Auto Melonade Runtz by Dutch Passion – XL Hybrid Yield in 11 Weeks · Fast Autoflowering Strain

Auto Melonade Runtz by Dutch Passion is a potent, fast-flowering autoflower that delivers XL yields of frosty, terpene-rich buds in just 11 weeks, perfect for growers who want big results without the wait.

Are you tired of weak autoflowers with bland flavor?

Most autoflowering strains sacrifice potency or taste for speed, leaving you with mediocre harvests and forgettable highs. You end up with small, airy buds that don't smell like anything special and barely get you off the couch.

Wasting time and space on plants that underdeliver?

It’s frustrating when your grow space is taken up by plants that stretch too much, need constant pruning, or collapse under their own weight. You invest weeks of care only to get a tiny yield that doesn’t justify the effort, especially if you're working with limited room or a tight schedule.

Auto Melonade Runtz delivers big flavor, big resin, and big yields—fast

This Dutch Passion hybrid solves it all: a compact, robust plant that packs on dense, trichome-covered buds with a complex creamy-fruity aroma and THC levels up to 25%. It grows easily in any setup, from small indoor tents to outdoor patios, and is ready to harvest in just 11 weeks with no light cycle changes needed.

Experience a creamy, fruity high that lifts your mood and melts your stress

With Auto Melonade Runtz, you’re not just growing buds—you’re cultivating an experience. The high starts bright and energetic, perfect for sparking creativity or enjoying a sunny afternoon, then smoothly transitions into a relaxing body buzz that unwinds your muscles without locking you to the couch. The flavor is a delicious blend of sweet melon, creamy dough, and a hint of citrus, making every hit a treat for your senses.

How to grow Auto Melonade Runtz for maximum yield and flavor

1. Start with a 30L pot (like a PEV Seeds Smart Pot) to give roots room to thrive and prevent stress.
2. Use a light mix of soil and coco (50/50) for optimal drainage and root health.
3. Keep a stable 20/4 light cycle; no switching needed—this auto thrives on consistency.
4. Feed gently during veg, then boost with a flowering booster like Top Max BioBizz in mid-bloom for denser buds.
5. Stop feeding in the final week and flush with plain water to enhance taste and smoothness.
6. Avoid topping or aggressive training—this auto grows strong on its own.
7. Harvest when most trichomes are milky with a few amber ones for a balanced high.

Care, maintenance and storage

Keep humidity between 40–50% in flowering to prevent mold, especially with its dense buds. Ensure good airflow with oscillating fans and prune only large fan leaves if they block light. After harvest, dry slowly at 18–20 °C (64–68 °F) and 55–60% RH for 10–14 days, then cure in glass jars for 2–4 weeks to develop flavor.

• Use a root stimulator like HESI Root Complex during the first weeks for faster establishment.
• Avoid overwatering—let the top inch of soil dry between waterings.
• Store seeds in a cool, dark place (like a fridge) to maintain viability for years.

Personal Experience of Pevgrow’s CEO (Alan)

I grew Auto Melonade Runtz in my 1.2 x 1.2 m tent under a 250W LED, one plant per 30L Smart Pot. From day one, it showed explosive growth—by week 5, it was stretching hard and forming thick side branches. I didn’t top it, just used light LST to open up the canopy. The smell kicked in hard by week 7—sweet, sour candy, like a fruit gummy factory. I fed it with a basic coco schedule and added Top Max in week 9. Harvested at week 11: 108 grams of frosty, dense buds. The high hit fast—uplifting at first, then deeply relaxing. It’s now one of my top 3 autos. My only tip? Don’t overfeed—she’s greedy but sensitive. And wear gloves when trimming; she’s sticky as hell.
