Auto Duck by Dutch Passion – Unique Duck-Foot Leaves & Discreet Grow for Urban Spaces

Auto Duck by Dutch Passion is an autoflowering hybrid with one of the most unique disguises in cannabis growing—duck-foot leaves that make it nearly invisible in plain sight, plus a smooth, balanced high perfect for daytime use.

Are your cannabis plants giving you away too soon?

Traditional cannabis leaves scream "weed" from day one. If you're growing on a balcony, in a garden, or anywhere visibility matters, that iconic leaf shape can draw unwanted attention before your plants even flower.

What happens if your grow isn’t discreet enough?

You risk neighbors noticing, odors spreading, or even legal trouble in sensitive areas. Most autos grow fast but still look like cannabis—loud, proud, and obvious. Without stealth, even a small plant can become a big problem.

Auto Duck blends in so well, you’ll forget it’s cannabis

Thanks to its stabilized ducksfoot mutation, Auto Duck looks like an ornamental plant or garden herb until late bloom. Its subtle scent and compact size make it perfect for urban growers who value privacy. With genetics from Frisian Duck and Auto White Widow, it delivers a clear-headed, uplifting high without sacrificing potency or yield.

What this strain does for your urban grow

Auto Duck turns your balcony, backyard, or patio into a stealth garden. It’s not just about hiding—it’s about growing with confidence, knowing your plants won’t raise eyebrows.

How to grow Auto Duck – expert tips

Auto Duck is a low-maintenance autoflower perfect for discreet, urban, or guerrilla grows. Here’s how to get the most from it.

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

• Use a light, airy soil mix to prevent damping off.
• Keep humidity high (60–70%) in early stages.
• For a hassle-free start, Klonagel rooting hormone gel speeds up rooting and reduces transplant stress.
• Avoid overwatering—let topsoil dry slightly between waterings.
• Consider using Bio Rhizotonic to boost root development naturally.

Directed growth: Place in full sun or under strong LEDs. This auto grows short and bushy, ideal for SOG setups.

• Use 18–20h light cycle from seed to harvest.
• Stick to a simple feeding schedule—less is more.
• Apply Bio Grow BioBizz for steady, organic growth without nutrient burn.
• Use LST to open up canopy and improve light penetration.
• Avoid topping—autos don’t recover well from stress.

Flowering phase: Begins automatically. Focus on airflow and light exposure.

• Maintain RH at 40–50% to prevent mold.
• Boost resin production with Bud Factor X Advanced Nutrients.
• Support branches if needed with soft ties.
• Flush 7–10 days before harvest for smoother smoke.
• Harvest when trichomes are mostly milky with some amber.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Auto Duck different from regular cannabis plants?

Auto Duck has a natural leaf mutation—its leaves look webbed, like a duck’s foot—making it nearly unrecognizable as cannabis during early growth. Combined with low odor and compact size, it’s ideal for discreet growing.

How long does it take to grow Auto Duck?

From seed to harvest, Auto Duck takes 10–11 weeks indoors and up to 13 weeks outdoors, depending on climate and light conditions.

Can I grow Auto Duck outdoors in a cold climate?

Yes. Auto Duck is highly resilient and can tolerate cool temperatures, even brief exposure to near-freezing conditions. It’s a favorite among Scandinavian growers for this reason.

Does Auto Duck smell strong when flowering?

No, it has a much subtler aroma than most strains—earthy, floral, and slightly fruity, with mint and citrus notes. While not odorless, it’s discreet enough for urban settings.

Personal Experience of Pevgrow’s CEO (Alan)

I first grew Auto Duck on my rooftop garden in Barcelona, right next to rosemary and lavender. For weeks, no one had a clue—neighbors walked past it daily, commenting on my "nice ornamental plant." That’s the magic of this strain.

I used a 20L pot with light soil and gave it full sun. I didn’t top it, just gently bent the branches with LST. By week 8, the buds started forming, and the smell became noticeable—but still mild, like dried herbs with a hint of citrus.

The high? Super balanced. Not too cerebral, not too stony. Perfect for a sunny afternoon with friends, reading, or just chilling. I got about 55 grams from one plant—solid for its size. I’ve since recommended it to dozens of city growers who want to fly under the radar. It’s not the biggest yielder, but it’s one of the smartest grows you can do.
