Words & Pics: Green Born Identity – G.B.I.
Ellis D. is fond of autos. He prefers to be on the move by bicycle, not the metal ones for driving. What he does like is auto cannabis strains. In contrast to his pal The Doc, whose somewhat cynical motto regarding cannabis is “autos belong into a dark garage.”
Well, whatever one may think of automatically flowering cannabis stains – they come with some benefits that cannot be argued away. And since, in general, auto versions of highly potent trend strains are much more than a pale decal of these, people like Ellis D. can confidently place an auto plant into their grow cabinet (in his case, a model from Growfor. life) and go for a relaxed automated grow ride.
Speaking of The Doc – Ellis D. knew about this grower legend that he once had cultivated Barney’s Farm’s “Tangerine Dream” strain with raving success and as luck would have it recently, another friend of Ellis D. happened to have gotten himself a seed package of their Tangerine Dream Auto and asked him whether he’d be keen to try one seed – boy, of course, he was! Barney’s Farm credits this auto version with basically the same characteristics the original plants feature: thick, juicy flower clusters imbued with sweet citrusy notes, a mentally stimulating yet physically relaxing effect, and high yields (up to 500g/m2). The THC count of the sativa-dominant (60%) plants naturally is a bit lower than with the full-blooded Tangerine Dream variety, and its CBD count is somewhat higher, which results in a slightly more subdued consumption experience. Final plant sizes come out at about 60-70 cm, and their life cycle from germination to maturation takes only 70-75 days.
