Auto Purple Sunset
Auto Purple Sunset
Also known as: Purple Sunset Auto, Sunset Purple Auto
Overview
Auto Purple Sunset is an autoflowering indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that represents a remarkable fusion of premium genetics combined with ruderalis for automatic flowering capabilities. This strain is the result of crossing two renowned cultivars: Purple Punch and Sunset Sherbet, with ruderalis genetics added to create an autoflowering version. The strain was developed by multiple breeders including Philosopher Seeds, Blimburn Seeds, and other genetics companies, creating slight variations in genetic expression across different versions. Auto Purple Sunset typically exhibits a balanced genetic profile of approximately 45% sativa and 55% indica, though some phenotypes may show equal 50/50 distribution. The plant displays striking visual characteristics, featuring deep purple hues throughout its structure, dense trichome coverage, and compact bushy growth patterns reaching heights of 80-110cm (2-3 feet) when provided optimal growing conditions. The strain completes its full lifecycle in 75-90 days from germination, with flowering occurring over 8-10 weeks, making it an excellent choice for growers seeking quick turnaround times. Auto Purple Sunset produces dense, resinous buds with exceptional bag appeal, showcasing the signature purple coloration inherited from its Purple Punch lineage while maintaining the fleshy, cookie-like flower structure characteristic of Sunset Sherbet genetics.

Growing Information
Auto Purple Sunset is considered an easy-to-grow strain suitable for both novice and experienced cultivators. The plant thrives in both indoor and outdoor environments with a complete lifecycle of 75-90 days from germination. Flowering time is 8-10 weeks with no photoperiod dependency due to ruderalis genetics. Indoor yields range from 450-650 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 300-500 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain prefers temperatures between 70-80°F (21-27°C) and moderate humidity levels. Plants respond well to 18/6 or 20/4 light schedules indoors, though they can handle up to 24 hours of light. The compact, bushy structure makes it suitable for Sea of Green (SOG) methods and small spaces. Growers should avoid over-fertilization as autoflowering strains require fewer nutrients than photoperiod varieties. The strain shows good resistance to common diseases and adapts well to various growing mediums including soil and hydroponics.
