent quality, making it a notable entry in the autoflower category.
Appearance
Everglades OG Auto plants are visually appealing, typically displaying deep green foliage that can develop purple hues as flowering progresses. The buds are dense and resinous, covered in a significant amount of trichomes, contributing to their high quality.
The plant structure is often described as compact and bush-like, making it well-suited for indoor cultivation where space may be limited. Leaves are broad with serrated edges, characteristic of its balanced genetic background.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Everglades OG Auto is characterized by a bold, earthy scent complemented by notes of citrus and pine. As the buds cure, secondary aromas of lemon zest and spice may emerge, creating a multifaceted olfactory experience.
Its flavor profile mirrors the aroma, offering an intricate blend of earthy, citrus, and pine notes. Initial tastes often feature a sharp citrus tang, akin to lemon or orange, which transitions into a grounding earthiness with subtle spicy undertones, sometimes described as peppery or cedar-like.
Effects
Everglades OG Auto is reported to provide a balanced set of effects, combining the relaxing qualities often associated with indica strains with the mental stimulation attributed to sativas. This blend can lead to a state of relaxed alertness.
Users have described experiencing a creative uplift and a general sense of happiness when consuming this strain. Its effects are thought to be suitable for those seeking a nuanced experience that is neither overly sedating nor excessively energizing.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
Laboratory analyses indicate that Everglades OG Auto typically contains THC levels ranging from 18% to 24%, with CBD content generally below 1%. Minor cannabinoids such as CBG and CBN may also be present, potentially contributing to the entourage effect.
The terpene profile is notable for its high concentrations of myrcene and caryophyllene, which contribute significantly to its robust aroma. Other terpenes like limonene, linalool, and pinene may also be present, influencing the strain's overall sensory and potential therapeutic qualities.
Growing
As an autoflowering variety, Everglades OG Auto is developed for its fast-flowering nature, typically completing its cycle within 8-10 weeks under optimal conditions. Its robust genetics contribute to resilience against common pests and diseases.
The plant's compact and bush-like structure makes it manageable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. Historical cultivation records suggest a potentially high yield, with some reports indicating up to 600 grams per square meter in ideal environments.
Origins & Lineage
Everglades OG Auto was bred by Happy Valley Genetics through extensive experimentation, aiming to combine the best traits of indica and sativa genetics into a rapidly flowering autoflower. The development process involved evaluating over 50 candidate crosses to establish its backbone.
This hybrid strain is characterized by a balanced genetic influence, with approximately 55% sativa and 45% indica. The infusion of genetics from non-autoflowering strains ensures a strong foundational lineage combined with the benefits of autoflower technology.
