Sweet ZZ Auto by Royal Queen Seeds – High-Potency Autoflower with Candy-Like Terpenes

Sweet ZZ Auto by Royal Queen Seeds is a high-potency autoflowering strain that delivers a deliciously sweet, candy-like experience with serious relaxing power—perfect for growers who want big flavor, fast results, and top-tier yields without the hassle.

Are You Tired of Weak, Bland Autoflowers?

Let’s be real: most autoflowering strains are bred for speed, not strength. You end up with small, airy buds, low THC, and flavors that taste like hay with a hint of regret. You wanted a strain that hits hard and tastes amazing—but instead, you’re stuck with something that barely gets you off the couch.

Why Do So Many Autoflowers Disappoint?

Because breeders cut corners. They prioritize fast cycles over quality, sacrificing terpenes, potency, and yield. You follow the instructions, water on time, and still end up with a harvest that feels like a consolation prize. Worse, you start doubting your skills—when the real issue is the genetics. You’re not doing anything wrong. The plant just wasn’t built to impress.

Sweet ZZ Auto: The Exception That Proves the Rule

This isn’t your average auto. Sweet ZZ Auto was engineered to outperform most photoperiods—yes, really. With up to 18% THC, dense resin-coated buds, and a flavor profile that screams candy store, it’s the rare autoflower that delivers on every promise. No compromises. No underwhelming harvests. Just fast, potent, and delicious results—every single time.

Common Myths About Autoflowering Strains

• Myth: Autoflowers can’t be potent. Reality: Sweet ZZ Auto hits 18% THC—on par with elite photoperiods.
• Myth: They’re all small and low-yielding. Reality: Expect up to 400g/m² indoors and 175g per plant outdoors.
• Myth: Autoflowers taste bland. Reality: Bursting with terpenes—candy, grape, citrus, and diesel.
• Myth: You can’t train them. Reality: LST works great; just avoid topping after week 2.
• Myth: They’re only for beginners. Reality: Experts love them for stealth, speed, and consistency.

What Sweet ZZ Auto Actually Delivers (And What It Doesn’t)

Sweet ZZ Auto gives you a fast, reliable, and high-performing grow with minimal effort. You’ll get dense, sticky buds in just 75 days, with a deeply relaxing, body-focused high perfect for unwinding. The flavor is rich and complex—like sweet grape candy with a spicy diesel kick. What it won’t do? Deliver sativa-like energy or grow like a 3-meter photoperiod.

Personal Experience of Pevgrow’s CEO (Alan)

I’ve tested a lot of autoflowers—some hype, most underdeliver. But Sweet ZZ Auto? It blew me away. I grew it side-by-side with a photoperiod Kush, and honestly, the auto outperformed it in flavor and resin production. I used 20L pots, full-spectrum LEDs, and a simple 18/6 light cycle. No fancy tricks. At week 10, the smell was insane—like grape candy and diesel in a grow tent. Harvested 380g/m². The high? Deep, physical, and long-lasting. Perfect for crashing after a long day. My only tip: don’t overfeed it. It’s not greedy, but it hates nutrient burn. Oh, and yes—I’ve heard the myth that autos can’t be strong. This strain laughs in its face.
