Sleepy Yoda Auto by Philosopher Seeds – Fast, High-Yielding Autoflowering Strain for Easy Growing

Sleepy Yoda Auto by Philosopher Seeds is a fast, potent autoflowering strain that delivers up to 600 g/m² of dense, THC-rich buds in just 60–65 days, making it perfect for growers who want high yields without the hassle.

Struggling with long waits and weak yields?

Most autoflowering strains promise speed but end up delivering mediocre results — small, airy buds, low potency, or inconsistent performance. You invest time and space only to be disappointed when harvest time comes.

What happens when your plants underperform?

You’re left with weak effects, poor flavour, and a grow that feels like a waste of light, nutrients and energy. You start questioning whether it was worth it — especially if you're tight on space or growing discreetly. The frustration builds when you realize you could’ve chosen a strain that actually delivers.

The solution: Sleepy Yoda Auto, a powerhouse in disguise

This isn’t just another fast strain — it’s a yield monster with serious genetics. Bred from White Yoda Auto and a high-performing Northern Lights, Sleepy Yoda Auto packs up to 18% THC and produces compact, resin-coated buds that bring a deeply relaxing, narcotic high. It’s designed to thrive in any setup, from small indoor tents to guerrilla outdoor grows, and it finishes fast — 60 to 65 days from seed to harvest.

How Sleepy Yoda Auto maximizes your yield in record time

Thanks to its Northern Lights heritage, this strain develops tight, heavy colas that swell during the final weeks of flowering. Indoors, it reaches 80–110 cm (2.62–3.61 ft) and produces 500–600 g/m² under a 20/4 light cycle. Outdoors, each plant can deliver 125–150 g (4.41–5.29 oz), especially when planted in a 20 L pot and exposed to full sun. Its autoflowering nature means no light cycle changes — just plant and watch it grow.

Simple steps to grow Sleepy Yoda Auto like a pro

1. Germinate your seeds in a moist paper towel or directly in a starter cube at 22–25 °C.
2. Transplant into your final pot (18–27 L recommended) once roots emerge.
3. Place under 18–20 hours of light daily — no switching needed.
4. Water when the topsoil feels dry and maintain pH between 6.0–6.5 (soil) or 5.8–6.2 (coco).
5. Harvest when trichomes turn milky to amber — usually around day 65.

Personal Experience of Pevgrow’s CEO (Alan)

I grew Sleepy Yoda Auto in my small balcony setup last summer, and I was blown away by how fast and dense the buds came in. I used 20 L pots with a coco-coir mix and kept the light cycle at 20/4. By day 63, the trichomes were milky with a hint of amber — perfect for that heavy, relaxing high. I didn’t top it, just did light LST to open up the canopy, and it responded like a champ. The Northern Lights genetics really shine through: sweet, musky aroma, and buds so dense they bent the stems. I’d recommend it to anyone who wants a no-fuss, high-reward autoflower — especially if you’re short on time or space.
