Super Automatic Sativa by Big Buddha Seeds
Ruderalis × Sativa
Super Automatic Sativa is an auto-flowering strain developed by Big Buddha Seeds, blending ruderalis resilience with sativa's uplifting qualities. It is recognized for its consistent performance and potent, cerebral effects.
Appearance
This strain typically reaches a medium height with a lanky yet sturdy structure characteristic of sativa genetics. Its leaves are long and slender, displaying deep green coloration that may show lighter green or even purple undertones. The buds are notably dense and conical, covered in a significant layer of trichomes that give them a frosty appearance, indicating high resin content.
The compact bud formation, combined with secondary branching, offers a visually appealing structure. This appearance is supported by its rapid maturation once flowering begins, which aids in reducing the risk of pests and mold.
Aroma & Flavor
Super Automatic Sativa presents a complex aromatic profile, beginning with a prominent citrus and pine scent, reminiscent of a forest after rainfall. As the aroma develops, subtle floral notes emerge, adding a layer of sweetness. Underlying these brighter notes is a distinct herbal quality.
The flavor mirrors the aroma, offering a blend of tangy lemon and earthy undertones. Some users also detect a faint spicy note that contributes to the overall sensory experience. This intricate profile has been compared to classic sativa varieties.
Effects
This strain is primarily known for delivering energetic and cerebral effects. Users often report an uplifting experience that can stimulate creativity and a general sense of well-being.
The high THC content, combined with a lower CBD percentage, emphasizes its psychoactive and mood-enhancing properties, making it a popular choice for daytime use.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
Laboratory analysis indicates a THC content typically ranging from 18% to 23%, with some specimens reaching up to 24%. CBD levels are generally low, around 1% to 2%. Minor cannabinoids like CBN may be present in trace amounts.
Key terpenes contributing to its aroma and potential effects include Myrcene, Limonene, and Pinene. Limonene is associated with citrus notes, while Pinene contributes to pine aromas, and Myrcene often adds earthy qualities.
