Purple Skunk Auto by Sensi Seeds – 75% Indica Autoflower with Purple Buds & Skunky Aroma

Purple Skunk Auto by Sensi Seeds is a powerful 75% indica autoflower that packs a punch with massive yields, a skunky earthy aroma, and deeply relaxing effects—all in just 8 weeks from seed to harvest.

Struggling to grow quality weed without a green thumb? You're not alone. Many growers waste time and money on finicky plants that barely produce or reek of chemicals. The stress of managing light cycles, pruning mistakes, or mold outbreaks can turn your dream grow into a headache.

Now imagine a plant that practically grows itself—no light schedule changes, no sexing, no fuss. A strain that thrives even in cooler climates and rewards you with heavy, resinous buds that glow purple under the right conditions. That’s the reality with Purple Skunk Auto.

Massive Yields Without the Stress

Whether you're tight on space or just want a no-drama harvest, this autoflower delivers. Indoors, expect up to 550 g/m² (1.94 oz/ft²), and outdoors, each plant can produce up to 350 g (12.35 oz). Its compact, conical structure makes it perfect for stealth grows on balconies or in small tents. And thanks to its resistance to mold and pests, you won’t lose sleep over sudden outbreaks.

How to Grow Purple Skunk Auto for Best Results

Get the most out of your Purple Skunk Auto with these simple steps:

1. Start with a 4–7 L pot and transplant early to a final 18–27 L (0.5–1 ft³) container to avoid root stress.
2. Use well-aerated soil or coco; consider adding Plagron Top Grow Box Soil for balanced nutrition from day one.
3. Keep light cycles at 18–20 hours daily—no switching needed.
4. Watch for purple hues in cooler temps (below 15°C / 59°F); this boosts anthocyanin production.
5. Avoid topping or aggressive pruning—autoflowers don’t recover well from stress.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Purple Skunk Auto really turn purple?

Yes, especially when grown in cooler temperatures (below 15°C / 59°F). The cold triggers anthocyanin production, giving buds a striking purple hue.

How easy is it for beginners?

Extremely easy. It’s forgiving, autoflowers on its own, and resists common issues like mold and pests—perfect for first-time growers.

Can I grow it outdoors in a hot climate?

It prefers cooler conditions, but can handle heat if given shade and proper airflow. Just don’t expect the same purple coloration.

What’s the best way to maximize yield?

Use a 20–27 L pot, provide strong light (600–1000W LED), and avoid pruning. Consider adding Piranha by Advanced Nutrients early to boost root mass and nutrient uptake.

Personal Experience of Pevgrow’s CEO (Alan)

I grew Purple Skunk Auto on my balcony in Barcelona last summer—hot days, cool nights. I used 20 L pots with Plagron AlgaMix and a 600W LED. Germination was 100% across 5 seeds. By week 3, they were already showing pre-flowers. No topping, just light LST to open up the canopy. At harvest, I got around 280 g per plant—dense, sticky, and two of them turned a gorgeous violet. The high was smooth, deeply relaxing, and lasted for hours. I’d smoke it while reading or watching movies. My only tip? Don’t overfeed—this strain shows nutrient burn fast. Otherwise, it’s a bulletproof auto that delivers every time.
