Frequently Asked Questions

It’s 75% indica and 25% sativa, making it a relaxing, body-focused hybrid perfect for unwinding after a long day.

How much yield can I expect outdoors?

Does it smell strong during flowering?

It has a moderate aroma — sweet and dessert-like. Use a carbon filter if discretion is a priority, especially in late flowering.

Use organic nutrients during flowering and flush 7–10 days before harvest. Slow drying at 18–20°C (64–68°F) and 55% RH preserves terpenes.

Personal Experience of Pevgrow’s CEO (Alan)

I first grew Strawberry Cheesecake Auto last summer in my backyard greenhouse — mostly to test its resilience. I didn’t baby it: irregular watering, no training, just basic soil and sunlight. And damn, it impressed me. The buds were dense, sticky as hell, and that strawberry-cheesecake smell filled the room when I opened the jar.

For beginners, this is a dream — it’s forgiving, fast, and doesn’t need fancy gear. But even as an experienced grower, I appreciate how it balances ease with quality. I’ve since run it in a SCROG setup with 20/4 lighting and saw yields jump to the top end of the range. The high is smooth, not couch-locking — perfect for chilling with friends or unwinding solo. If you want a strain that tastes gourmet but grows like a weed, this is it.
