Ever feel like your grow space is overflowing with half-used nutrient bottles, complex feeding schedules, and plants that need a calendar to track?

Simplify your life and your grow. The Goliat Auto is your all-in-one solution: a robust, autoflowering plant that thrives on straightforward care, letting you focus on the fun part—enjoying the fruits of your labor.

Less Gear, More Green

Forget juggling multiple strains with different needs. Goliat Auto streamlines your entire operation. Its autoflowering genetics mean no light schedule changes—just set it to 18/6 or 20/4 and forget it. This plant's inherent resilience and moderate feeding requirements mean you can ditch the complex nutrient cocktails. A solid base nutrient and a simple bloom booster are all it takes to see her thrive, freeing up your time and shelf space.

What You Simplify with Goliat Auto

Once you have Goliat Auto in your tent, you can streamline your entire process:

• Lighting Schedules: No more flipping timers or worrying about light leaks disrupting a photoperiod.
• Veg/Flower Nutrients: Use a simple, balanced autoflower feed from start to finish instead of separate veg and bloom formulas.
• Training Stress: Its natural structure is open and productive, reducing the need for aggressive LST or SCROG nets.
• Grow Timeline Anxiety: Know exactly when you'll be smoking—in about 10 weeks—no guessing.
• Phenotype Hunting: Get consistent, Skunk-dominant plants every time without popping a pack of regular seeds.

How to Build a Minimalist Setup Around Goliat Auto

Ready to declutter? Here's your plan:

1. Clear the Deck: Assess your current gear. Put away the photoperiod-specific nutrients and complex additives.
2. Choose Your Essentials: Grab a quality, well-draining substrate like our Premium Coco Substrate, a simple two-part autoflower nutrient, and a reliable pH meter.
3. Plant with Confidence: Germinate your Goliat Auto seed directly in its final 15–20 L (3.96–5.28 gal) pot to avoid transplant stress.
4. Set & Forget the Lights: Run your LED or CFL lights on an 18/6 schedule for the entire grow.
5. Feed Lightly, Watch Closely: Start with a low EC and increase gradually. Her resilience means she forgives the occasional slip-up.
6. Support the Stretch: As flowers form, use simple plant yoyos or a light trellis net for support if needed.
7. Harvest on Schedule: Around week 10, when trichomes are milky with some amber, she's ready. Dry, cure, and enjoy your simplified success.

Advantages of a Streamlined Grow

Choosing a straightforward strain like Goliat Auto pays off:

• Fewer Decisions: One light schedule, one feeding strategy.
• Faster Turnaround: Multiple harvests per year in the same space.
• Lower Running Costs: Less time under lights and fewer nutrients used.
• Reduced Risk: Less time in veg means less opportunity for pests or issues to develop.
• Pure Enjoyment: More time appreciating your plants, less time managing them.

How to Grow Goliat Auto Seeds

Get your Goliat Auto from seed to smoke in 10 weeks with this simple plan.

Quick Overview: An easy, Sativa-dominant autoflower perfect for beginners or growers seeking a fast, flavorful harvest with minimal fuss.

Safe Start & Seedling Stage:

• Germinate in a warm, humid environment (22–25°C).
• For best results, plant directly into its final 15–20 L pot to avoid stunting.
• Use a light seedling nutrient or a root stimulator like Tarantula to encourage strong early development.

Vegetative Growth & Early Flowering:

• Provide 18-20 hours of light daily throughout its life.
• Water when the top inch of substrate is dry; she prefers not to sit in soggy soil.
• She exhibits good natural structure, but gentle Low-Stress Training (LST) can optimize light penetration.

Flowering & Ripening:

• Flowers will start forming automatically around weeks 3-4.
• Maintain good airflow and lower humidity to around 40-50% to prevent bud rot.
• As buds swell, consider a PK booster like Advanced PK to enhance density and resin production in the final weeks.

Harvest & Post-Harvest:

• Harvest when trichomes are mostly milky with 10-20% amber for a balanced effect.
• Flush with plain pH'd water for the last 7-10 days.
• Dry slowly in a dark space at 18-22°C and 50-60% RH for 10-14 days, then cure for at least 2 weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Goliat Auto really "enough" for an experienced grower?

Absolutely. While simple to grow, its potent effects and classic Skunk flavor profile offer serious satisfaction. It's a reliable, high-quality choice for any grower who values efficiency and great results.

What's the best way to maximize yield with Goliat Auto?

Give her root space from the start (final pot directly), provide consistent light (18-20 hours), and don't overfeed. Her vigor does the rest. Gentle LST can help, but avoid topping or other high-stress techniques.

How does the smell during grow compare to other Skunks?

It's sweet and citric like lemon candy during growth, with the classic earthy Skunk funk becoming more pronounced in late flower. A carbon filter is recommended for discretion.

Personal Experience of Pevgrow’s CEO (Alan)

I've run Goliat Auto a few times when I want a no-nonsense, fast harvest that I know will hit the spot. It's my go-to recommendation for friends who are curious about growing but intimidated by the process. I pop the seed straight into a 20 L pot of light mix, under a 600W LED on 18/6, and feed it with a simple two-part autoflower schedule. The plant just gets on with it—strong stem, good spacing, and those fat, resinous buds start stacking quickly. The smell in the tent is unmistakably sweet Skunk, a real classic. The high is exactly what I look for after a long day: a clear-headed, creative buzz that slowly melts into a deep body relaxation without being couch-locking. It's not the most complex flavor on the market, but it's honest, potent, and incredibly reliable. My main tip? Don't overcomplicate it. She rewards simplicity.
