Original Auto Russian: Speed, Strength, and Sweetness in One Package

Common Myths About Fast Autoflowering Strains

• Myth: Fast strains are weak. Reality: Original Auto Russian packs up to 20% THC and a potent, balanced high.
• Myth: Autoflowers don’t taste good. Reality: Expect sweet cherry, fruity tart, and earthy notes with a creamy finish.
• Myth: They’re low-yielding. Reality: You can harvest up to 500 g/m² indoors under optimal conditions.
• Myth: They’re fragile. Reality: This strain resists pests, mold, and harsh weather like a champ.
• Myth: No training possible. Reality: Low-stress techniques like LST boost yields without stressing the plant.

What Original Auto Russian Really Delivers (And What It Doesn’t)

This strain delivers speed, resilience, and a smooth, flavorful experience—perfect for evening relaxation or creative downtime. It won’t knock you out like a heavy indica, nor will it send you bouncing off the walls like a pure sativa. Instead, it offers a balanced, uplifting chill that keeps your mind engaged while your body unwinds.

It won’t grow into a 2-meter giant or survive complete neglect, but with basic care, it outperforms most autos in flavor, resin production, and consistency.

Personal Experience of Pevgrow’s CEO (Alan)

I’ve tested dozens of autoflowers, but Original Auto Russian stands out. I grew it in my 2x4 tent under a 300W LED, and it finished in exactly 63 days. The buds were dense, frosty, and smelled like sweet cherry pie. The high was smooth—uplifting at first, then deeply relaxing. I didn’t top it, just did light LST, and still got 480 g/m². It handled a minor heat spike without stress. If you want a fast, flavorful, and potent autoflower that doesn’t cut corners, this is it. No hype—just results.
