Personal Experience of Pevgrow’s CEO (Alan)

I’ve tested dozens of autoflowers, but Papaya Cookies Auto™ stands out. I grew it in a 20 L pot under a 600W LED with 18/6 lighting. From day one, it showed vigorous growth—stretching hard in week 3, which I controlled with SCROG. By week 7, the smell was unreal: sweet papaya and baked goods filling the room. I harvested at 9 weeks when most trichomes were milky with a hint of amber. The yield? 510 g/m² of dense, frosty buds. The high is clean and uplifting—perfect for daytime creativity. I’ve since recommended it to friends growing for concentrates, and they’ve all been blown away by the resin. If you want an autoflower that performs like a photoperiod, this is it.
