Ruderalis × Indica × Sativa
Kealia Beach Auto is an auto-flowering hybrid developed by Puff Puff Pass Cultivars, blending ruderalis, indica, and sativa genetics. This cultivar is recognized for its manageable growth, significant resin production for an auto, and a tropical profile that balances fruit, floral, and citrus notes.
Appearance
Kealia Beach Auto produces dense, lime to olive green buds often adorned with apricot or copper pistils. In cooler temperatures, anthocyanins may develop, adding lavender hues to the sugar leaves. The flowers are covered in abundant trichomes, giving them a frosted appearance, and feature compact calyx stacks resembling tumbled stones.
Plants typically reach a height of 70-110 cm indoors, with strong lateral branching. The bract-to-leaf ratio is favorable for an auto, resulting in manageable sugar trim.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Kealia Beach Auto is characterized by a bright tropical bouquet, featuring notes of mango, pineapple, and sweet citrus peel, complemented by a saline floral undertone reminiscent of sea breeze or plumeria. Subtle hints of vanilla and fresh herbs can also be detected.
Upon inhalation, flavors of candied mango and orange zest are prominent, followed by a creamy mid-palate. The finish carries a light floral-saline echo, creating a profile that is sweet without being cloying. Grinding the flower releases secondary notes of lemongrass and pine.
Effects
Kealia Beach Auto is noted for providing a relaxed and uplifted mental state, often accompanied by a sense of focus. Its effects can be suitable for daytime use or as a mellow wind-down in the evening, depending on the dosage and individual tolerance.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
This strain typically exhibits THC levels ranging from 18-24%, with CBD content below 1%. Its terpene profile is driven by compounds such as myrcene, limonene, and ocimene, with supporting notes from linalool and terpinolene. This chemical composition contributes to its buoyant aroma and flavor profile.
