Description
Black Lemon Auto – Exotic Seeds
Black Lemon Auto is the fast and automatic version of the iconic cross between Sir Jack and Black Lemon.
Exotic Seeds has stabilized this variety to offer all the benefits of the Black Lemon line — dark colors, pungent citrus scent, and high THC — in a life cycle that concludes in about 70 days. It is the queen choice for those growing in guerrilla or for those with little space indoor but who do not want to give up a “connoisseur grade” product.
According to Seedfinder analysis, Black Lemon Auto maintains a Sativa dominance in its habit, growing with a slender structure and elongated buds that tend to darken drastically towards the end of the cycle.
It is a plant that does not respond to the photoperiod, flowering vigorously even under 20 hours of constant light, which allows it to accumulate an impressive amount of resin for an autoflowering strain.
Performance and strategies for automatic growers
Consulting the GrowDiaries reports, Black Lemon Auto proves to be a very “autonomous” variety but one that benefits from a perfect start. There is no time to correct major errors in such a short cycle. Ensuring a stress-free environment during the first 21 days is the key to success with this strain.
- Final pot: Use pots of at least 11-15 liters from germination. Transplants are the number one enemy of autoflowering plants, as the shock could stall growth during the crucial flowering phase.
- Light exposure: Indoors, it gives its best with 20 hours of light and 4 of darkness. Outdoors, ensure it receives at least 6-8 hours of direct sun to develop swollen and dense calyxes.
- Environmental resistance: Thanks to its speed and robust genetics, it resists pests and molds well, finishing the cycle before the most critical periods of the season arrive.
- Harvest time: Usually ready in 8-10 weeks from sowing. It is one of the fastest and most productive autoflowers on the market.
- Yield: You can expect between 350-450g/m2 indoors. The buds are long and take on a very attractive purple-blackish coloration.
Citrus terpenes and mental well-being
The flavor is the signature: sour lemon, almost chemical, combined with a very elegant incense note. The dominant terpenes are Limonene, Terpinolene, and Myrcene, providing a refreshing and uplifting profile.
- Balanced high: Unlike many Indica-dominant autoflowers, Black Lemon Auto offers an energetic and social effect. It is great for outdoor walks or light work sessions.
- Smoking experience: The taste is fresh, citrusy, and slightly earthy. It doesn’t weigh down the palate and invites convivial consumption.
- Cannabinoids: With a THC content ranging between 17% and 20%, it offers a solid potency that lasts for several hours without causing anxiety or tachycardia.
- Leafly reviews: Many users prefer it for its ability to improve mood without causing excessive munchies or sudden lethargy.
Other Information
This auto-flowering variety is the result of a selection of a strain of Black Haze Auto crossed with the Skunk Auto variety that we have already used in previous auto-flowering genetics. The main characteristic of this hybrid consisted of a marked citrus aroma that was expressed with greater intensity in those individuals who showed flowers of dark colors, that we decided to preserve in the successive generations that gave origin to this variety.
When cultivating, Black Lemon Auto unfolds into an auto-flowering variety that stretches a lot, close to a meter of height and with high production, around 450 grams per square meter, where all the individuals acquire dark shades as the flowering advances and will be ready for Harvest in 9 weeks from its germination.
Regarding the aroma and flavor of its flowers, they are of a marked citric character as we have already mentioned previously. To all this we must add a complex effect, being more active at first, indicated for creative and social activities, to be more physical in its final part.
