How to grow Purple Haze Autoflower
Taste
Seb's take
A tribute act to the original, and a faithful one - clear-headed, creative cerebral effects intact, wrapped in a fresh, juicy cherry-lemon flavour. Sixty-five percent Sativa, she still winds down into something relaxed and tingly by the end. History and character, delivered in ten to eleven weeks.
Where it comes from
Herbies crossed the original Purple Haze with their Auto Purple to bring the classic to an autoflowering frame, a tribute act, in their own words, and a faithful one. The aim was to keep the famous original's clear-headed, creative character while shortening the timeline and shrinking the plant. Sixty-five percent Sativa, so the lineage's cerebral bias survives the Ruderalis somewhere in the mix.
Nose & flavour
Cherry and lemon carry a fresh, juicy brightness, sour at the edges and sweet on the finish, the original's flavour profile kept intact through the conversion. A clean, fruit-forward nose with no heaviness to it, and no need for any.
The high
The effect keeps the original's clear-headed, creative cerebral lift up front, uplifting and tingly, before winding down into something relaxed and eventually sleepy. A sativa opening that remembers, by the end, that there is Indica in it too. A full arc, start to finish.
Growing it
Ten to eleven weeks from sprout, 70 to 75 days, which is patient for an autoflower, the sativa heritage exacting its toll on the calendar. She ranges from roughly 60 to 120cm, so stature will depend on the phenotype and your pot size. Yields reach 458 g/m², at around 18% THC. Undemanding enough for any garden, in the breeder's telling, if not the quickest auto on the shelf.
