How to Grow Bloody Skunk Auto® Successfully

For a fast, reliable harvest, follow these key steps tailored to this strain’s genetics and growth pattern.

Quick overview

Autoflowering · Sweet Seeds · 8-week cycle · Low difficulty · Ideal for small spaces and discreet grows.

• Start with a final pot of 18–27 L to avoid transplant stress
• Use well-aerated soil or coco with perlite for root health
• Keep light cycle at 18–20 hours daily from seed to harvest
• Avoid aggressive pruning — this auto recovers slowly
• Expect flowering to begin automatically around week 3

Stable seedling stage

Secure strong roots early for a vigorous plant.

• Germinate seeds in a moist paper towel or starter cube
• Keep humidity at 60–70% and temperature around 22–25 °C
• Water lightly with pH 6.0–6.5 (soil) or 5.8–6.2 (coco)
• Boost root development with HESI Phosphorus Plus at first watering
• Transplant once the taproot is ~1 cm long

Directed growth

Guide structure early for maximum light exposure.

• Use low-stress training (LST) to open up the canopy
• Support branches with soft ties as they grow
• Feed with mild nutrients — this strain dislikes nutrient burn
• Ensure good airflow to prevent humidity buildup
• Monitor for early signs of flowering — it starts fast

Efficient flowering

Maximize resin and bud density during bloom.

• Reduce humidity to 40–50% to protect dense buds
• Boost flowering with HESI Power Zyme for cleaner, more potent harvests
• Apply bloom boosters like PK 13/14 in weeks 4–6
• Watch trichomes: harvest when milky with some amber for balanced effects
• Flush 7–10 days before harvest for smoother smoke

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Bloody Skunk Auto® really turn purple without cold temperatures?

Yes. Thanks to its Red Poison Auto® genetics, 95% of plants develop red and purple hues naturally, even in stable, warm conditions — no cold stress required.

How many seeds should I start with to ensure good phenotypes?

We recommend starting with at least 3–5 seeds. While most plants are stable, slight pheno variation can occur. This ensures you get the most colorful, high-performing plants.

Can I grow this strain outdoors in a rainy climate?

Absolutely. Its mold resistance and compact structure make it ideal for humid or unpredictable weather. Just ensure good airflow and avoid waterlogging.

Is it suitable for beginners?

Perfect for beginners. It’s forgiving, fast, and doesn’t require complex training. Just provide light, water, and a bit of love.

Personal Experience of Pevgrow’s CEO (Alan)

I’ve grown dozens of autos, but Bloody Skunk Auto® stands out for its consistency and beauty. I ran three plants under a 600W HPS with 18/6 lighting, and all turned deep purple by mid-flower — no cold tricks. I used LST early and avoided topping, which paid off with even canopy development. I fed lightly, as this strain hates excess nutrients, and added HESI Power Zyme in flowering for cleaner buds. Yield was around 500 g/m², and the high was smooth — uplifting at first, then gently relaxing. It’s now a staple in my seasonal rotation, especially for quick turnarounds. My only tip: don’t overthink it. This one grows itself.
