How to grow Sonic Bloom Auto
THC 18%

Height 80-120cm Taste
Seb's take
Nepalese and Indian genetics combine here, proof that an autoflower need not apologise for its strength. The nose is earthy, musty and dank with a fruity undertone running beneath; the high is the sort that has you holding onto the cushion rather than the other way round. Indica-dominant, and not shy about it.
Where it comes from
Nepalese and Indian genetics behind this one - a strong, old-world indica base run through an automatic - and Dr Krippling offer it as evidence of how far an autoflower can be pushed for strength. The record names the two sides of the heritage and little else, which is enough: mountain stock and subcontinental stock, bred for potency rather than novelty. Indica-dominant, and not shy about the fact.
Nose & flavour
Earthy, musty and dank on the nose - a proper old-fashioned smell with weight to it - and a fruity undertone running beneath that keeps it from turning one-note. The record calls it the best of both worlds in smell and flavour, and the pairing of dank and fruit does earn the claim. Not a subtle plant, and not trying to be.
The high
Eighteen per cent THC on paper, and the record is fonder of metaphor than of moderation - you may want to hold onto your cushion, it warns, as the mind travels somewhere the body did not agree to go. Take that as a plain notice of strength for an automatic. Indica-dominant underneath the head-trip, so it lands heavier than it launches.
Growing it
Sixty-five days from germination to harvest, and a manageable 80 to 120cm in height - comfortable enough for a tent without training. The record does not commit to a yield figure, so I will not invent one; describe her instead as an unfussy automatic that gets on with the job. Give her decent light and the full sixty-five days, and the strength the record promises arrives on schedule.
