Auto Power Plant by Dutch Passion – XL Sativa Autoflower with Heavy Yields & Classic 90s Flavor

Auto Power Plant by Dutch Passion is a legendary XL autoflower that brings the iconic Power Plant genetics into the modern era with heavy yields, high THC, and a smooth, energetic high — all in a 11–13 week cycle.

Still rolling mediocre weed with weak flavor and zero punch?

If your current strain lacks that bold, unmistakable character, you’re missing out on the full experience. Thin buds, low resin, and forgettable taste turn your session into just another smoke — not a moment.

Without a true powerhouse, you’re stuck with lackluster yields, inconsistent effects, and the constant worry of mold or stretch. It’s frustrating when your grow doesn’t deliver the quality you know is possible.

Meet Auto Power Plant — the autoflower that resurrects the legendary South African sativa in a fast, reliable, high-yielding format. With dense, elongated colas covered in trichomes, this strain delivers the earthy, spicy-pine flavor and soaring sativa high that defined the 90s Dutch coffee shop scene — now in an easy-to-grow auto.

What it feels like to grow and smoke Auto Power Plant

This isn’t just another autoflower — it’s a statement. From the first sprout, you’ll notice its vigorous stretch and strong branching, building into a towering plant up to 1.25 m (4.10 ft) tall. Indoors or out, it commands attention.

When cured, the buds explode with a complex aroma: earthy base notes, spicy pepper, floral hints of lilac, and a subtle citrus sweetness. The smoke is smooth, flavorful, and potent — no harshness, just pure sativa clarity. One hit and you’re transported back to the golden era of cannabis.

And the high? Instantly uplifting. It hits the mind first — focused, euphoric, creative — perfect for daytime use, gaming, or just vibing to music. As you consume more, it deepens into a relaxed, mellow buzz that keeps you smiling without locking you to the couch.

How to maximize your Auto Power Plant harvest

Auto Power Plant thrives when you work with its natural rhythm. Don’t rush it — the first 6–8 weeks are all about growth, with flowering kicking in late. Set it up right, and you’ll be rewarded with monster yields.

• Start in its final 18–27 L pot to avoid transplant stress
• Use Hesi StarterBox Hydro for balanced early nutrition
• Apply LST or main-lining in week 3–4 to control height
• Defoliate lightly in late veg for better light penetration
• Support heavy colas with soft ties as they develop
• Keep temperatures between 22–26 °C (71.6–78.8 °F) for optimal growth
• Harvest when 20–30% of trichomes turn amber for peak euphoria

Why Auto Power Plant fits perfectly in your grow setup

Whether you're running a soil-based indoor tent or a sunny outdoor patch, Auto Power Plant adapts. Its sativa vigor loves light — so pair it with strong LEDs or full sun exposure. It pairs especially well with Sensi Grow A+B during growth and a PK booster like Brutal Bloom in late flowering for maximum resin production.

For organic lovers, it responds beautifully to compost teas and mycorrhizae. And because it’s so resinous, it’s a top candidate for hash or rosin extraction — turning your harvest into concentrate gold.

Personal Experience of Pevgrow’s CEO (Alan)

I’ve grown Power Plant in photoperiod form for years — it’s a classic for a reason. When Dutch Passion released the autoflower version, I had to try it. I ran three plants in 25 L pots under 600W LEDs, 18/20 light cycle.

They stretched hard in the first two months — I had to use LST to keep them under 1.10 m (3.61 ft). No topping, just gentle bending. By week 10, the smell was incredible: earthy, spicy, with that unmistakable old-school vibe. I flushed for 10 days, harvested at 25% amber trichomes.

Dried and cured for three weeks — the buds were dense, frosty, and sticky as hell. The high is pure sativa energy: it gets me through long workdays, keeps me creative, and still lets me enjoy music or a walk without sedation. I’ve since grown it twice more — once outdoors in July, with similar results. If you love sativas and want a fast, high-yielding auto, this is your strain.
