Appearance of the plants

Lemon Cherry Cookies Auto grows into a compact, sturdy plant that usually reaches around 80–120 cm. Her indica side shows clearly in the short internodes, thick colas and broad fan leaves, giving her a strong shape without taking up a huge amount of space. As flowering moves along, the buds become dense, hard and very sticky, with plenty of resin covering the flowers. The colour is where this plant really steals the show. Deep purple tones can spread through the buds and leaves, with bright orange hairs adding a strong contrast. Grown in cooler conditions, those purple and violet shades can become even more striking. This is one of those plants where you can already tell something special is going on before you even get near the jar.

The taste & smell

The flavour of Lemon Cherry Cookies Auto is almost unfairly tasty. You get sweet cherry jam first, followed by sharp lemon and a creamy cookie note sitting underneath it all. The citrus side becomes stronger on the exhale, leaving a spicy, full flavour that hangs around after the smoke is gone. The breeder lists cherry, cookie, lemon and sweet notes as the main flavour profile, and that is a pretty good description of what makes this strain so easy to remember. It is sweet without being boring, sour without going too far, and creamy enough to round everything out. For anyone looking through cannabis seeds for a strong autoflower with a proper dessert and fruit profile, this one is a very tasty little troublemaker.

Effects

Lemon Cherry Cookies Auto can reach up to 28.5% THC, with CBD listed at less than 1%, so this compact plant has some serious strength behind it. The effect starts with an uplifting, clear-headed feeling before moving into a calmer and more relaxed body effect. Fast Buds describes the strain as relaxing, happy and creative, with some users also reporting sleepy and hungry feelings. That makes the effect nicely balanced for a 70% indica strain, rather than simply switching the lights off in your head. Of course, high-THC cannabis can hit people differently, so experienced users will know to respect the numbers. She may look like a small purple plant, but the smoke has much more muscle than her height suggests.

Growing characteristics/yield

Lemon Cherry Cookies Auto has a full life cycle of around 8 weeks from seed to harvest, making her an excellent choice when speed matters. Fast Buds lists indoor yields of 450–550 g/m² and outdoor yields of 60–200 g per plant. She can be grown indoors, outdoors, in a greenhouse or under mixed light, and her compact 80–120 cm size makes her especially useful where space is limited. These cannabis seeds are also a good fit for Sea of Green setups, where several smaller plants can make excellent use of the available space. The combination of fast growth, heavy flowers, strong resin production and deep colour makes this one of the most interesting modern autoflowers in the Fast Buds range. Small plant, quick finish, serious harvest. Not a bad deal at all.
