Auto Overdose
Auto Overdose Strain Overview
Auto Overdose is a relatively rare autoflowering cannabis strain developed by the Spanish seed bank Kannabia. The strain was created by crossing their flagship strain Overdose with an autoflowering ruderalis variety, resulting in a potent hybrid that maintains the desirable characteristics of its photoperiod parent while gaining the autoflowering trait. This genetic combination produces plants that automatically transition from vegetative growth to flowering based on age rather than light cycle changes, making them suitable for growers seeking simplicity and speed.
The strain typically produces medium-sized plants with dense, resinous buds that exhibit a striking appearance. The flowers often display a mix of deep green and purple hues, complemented by vibrant orange pistils and a thick coating of trichomes. Auto Overdose is known for its robust growth pattern and relatively short life cycle, typically completing its entire growth process in 8-10 weeks from seed to harvest. The name 'Overdose' references the strain's potentially high THC content rather than any dangerous properties, though users should exercise caution with dosage due to its potency.
While not as widely documented as some mainstream strains, Auto Overdose has gained recognition among autoflower enthusiasts for its combination of potency and cultivation convenience. The strain represents the ongoing development of autoflowering genetics that aim to match or exceed the quality of traditional photoperiod varieties. Its limited commercial availability means most information comes from grower reports rather than extensive laboratory testing or widespread consumer experience.

Auto Overdose Strain Growing Information
Auto Overdose is considered a moderate-difficulty strain for cultivation. As an autoflower, it has a fixed life cycle of approximately 8-10 weeks from seed to harvest. Plants typically reach a height of 60-100cm indoors and slightly taller outdoors. The strain can be grown both indoors and outdoors, with indoor cultivation allowing better environmental control. Expected yields are moderate, typically 300-450g/m² indoors or 30-100g per plant outdoors. Special considerations include avoiding transplantation stress (direct sowing recommended), providing consistent light during vegetative growth (18-24 hours daily), and using light feeding schedules as autoflowers are sensitive to nutrient burn. The strain benefits from training techniques like Low Stress Training (LST) but generally doesn't respond well to high-stress techniques due to its limited recovery time.
