Are you stuck with bland, low-yielding autoflowers that taste like hay and leave you couch-locked?

You’ve tried the cheap seeds—weak flavors, spindly plants, harvests that barely fill a jar. You spend weeks nursing them, only to end up with popcorn buds and a high that crashes hard. It’s frustrating, wasteful, and honestly, it kills the joy of growing.

What if your autoflower actually delivered top-shelf flavor, big yields, and a high that keeps you moving?

Imagine opening your tent and being hit with the scent of wild strawberries and cream. Picture frosty, purple-kissed buds so dense they bend the branches. Now imagine harvesting 600 grams per square meter without advanced skills—just solid basics and a strain that wants to succeed. That’s not a dream. That’s Ztrawberriez Auto.

And the high? It’s the kind that makes chores fun and conversations flow. You stay clear-headed, uplifted, and just creative enough to start that side project you’ve been putting off.

Step-by-step growing guide

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Ztrawberriez Auto good for beginners?

Yes, it’s ideal for beginners. It’s forgiving, grows fast, and doesn’t need advanced techniques. Just keep it watered, fed lightly, and give it light—she’ll reward you.

Does it always turn purple?

No, not all phenotypes turn purple. Some show vibrant magenta and lilac hues, especially in cooler nights, but it’s not guaranteed. The color depends on genetics and environment.

Absolutely. Ztrawberriez Auto thrives in hot conditions and handles temperatures up to 38 °C (100.4 °F). Just ensure it gets enough water and shade during peak heat.

Very strong. It smells like a bakery full of berry desserts. Use a carbon filter indoors to stay discreet. Outdoors, plant it away from neighbors or use odor-masking companion plants.

Can I use LST on this strain?

Yes, LST is highly recommended. Gently bend the branches early to open up the canopy, improve airflow, and increase light exposure to lower bud sites—just avoid snapping stems.

Personal Experience of Pevgrow’s CEO (Alan)

I grew Ztrawberriez Auto in my 1.2 m² (12.92 ft²) tent under 600W LED, 18/6 cycle. Planted in 20L pots with Plagron Alga Mix and the Hesi Starter Pack, I started LST at week 3. By week 6, the plant was wide and bushy, with colas forming on every node. I added P-Boost at week 5 and kept RH at 45% in late flower. At 68 days, I harvested 578 grams (20.39 oz) of frosty, purple-tinged buds. The smell was insane—like strawberry jam and citrus. After curing, the high was smooth, uplifting, and lasted over two hours. Perfect for writing, editing, or just chilling with friends. This one’s a keeper.
