Auto Mass
Auto Mass
Also known as: Critical Mass Auto, Grass-O-Matic Auto Mass
Overview
Auto Mass is an autoflowering cannabis strain developed by Grass-O-Matic, representing the automatic version of the renowned Critical Mass strain. This hybrid strain is a cross between Critical Mass and Lowryder genetics, creating a ruderalis/indica/sativa variety that maintains the potent characteristics of its photoperiod parent while offering the convenience of automatic flowering. The strain was bred as part of Grass-O-Matic's initiative to provide large, autoflowering plants that deliver both quality and quantity in a shorter timeframe. Auto Mass inherits the massive bud production capability of Critical Mass, which gets its name from the tendency of branches to break under the weight of extremely dense flowers. The strain produces resin-covered buds that are primarily concentrated on the main stem, making it ideal for Sea of Green (SOG) cultivation methods. With its 80% indica and 20% sativa genetic makeup, Auto Mass delivers the relaxing body effects typical of indica-dominant strains while maintaining some cerebral stimulation from its sativa heritage. The autoflowering trait allows for multiple harvests per year and eliminates the need for light cycle management, making it accessible to novice growers while still appealing to experienced cultivators seeking consistent, high-quality yields.

Growing Information
Auto Mass is considered beginner-friendly with moderate growing difficulty. The strain completes its entire life cycle in approximately 70-75 days from germination, with flowering beginning automatically around week 3. Plants typically reach heights of 1.2-1.6 meters both indoors and outdoors, making them suitable for various growing environments. The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor settings, with indoor cultivation often preferred for better environmental control. For indoor grows, 9-12 plants per square meter in a SOG setup is recommended to maximize the central cola production. The plants require support during flowering due to the heavy, dense buds that can cause branches to snap. Auto Mass is resistant to fungi despite its Critical Mass genetics, making it more suitable for humid conditions than its photoperiod parent. The strain prefers Mediterranean-like climates when grown outdoors and can produce multiple harvests per year in warmer regions. Yields are typically high for an autoflower, with dense, resin-coated buds being the main feature.
