How to grow Original Auto Russian
Seb's take
White Russian crossed with Ruderalis for a hardy autoflower with a genuine cherry-tart character — sweet, earthy and berry-laden, with a golden cherry aftertaste that lingers. The high is relaxed, focused and creative, indica-dominant but not overbearing with it. Easy to grow and easier still to hide among other plants.
