How to grow Sour Crack Auto
Seb's take
Carat 24 crossed with Green Crack for a lightning-fast autoflower that does not hang about in production or in effect. The high is well-rounded enough for any hour of the day, strong without tipping into excess at 19% THC. Efficient, in every sense.
Where it comes from
Green Crack's cutting crossed with 24 Carat over a Ruderalis base - Mephisto Genetics stacking a famously brisk sativa cut onto an automatic frame, then tilting the result ninety per cent toward indica. The record calls the genetics insane and the production lightning-fast, which between them explain the appeal: the speed of one parent, the schedule of the Ruderalis, the resin of the third. A small plant with a large reputation packed into it.
Nose & flavour
No tasting notes are set down, and I will not conjure any from the parentage. The record's interest lies elsewhere - in the speed and the strength - so the nose is left for the grower to meet firsthand. What can be said is that a 24 Carat parent rarely arrives quietly; expect resin, and expect the aroma to follow it. The specifics I leave to your own acquaintance.
The high
Nineteen per cent THC, and the record's word for the effect is well-rounded - even-handed enough to suit any hour rather than confining itself to the evening. Strong without tipping into excess, which for a ninety-per-cent indica automatic is a fair balance to strike. Efficient in effect as in everything else about her, and undemanding of interpretation.
Growing it
One of the smaller plants in the cabinet - 35 to 55cm - and lightning-quick with it, fifty-five to sixty days from germination. Yields come per plant rather than per metre, at thirty to sixty grams apiece, so this is a strain for the grower short on height and time rather than one chasing bulk. Discreet, rapid, and easily hidden. A tidy operator that does not overstay its welcome.
