Seb's take
Skunk #1, Afghani, and Critical Mass folded into an 85% Indica autoflower, with citrus riding over wood and earth on the nose. The high runs intense and long-lasting through the body, well suited to insomnia — and no cause for criticism whatsoever, despite the name.
Where it comes from
The same Spanish recipe as her photoperiod sister, Skunk #1, Afghani and Critical Mass, with Ruderalis folded in to hand the plant its own clock. The Ruderalis pushes the indica share up to around 85 percent, so she reads heavier and more compact than the original. Herbies Seeds built her for growers who would rather not fuss with light schedules, and the pedigree carries over intact, autoflower or not.
Nose & flavour
Citrus rides over the top, with wood and damp earth holding the base beneath it. Less spice than the photoperiod version, more of a woody, grounded profile with a bright edge. An honest, unshowy nose that does not travel discreetly once the jar is open.
The high
Relaxed and happy, with a creative thread that keeps it from turning entirely inward. The record describes an intense, long-lasting effect that settles firmly in the body, the 85 percent indica making itself felt. One for the end of the day rather than the start, and best met when you have nowhere in particular to be.
Growing it
An autoflower, and a patient one: seventy to eighty days from seed, so closer to eleven weeks than the usual autoflower sprint. She keeps a tidy 90 to 110cm, suiting a tent or a balcony, and returns 400 to 500 g/m². THC runs a wide 17 to 23 percent depending on the phenotype. Being auto, she starts flowering on her own terms; feed lightly through early growth and let her set her own pace.
