How to grow Auto Reek'N
Taste
Seb's take
OG Reek'n's autoflowering version, and the name is not modest — an award-winning strain for both extract and flower, with a depth of smell that rather lives up to it. At 20 to 23% THC and a medium ease-of-growth rating, this one rewards a grower who pays attention rather than one in a hurry.
Where it comes from
The autoflowering rendition of Devils Harvest Seeds' OG Reek'n, a strain whose photoperiod form, by the record's account, won awards for both extract and flower before this version arrived. The name is not modest, and the depth of smell rather lives up to it. Bringing an award-winner into autoflowering form is a tidy piece of work; the reputation, at least, made the crossing over intact, and cemented itself as a force to be reckoned with in a crowded market.
Nose & flavour
The record supplies no specific flavour notes, though it speaks plainly of a depth of flavour and smell, and the name offers a strong hint as to the general direction. I will not put words in the plant's mouth where the record stays silent. Suffice to say she does not travel discreetly, and was clearly bred so.
The high
No effect notes are listed, so I will describe temperament rather than invent an experience. At 20 to 23% THC with a 60:40 indica lean, this is plainly a strain of some weight, one to approach with a little care rather than casually. The figures do the talking here; the record leaves the rest to your own encounter, and I will not embellish it for her.
Growing it
She finishes in 65 to 70 days, or 10 to 12 weeks from germination by the record's reckoning, depending on light cycle and intensity, with a 20/4 schedule recommended to get the most from her. No height or yield figures are given, so I will not guess at them. The record rates her ease of growth as medium, which is to say experienced hands will find her straightforward while a beginner should pay attention. A strain that rewards care over haste.
