Bulk Seed Bank’s Lavender Best Auto is a selection dedicated to connoisseurs seeking a refined sensory experience, dominated by floral aromas and breathtaking shades of color.
Derived from a cross between the legendary Lavender (a genetic mix of Afghan, Hawaiian, and Korean) and Lowryder, this autoflowering strain retains the charm of the original version, offering a robust, vigorous, and visually spectacular plant.
During flowering, Lavender Best Auto transforms into a true garden gem: the buds take on colors ranging from gold to amber, reaching dark purple or almost black tips when exposed to cooler nighttime temperatures, creating a magnificent contrast with the thick layer of silvery resin.
Lavender Best Auto in brief

In about 80 days from germination, Lavender Best Auto develops a tall structure with long, strong side branches capable of supporting dense buds. It is a plant aimed at lovers of “gourmet” cannabis, offering total relaxation that can become narcotic if consumed in large quantities.

Genetic Analysis and Grower Feedback
Research on portals such as GrowDiaries and Seedfinder confirms the color stability of this strain. Growers often report the appearance of “Midnight” phenotypes, where the leaves turn very dark during the last two weeks of flowering.
Community Insight: “Many users highlight Lavender Best Auto’s unique structure: the side branches tend to compete for height with the main cola. This structural vigor, inherited from Hawaiian and Korean genetics, makes it much ‘slender’ than classic, stocky autoflowering Indicas, allowing for better light penetration”.
Plant Management and Environmental Resistance
Lavender Best Auto is a structurally solid plant, excellent for those wishing to use the Sea of Green technique thanks to its tendency to develop long, heavy branches.
- Mold Resistance: Thanks to a flower structure that isn’t excessively compressed, it allows for excellent internal air circulation, making it highly resistant to common molds (such as Botrytis).
- Outdoors: It’s the perfect choice for those living in areas with short but humid summers, completing its cycle in about 75-80 days with minimal maintenance.
- Indoors: It can be grown with a photoperiod of 12 to 16 hours, but performs best with 18 to 20 hours of constant light.
Terpene Profile: The Essence of Linalool
Lavender Best Auto’s terpene profile is dominated by linalool, a compound known for its calming properties, also found in lavender itself.
- Aroma: An intense, balsamic scent of fresh lavender and rosemary, enriched with notes of sandalwood.
- Taste: On the palate, it is smooth and complex, with a blend of sweet fruit and exotic spices that leaves a clean, fresh sensation.
Effects: Deep calm and restful sleep
Lavender Best Auto’s effect is markedly Indica, focused on total relaxation of mind and body:
- Physical: It provides a deep sense of muscle relaxation. It is an effective natural medicine for relieving chronic tension and pain.

- Therapeutic: Highly recommended for those suffering from insomnia or anxiety, thanks to its ability to gently lull you into a deep sleep.

FAQ
How can I preserve the lavender scent?
The secret is in the drying process. To avoid the hayy scent, dry the harvest slowly at a constant temperature of around 18°C. This allows the more delicate terpenes, such as linalool, to stabilize without evaporating.
Does it always turn purple or black?
The color is genetic, but it is stimulated by the cold. If you grow indoors with constant temperatures above 24°C, the plant will remain more tendent to green/gold. To see darker hues, lower nighttime temperatures in the last two weeks.
Is it suitable for SOG systems?
Absolutely. Its vigorous structure and long lateral branches allow it to fill the space evenly, maximizing yield per square meter.
What is the maximum height it can reach?
In large pots and plenty of light, some specimens can exceed 120 cm, so plan the vertical space in your grow room carefully.
