How to grow Auto Speed Haze
Taste
Seb's take
Skull Ryder crossed with Speedhaze, fine-leaved and long-budded like a proper haze, though the indica and Ruderalis underneath give the effect a narcotic pull the name doesn't quite advertise. Spice, earth and citrus on the nose, with peppery hints as she finishes; the high is happy, euphoric and creative, but heavier than expected.
Where it comes from
Blackskull Seeds crossed their Skull Ryder with Speedhaze to make this one, fine-leaved and long-budded like a proper Haze, though the record is candid that the effect is not fully sativa. There is a good deal of indica and Ruderalis underneath, which pulls the experience heavier than the airy Haze structure would suggest. An honest bit of breeding, then: the plant looks the part but keeps a surprise in reserve for anyone who takes the name too literally.
Nose & flavour
Spice, earth and citrus, with the peppery, piney hints the record notes appearing as she finishes flowering. Sharp citrus leads the flavour proper, over an earthy base. A classic hazy fragrance rather than a fruity one, aromatic, a touch old-fashioned, and pleasantly complex through the cure. A bouquet that deepens the longer you leave her.
The high
Happy, euphoric and creative on the surface, the sativa influence showing in the lift, but heavier underneath than the name lets on, the record describing a distinctly narcotic pull from the indica and Ruderalis in her. Expect the head to rise before the body settles. At 10 to 15% THC it stays manageable, but do not be fooled by the airy leaves.
Growing it
A longer flowering strain than most autos at 70 to 80 days from seed, taking 21 to 25 days simply to begin flowering. She reaches around a metre, the record giving 50 to 100cm, and yields 40 to 80g per plant. Towards the end the buds shine with crystals, so the wait is repaid in resin. A patient grower's autoflower rather than a quick-turnaround one, and better for the extra care.
