Struggling with slow grows and inconsistent results?

Most autoflowering strains promise fast harvests but end up underperforming—weak yields, poor resin, or confusing care routines. You’re left waiting weeks only to be disappointed.

What happens when you rush your grow?

When you’re stuck with finicky plants, you end up overwatering, mis-timing nutrients, or harvesting too early. The result? Small, leafy buds, weak effects, and wasted time. You start questioning if home growing is even worth it—especially when life’s already hectic.

The smart shortcut to a serious harvest

Sweet Skunk Auto® solves it all: a no-fuss autoflower bred from Early Skunk and Critical Mass Auto, delivering big, aromatic yields in record time. It grows uniformly, flowers fast, and packs up to 20% THC—so you get quality, potency, and consistency without the stress.

Why this autoflower finishes strong every time

• Thanks to its 7½-week flowering cycle, you can harvest up to 4 times a year indoors—perfect for non-stop supply.
• With 400–500 g/m² (11.3–14.2 oz/ft²) indoors and up to 150 g (5.3 oz) per plant outdoors, it outperforms most photoperiod strains.
• Its 58% Indica dominance ensures compact growth (60–90 cm / 23.6–35.4 in), ideal for stealth grows or small spaces.
• The intense skunk aroma with sweet, musky and spicy notes delivers a rich sensory experience that lingers long after the session.

How to grow Sweet Skunk Auto® for maximum yield

Designed for speed and simplicity, this strain thrives with minimal intervention. Here’s how to get the most out of every seed.

Quick overview: Autoflowering · Sweet Seeds · 7.5-week cycle · low difficulty · ideal for indoor SOG or outdoor patio grows.

Safe start: Germinate in a moist, dark environment at 22–25 °C and high humidity. Transplant gently once the taproot is ~1 cm long.

• Use a light, airy seedling mix to prevent damping off.
• Keep lights at a safe distance (25–30 cm / 10–12 in) to avoid heat stress.
• Water lightly—just enough to keep the medium damp.
• For faster root establishment, MYCOPLANT boosts early root development.

Stable seedling: Focus on root health and steady growth during the first 10–14 days.

• Maintain RH at 60–70% and temperatures around 22–26 °C.
• Begin mild nutrient feeding after true leaves appear.
• Apply Humic-Blast Aptus to strengthen root resilience and nutrient uptake.
• Avoid overwatering—let the top layer dry slightly between waterings.

Directed growth: This strain grows fast—support structure early and avoid stress.

• Move to final 18–27 L pot early to prevent root shock.
• Use LST to spread the canopy and expose more bud sites.
• Keep pH at 6.0–6.5 (soil) and ensure good airflow to prevent mold.
• Feed with balanced nutrients—avoid high nitrogen in late flowering.

Efficient flowering: Peak resin production happens fast—optimize conditions from day one.

• Reduce RH to 40–50% to protect dense buds from botrytis.
• Boost flowering with Plagron Sugar Royal for enhanced aroma and sweetness.
• Support heavy colas with soft ties if needed.
• Flush 7–10 days before harvest for a smoother smoke.

Harvest and refinement: Timing is key—watch the trichomes, not the calendar.

• Harvest when trichomes are mostly milky with some amber for a balanced high.
• Dry slowly at 18–20 °C and 50–60% RH over 10–14 days.
• Cure in glass jars for 2–4 weeks, burping daily to develop flavor.
• Store in a cool, dark place to preserve terpenes and potency.

Personal Experience of Pevgrow’s CEO (Alan)

I’ve grown dozens of autoflowers, but Sweet Skunk Auto® stands out for its reliability. I ran a SOG setup with 9 plants in 20L pots under 600W LEDs at 18/20h—and every single one finished in 52 days from seed, yielding just under 500 g/m². The buds were rock-hard, frosty, and smelled like sweet diesel and ripe fruit. I didn’t top any, just used light LST to open the canopy. The high is smooth: creative at first, then deeply relaxing—perfect for evening vibes. My only tip? Don’t rush the cure. Let it breathe for at least three weeks. The flavor deepens dramatically, and the smoke gets silkier. It’s one of the few autos I’d confidently gift to a connoisseur.
