Auto Purple Wreck
Auto Purple Wreck
Also known as: Purple Wreck Auto, Auto Purple Wreck
Overview
Auto Purple Wreck is an autoflowering cannabis strain developed by DNA Genetics, created by crossing Purple Wreck with Ruderalis genetics to introduce autoflowering characteristics while preserving the desirable traits of its parent strain. Purple Wreck itself is the offspring of two legendary strains: Purple Urkle and Trainwreck (T4), bred to enhance the vigor of the notoriously slow-growing Purple Urkle strain while maintaining its signature grape and berry flavors. The strain emerged from California's cannabis scene in the 2000s, with Purple Urkle being one of California's most coveted varieties at that time.
This indica-dominant hybrid (approximately 60% indica, 40% sativa) produces compact plants with dense, colorful buds featuring striking purple hues inherited from its Purple Urkle lineage. The flowers develop a crystalline resin layer and exhibit the characteristic purple coloration that becomes more pronounced in cooler temperatures. Auto Purple Wreck maintains the robust growth characteristics of Trainwreck while incorporating the autoflowering trait from Ruderalis, making it suitable for multiple harvests per season in outdoor cultivation. The strain typically completes its full growth cycle in approximately 11 weeks (75-77 days from sprout), making it an efficient choice for both novice and experienced growers seeking quick turnaround times with potent, visually appealing results.

Growing Information
Auto Purple Wreck is considered moderately easy to grow, making it suitable for both beginners and experienced cultivators. The strain completes its full cycle in approximately 11 weeks (75-77 days from sprout to harvest), with an autoflowering nature that eliminates the need for light cycle changes. Indoor yields are typically medium, while outdoor plants can produce 28-40g per plant. The plants remain compact and short, usually not exceeding 90cm in height when grown in peat substrate, making them ideal for indoor cultivation with limited space. The strain is known for its resilience and good tolerance to watering variations, with decent resistance to pests and fungi. Plants develop thick, dark green foliage with strong stems and branches that respond well to training techniques. The autoflowering genetics make it suitable for multiple harvests per season when grown outdoors, with harvest typically ready in early October for outdoor cultivation.
