Ruderalis × Indica × Sativa
Smokin Gun Auto is an auto-flowering indica hybrid developed by Dr. Krippling Seeds. It combines ruderalis genetics for rapid growth with indica and sativa traits for a balanced effect. This strain is recognized for its relatively quick flowering cycle and notable cannabinoid profile.
Appearance
Smokin Gun Auto features dense, compact buds with a visually appealing mix of deep greens, often accented by purple hues and fiery orange pistils. Its buds are covered in a generous layer of trichomes, giving them a shimmering, resinous appearance.
The tight bud structure, a result of its indica and sativa heritage, can also contribute to mold resistance in challenging indoor environments.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Smokin Gun Auto is complex, offering a bouquet that includes pine, earthy notes, and a sweet, citrus-like finish. Its scent is often described as robust and layered.
The flavor profile mirrors the aroma, delivering a smooth yet intricate taste. Initial notes of sweetness are followed by spicy and peppery undertones, with a lingering earthy aftertaste. Hints of orange are also present.
Effects
This strain offers a balanced effect, combining a cerebral stimulation from its sativa genetics with the relaxing qualities typically associated with indica. Users report a clear head high alongside a sense of deep relaxation.
The combination aims to provide a potent experience without being overly sedative or anxiety-inducing, making it suitable for both recreational and potential medicinal use.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
Laboratory analysis indicates that Smokin Gun Auto typically contains THC levels ranging from 18% to 24%. The terpene profile is characterized by prominent compounds such as Myrcene, Limonene, and Caryophyllene.
These terpenes contribute significantly to the strain's distinct aroma and flavor characteristics, influencing its overall sensory experience and potential effects.
Growing
As an auto-flowering variety, Smokin Gun Auto is designed for rapid growth, with a flowering cycle typically completing in 8-10 weeks. It is noted for its resilience and adaptability to various cultivation conditions.
Yields can be substantial, with historical data suggesting up to 400 grams per square meter indoors. Its compact bud structure also offers some resistance to mold, making it a viable option for indoor grows.
Origins & Lineage
Developed by Dr. Krippling Seeds in the early 2010s, Smokin Gun Auto is a hybrid strain created by crossing ruderalis genetics with indica and sativa varieties. The intention was to combine the auto-flowering trait of ruderalis with the potency and complex characteristics of traditional cannabis strains.
This genetic blend results in a strain that flowers automatically, independent of light cycles, while still delivering a robust cannabinoid profile and desirable sensory qualities.
