How to grow Watermelon Z Auto
Taste
Seb's take
Watermelon Z crossed with Barney's own BF Super Auto #1, tropical fruit and berry candy-sweet on the nose. A well-balanced Indica-Sativa hybrid, the high runs uplifting and euphoric with a relaxed undertow, autoflowering and straightforward to grow from such well-regarded stock.
Where it comes from
Watermelon Z crossed with Barney's Farm's own BF Super Auto #1, the breeder's route to turning a favoured photoperiod strain into an autoflower without losing its character. The Watermelon side carries the fruit; the Super Auto side carries the automatic timing and a little extra vigour. A well-balanced hybrid from well-regarded stock, and one that keeps its fruit-forward heritage intact through the conversion to auto.
Nose & flavour
Tropical fruit and berry lead, candy-sweet and generous, the record's comparison to a bag of fruity sweets a fair one. She keeps the bright, juicy character of her Watermelon parent, if anything leaning a touch more tropical. A plainly sweet nose with no fuel or funk to complicate it, the kind that makes her easy company for anyone with a sweet tooth.
The high
At 26% THC this is no lightweight, whatever the candy nose suggests, a sipping strain, not a session one. The effect runs uplifting and euphoric with a relaxed undertow beneath, the balanced build keeping head and body in fair proportion. Bright at the top, settled underneath, and potent enough to warrant a little respect for that figure.
Growing it
An autoflower, and straightforward for it, though a tall one; she runs to 120 to 140cm, so give her the headroom before she claims it. Flowering finishes in around 70 days, returning a solid 550 g/m². Coming from such well-regarded stock, she tends to grow predictably and reward standard care, which makes her a fair choice for a grower wanting Watermelon Z's fruit without the wait a photoperiod plant demands. Plan for her reach and the rest looks after itself.
