Auto Strawberry Banana – Sweet, Fast & Easy Autoflower by DNA Genetics

Auto Strawberry Banana by DNA Genetics is a sweet, fast-finishing autoflower that delivers big flavor in a compact, beginner-friendly package—ready in just ~70 days from seed.

Struggling to find a strain that’s both easy to grow and actually tastes amazing? You’re not alone. Most autoflowers either grow like weeds but taste like hay, or they’re finicky divas that demand perfect conditions.

And if you’re growing in a small space or want to stay under the radar, tall, smelly plants are a no-go. You end up sacrificing flavor, yield, or sanity just to keep things simple.

That’s where Auto Strawberry Banana shines. Bred by the legendary DNA Genetics, it combines the iconic Strawberry Banana genetics with rugged autoflowering resilience—giving you a short, bushy plant that’s bursting with tropical terps and ready before you know it.

Why this autoflower is your new secret weapon

This isn’t just another fast-flowering novelty. Auto Strawberry Banana inherits the dense, resinous buds and sweet berry-banana aroma of its photoperiod parent, but in a stress-free, automatic format. It’s perfect for balconies, closets, or your first solo grow—no light schedules, no stress.

Key features and benefits in a nutshell

• Compact size – maxes out at 70–100 cm (27.56–39.37 in), ideal for tight spaces and stealth.

How to grow it in a few simple steps

Auto Strawberry Banana thrives with minimal intervention. Just give it light, water, and a decent pot—and it’ll do the rest.

1. Start seeds in a light, airy mix (like peat pellets) at 22–25°C (71.6–77°F) and high humidity.
2. Transplant once into a final pot of 18–20 L (4.76–5.28 gal) to avoid root disturbance.
3. Provide 18–20 hours of light daily from seed to harvest—no switching schedules needed.
4. Water lightly but consistently; let the top 2 cm (0.79 in) dry between sessions.
5. Harvest when ~70% of trichomes are milky with some amber for a balanced effect.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I grow Auto Strawberry Banana outdoors?

Yes! It’s perfect for Mediterranean or temperate climates with long summers. Plant after last frost; harvest around late summer/early autumn (Northern Hemisphere).

Do I need to prune it?

Avoid heavy pruning—it’s an autoflower. Light defoliation (removing lower shade leaves) is fine, but never top or FIM.

What pot size should I use?

Use a final pot of 18–20 L (4.76–5.28 gal) from the start. Autos hate transplant shock.

Is it mold-resistant?

It has moderate resistance. Ensure good airflow, especially in humid climates, and avoid overwatering in late flower.

Personal Experience of Pevgrow’s CEO (Alan)

I’ve grown dozens of autos, but Auto Strawberry Banana stands out for its flavor-to-effort ratio. I ran it in a 1m² (10.76 ft²) tent with a 200W LED, and it filled the space perfectly without stretching. The smell during flower was like a fruit smoothie—sweet but not skunky, so my neighbors never suspected a thing.

I used Mykos WP at transplant, and the roots exploded. By week 5, it was already showing fat calyxes. I didn’t even need to stake it. Harvested at day 71 with 80% milky trichomes, and the smoke was smooth, fruity, and deeply relaxing—exactly what I want after a long day. For beginners or anyone craving flavor without the fuss, this is a no-brainer.
