A-10 Auto

A-10 Auto: Hash and Earth

A-10 Auto seeds grow into medium to tall plants with massive buds and long green leaves. Even though the leaves on this plant are large, the buds are even bigger. Covered in crystal resin trichomes, you would be hard-pressed to find a dustier bud in the cannabis community. Complete with yellow pistils growing out of the buds, this strain releases a skunky and kushy aroma that you can smell long before you ever lay eyes on the plant. The harvested nuggets are dense and dank and full of flavor. Breaking them apart will make your fingertips sticky with resin, but most cannabis users and growers appreciate that stickiness. There isn’t a lot of information about the awards this strain has won, meaning it hasn’t taken home any note-worthy awards like Cannabis Cups or High Life Cups. It does have a lot of positive reviews online which add to its popularity among cultivators.

Growing Tips for Our Seeds

A-10 Auto performs really well outdoors as it has the freedom and room to grow. Indoors, the strain requires a steady temperature and humidity to thrive. This strain is grown best by experienced cultivators, so first-timers should tread lightly. If you are trying to reproduce the strain’s original environment, you will need ample sunlight, fresh air, soil with tons of nutrients, and a constant temperature that doesn’t get too low at night. If you can meet these requirements, then you should have a hefty yield of resin-covered buds come harvest time.

Dial in Your Growing Conditions

• Indoor or Outdoor: A-10 Auto marijuana can be grown indoors and outdoors by experienced growers. The desired temperature for this strain is between 70-80 degrees Fahrenheit. This strain requires 18 hours of light during the vegetative stage. You do not need to change the light cycle to induce the flowering stage as this strain is auto flowering and will do that on its own. Steady light will get it through the flowering stage and into harvest.
•  Moisture control: Humidity levels of approximately 40-60% during the vegetative phase, gradually decreasing to 40% or lower during the flowering stage. This change in humidity will help keep mold and bud rot off of your plants.
• Training Techniques: Low-stress training (LST) is the best option for this specific strain as it will help light and air circulate to the lowest branches of the plant. This method will increase yields and provide you with bigger, better buds come harvest time.

Yields, Flowering Time, and Harvest

• Flowering Time: Growing indoors, you can expect the A-10 Auto strain to harvest after a short flowering period of 50-60 days. If you have cultivated your plants outdoors then you can expect a harvest in late September or early October.
• Yields: While Indoor yields are around 400 grams per square meter, outdoor grows typically produce up to 450 grams per plant. When you harvest A-10 Auto, you will be left with potent nuggets with a high THC content. These yield figures are great, considering the short flowering time required to get to harvest.

Dominant Cannabinoids in A-10 Auto:

Cannabinoids play an important role in A-10 Auto seeds and are generally a huge part of most strains of cannabis. That creative, relaxed, and euphoric feeling you get when enjoying the A-10 Auto strain is due to its dominant cannabinoids. Each cannabinoid does something different to the user.

• THC: The Main Character – THC is the most dominant cannabinoid on the molecular level of this strain. The crystalline compound tetrahydrocannabinol is the main ingredient of cannabis. Topping out at 21%, the THC in this Indica-dominant strain is responsible for the euphoric and relaxed feeling you get when enjoying A-10 Auto cannabis.

The CBD in the A-10 Auto strain, even in its lower amounts, definitely has a positive effect on the user.
