Auto Patrick Swayze – DNA Genetics Autoflowering Seeds with Tropical Punch & Resilient Growth

Auto Patrick Swayze by DNA Genetics is a resilient, fast-finishing autoflowering strain that packs a tropical punch and thrives even in less-than-perfect conditions—perfect for growers who want flavor, ease, and discretion in one compact plant.

Struggling with finicky photoperiod strains that demand perfect light cycles and constant attention? You’re not alone. Many home growers waste weeks waiting, only to end up with stressed plants, weak yields, or zero harvest because one tiny mistake derailed the whole grow.

That uncertainty, wasted time, and frustration? It kills the joy of growing. You just want something reliable that actually finishes—and tastes amazing—without needing a PhD in horticulture.

Enter Auto Patrick Swayze: a no-nonsense autoflower bred by the legendary DNA Genetics. It skips the drama, flowers automatically, and delivers dense, aromatic buds in under 10 weeks from seed—all while staying short enough to tuck into tight indoor tents or balcony corners.

What it feels like to grow and smoke Auto Patrick Swayze

From the moment those first true leaves unfurl, you’ll notice its sturdy structure and vibrant green hue—no yellowing, no stretching panic. Indoors, it stays compact (under 1 m), making it a stealth champion for autoflowering setups where space is tight. Outdoors, it laughs off minor temperature swings and finishes before autumn rains hit.

Smoking it? Think ripe mango, citrus zest, and a hint of earthy spice—smooth on the inhale, uplifting but grounded. It’s the kind of smoke that makes you grin, not couch-lock you. Perfect for a sunny afternoon chill or a creative evening session.

How to squeeze the experience to the max

Maximize flavor and yield with smart, simple tweaks—no advanced skills needed.

• Start in its final pot (18–20 L / 4.75–5.3 gal) to avoid transplant shock.
• Use 20 hours of light daily from seed to harvest—no switching needed.
• Keep nutrients light; autos hate overfeeding. Start at ¼ strength.
• Avoid topping or heavy pruning—it stresses autos and slows growth.
• Flush for 7–10 days before harvest for cleaner, smoother smoke.
• Dry slowly at 18–22°C (64–72°F) and 55% RH to preserve terpenes.
• Cure in glass jars for 2+ weeks—your nose (and lungs) will thank you.

Advantages and benefits in your day-to-day life

• Fast 9–10 week cycle means harvests in record time—no endless waiting.
• Compact size (0.70–1.00 m / 2.30–3.28 ft) fits discreet indoor or outdoor spots.
• Low nutrient needs reduce cost and risk of overfeeding mistakes.
• Automatic flowering removes light-schedule stress—ideal for beginners.
• Tropical terpene profile delivers a flavorful, mood-lifting experience.

How it fits with other products in your set-up

Auto Patrick Swayze plays well with light, organic feeding schedules. Pair it with airy substrates like Coco Kaya 50L for optimal root oxygenation. During flowering, a gentle PK booster like PK 13/14 can enhance bud density without overwhelming this sensitive auto.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Auto Patrick Swayze good for beginners?

Absolutely. Its autoflowering nature, low nutrient needs, and compact size make it one of the most forgiving strains for first-time growers.

Can I grow it on a balcony?

Yes! Its short height and fast finish (ready by late summer in the Northern Hemisphere) make it ideal for discreet outdoor grows in urban spaces.

Does it need a lot of nutrients?

No—autos are light feeders. Overfeeding is the #1 mistake. Start with ¼ strength and increase only if signs of deficiency appear.

When should I harvest for the best flavor?

Harvest when 70–80% of trichomes are milky with some amber. This preserves the tropical terpenes while offering a smooth, balanced effect.

Personal Experience of Pevgrow’s CEO (Alan)

I grew Auto Patrick Swayze last summer in a 20L fabric pot on my Madrid terrace—no tent, no fancy gear. It handled 35°C (95°F) days like a champ and finished in 68 days. The buds were dense, smelled like a fruit stand, and smoked incredibly smooth. What blew me away was how little I had to do: water, light feed, and wait. Compared to photoperiods that need constant babysitting, this auto felt like cheating. My tip? Don’t prune it—just let it bush out naturally. And always flush; the flavor difference is night and day.
