How to grow Short & Sweet Auto
Seb's take
AK49 and White Widow crossed onto Ruderalis give Short & Sweet Auto its sixty percent sativa lean and its ability to grow practically anywhere. She finishes in 55 to 65 days at under a metre tall, though the smell argues for a carbon filter regardless of her size. Compact in stature, generous in yield.
Growing Short & Sweet Auto: what to expect
An autoflower: she flowers on age, not on light hours, which removes the single biggest way to get the schedule wrong. The auto versus photoperiod lesson explains what that changes — which is nearly everything.
Flowering runs the standard 9 weeks — no surprises, which in this business is a compliment. The flowering stage guide covers what each of those weeks should look like.
A middling 100 cm or so at maturity — tall enough to yield, short enough to manage. Standard tent territory; the light planner sorts the hanging height.
The yield is, in plain terms, heavy — 500 – 700 g/m² when she's looked after. Branches will need support before they need sympathy; see supporting heavy colas.
THC tests under 18% by the breeder's numbers — measured rather than fierce. Some growers are after exactly that; the rest may keep scrolling with our blessing.
