Growing Tips for Blueberry Auto
Blueberry Auto is a super-easy strain to grow and can be brought to fruition by first-time and novice growers with minimal issues. Blueberry Auto marijuana plants will thrive both indoors and outdoors, but have an easier time growing indoors because of the grower’s ability to control the climate. If you choose to grow indoors, you will have to replicate a steady environment similar to the climate of California in the summer. Blueberry Auto produces plants that are vibrant and purple with hints of green and white beneath the crystal resin trichomes. You can get a whiff of the pungent aroma of this strain without ever touching the buds. The plants are fragrant long before you harvest the buds. If you are going to grow outdoors, you will need to maintain a consistent temperature and humidity to get these plants to harvest. Having access to a greenhouse is the best way to give these plants the perfect outdoor climate they require without having to put up with unexpected outdoor variables. These plants grow short in height and can reach around 2 to 4 feet tall when grown correctly. Because of the small stature of these plants, you can grow them in a variety of different smaller grow setups, such as closet grows and on balconies. The ideal temperature for these plants is around 65-80 degrees Fahrenheit. Humidity levels should be kept at 30-70% during the vegetative growth stage and the flowering stage. Growing indoors will ensure that the high humidity levels and temperature are maintained every day that the plants are in the growing stages. Low-stress training (LST) is the best training technique for this specific strain. This method will adjust the plant’s canopy so that the lower levels of the plant get ample light and air. The Blueberry Auto strain requires an 18-hour light cycle to reach the vegetative stage of growth. You do not need to change the light cycle to induce the flowering stage. Because this strain is an autoflowering variety, it will hit the flowering stage on its own.
Yields, Flowering Time, and Harvest
- Flowering Time: Growing indoors, you can expect the Blueberry Auto strain to harvest after a short flowering period of 50-60 days.
- Yields: While Indoor yields are around 400 grams per square meter, outdoor grows typically produce up to 380 grams per plant. With a short flowering time and autoflowering properties of this strain, the yields are actually quite impressive.
- Harvest: Outdoor growers can plan on harvesting their yields around the beginning of October, depending on when the seeds were planted.
Blueberry Auto: Sweet Fruity Blueberries
The Blueberry Auto terpene profile is directly responsible for how the plant smells and tastes, and the strong effects it has on its users. The most dominant terpene in this strain is caryophyllene, while myrcene, pinene, and humulene are the secondary terpenes.
- Caryophyllene: Most Dominant – Spicy and peppery, this terpene is found in cinnamon and black pepper as well as some cannabis cultivars.
- Myrcene: Secondary Terpene – The “Mother of all Terpenes”, myrcene gives cannabis its earthy flavor and aroma. Myrcene can be found in several cannabis strains.
- Pinene: Pine Needles – Found in cannabis plants as well as pine needles and conifer trees, this terpene is responsible for the strain’s pine-like notes.
- Humulene: Hoppy Beer – Humulene is a terpene that is mostly found in beer with high hop content. When found in cannabis strains, it produces an earthy smell and taste.
The buds finished deep purple with hints of green still visible underneath, all coated heavily in resin, genuinely striking to look at up close.
What stood out most about this grow was how tolerant the plant proved to be of my own timing mistakes, a later-than-ideal repotting didn’t slow it down the way I expected given how fast autoflowers usually move through their cycle. It also stayed in a semi-vegetative state longer than I anticipated, still adding leafy growth even as flower began, a nice quirk I hadn’t seen before. Structurally it stayed compact, true to its shorter reputation, though I understand outdoor growers can coax considerably more height out of it with training. Flowering wrapped up close to nine weeks. The aroma was genuinely unexpected, flowery and sweet rather than the skunky punch I associate with most strains, noticeable in the air well before harvest. Color developed into deep purple under a heavy resin coat. Curing brought the flavor into true blueberry territory. First smoke was heavy and deeply calming, best reserved for evening.
This strain’s whole vibe is ‘unbothered by your mistakes and your schedule,’ tolerated a late repotting fine, kept growing leafy well into flower like deadlines were a suggestion. Stayed compact indoors, true to reputation. Flowering took close to nine weeks. Smell skipped the skunky memo entirely, sweet and flowery instead. Color deep purple, heavily resinous. Curing brought out true blueberry sweetness. First smoke was heavy and relaxing. Ten out of ten, would test it again.
Stayed compact indoors, as advertised, unlike some strains that lie about their eventual height. Smell was sweet and flowery, genuinely confusing given the usual reputation for skunk.
Made the classic mistake of repotting late, a genuine autoflower sin given how fast they grow, and this plant just shrugged it off completely. Also kept adding leafy growth well past when it should have committed fully to flowering, very indecisive of it. Stayed compact the whole grow, true to its reputation. Flowering ran close to nine weeks. Smell was the real plot twist here, sweet and flowery instead of skunky, like it forgot what strain it was supposed to be. Color came in deep purple, heavily resinous. Curing turned it into real blueberry sweetness. First smoke was heavy and relaxing. No notes, would grow again, mostly to see if the no-skunk thing happens every time.
First smoke had this heavy, settling quality that made the rest of my evening feel genuinely restful, such a nice choice for winding down.
What really surprised me about this grow was how little my timing mistakes seemed to matter, a later-than-ideal repotting didn’t slow this plant down at all. It also kept building leafy growth well into flower, which I found genuinely interesting to watch happen. Stayed compact indoors, true to its shorter reputation, though outdoor growers apparently coax a lot more height out of it with training. Flowering wrapped up close to nine weeks. The smell was genuinely unexpected, sweet and flowery rather than skunky, noticeable well before the buds were ready. Color developed into deep purple under heavy resin. Curing brought the flavor into true blueberry territory. First smoke was heavy and deeply calming, perfect for winding down.
Structural demands were minimal overall, this cultivar requiring less active management than taller, more airflow-sensitive comparison strains grown concurrently.
This was a genuinely easy, rewarding grow overall, forgiving of small mistakes but still delivering dense, aromatic, deeply purple buds by the time harvest arrived.
Trichome coverage was heavy by harvest, giving the compact buds a genuinely frosted look that held up beautifully through the drying and curing process.
