Editorial profile

Automatic in detail

Origin & classification

Here, the very general name Automatic specifically refers to Big Buddha’s Automatic from Big Buddha Seeds. According to the source, the development aimed to create a new generation of autoflowering plants with greater stability, vitality and flavor than earlier Automatic lines. Northern Lights, Mexican Ruderalis and a Bonkers male are named as parents. The breeder-specific genetic breakdown is 50 percent Indica, 30 percent Sativa and 20 percent Ruderalis.

Aroma & flavor

The source describes short, compact growth with a structure suited to dense plantings. A narrow shape reminiscent of a candyfloss stick is particularly emphasized. Visibly sticky, glistening resin is said to develop on the flower tips. Big Buddha Seeds also characterizes the strain as exceptionally low-maintenance. These statements refer to the breeder’s own version and should not be applied without verification to other strains that are merely called “Automatic.”

Terpene profile

Floral and lavender-like fragrance notes take center stage aromatically, complemented by a note reminiscent of incense. In terms of flavor, the description mentions sweet candy nuances with a sour edge. The structured aroma fields summarize this as floral, sweet, lavender-like and candy-like. The result is a clearly sweet foundation differentiated by floral notes and a more tart, slightly sour contour. Specific terpenes have not been documented.

Effect tendency

For duration, the original text states eight to ten weeks from seed to completion. This is a complete life cycle from germination, not a pure flowering time. The main field, by contrast, lists nine to ten weeks as the flowering time, while the raw dataset records approximately 63 days. These figures should not be conflated. Until corrected, the breeder-specific range of eight to ten weeks from seed is the clearest way to present the information, although it remains dependent on conditions and phenotype.

Cannabinoids, flowering & appearance

The source describes the sensory effect only as surprisingly pleasant. More specific terms relating to mental or physical orientation are absent, as are THC and CBD values. Any statement about potency would therefore be speculative. More informative are the documented breeding goal, the specific three-way parentage, the compact Automatic growth and the resin-rich flower tips. Together with the combination of lavender, floral sweetness, candy and light acidity, this creates a breeder-specific profile that is considerably more concrete than its generic strain name might suggest.
