Auto Scratch
Auto Scratch Strain Overview
Auto Scratch is an autoflowering cannabis strain developed through selective breeding of indica and sativa genetics. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure in cannabis literature, but it appears to be a relatively modern creation from European breeders who focused on combining robust autoflowering traits with desirable effects and flavors. As an autoflowering variety, Auto Scratch transitions from vegetative growth to flowering based on age rather than light cycle changes, making it particularly suitable for novice growers or those seeking a low-maintenance cultivation experience.
The plant typically exhibits a compact, bushy structure with indica-dominant morphology, featuring dense, resinous buds that are often lime green with occasional purple hues when exposed to cooler temperatures during flowering. The buds are usually covered in a generous layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance. Auto Scratch is known for its relatively short life cycle, typically completing its growth from seed to harvest in approximately 8-10 weeks, which is characteristic of autoflowering strains.
Notable features of Auto Scratch include its resilience to environmental stressors and its ability to produce consistent results across varying growing conditions. The strain has gained popularity among home growers for its predictable flowering timeline and manageable plant size, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. While not as widely documented as some mainstream commercial strains, Auto Scratch has developed a following among enthusiasts who appreciate autoflowering varieties with balanced effects.

Auto Scratch Strain Growing Information
Auto Scratch is considered an easy-to-grow strain suitable for beginners. As an autoflowering variety, it has a fixed life cycle of approximately 8-10 weeks from seed to harvest. The plant typically reaches a height of 60-100 cm (24-40 inches) indoors and slightly taller outdoors. Expected yields range from 300-450 grams per square meter indoors or 30-100 grams per plant outdoors, depending on growing conditions. The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments, with indoor cultivation allowing for better environmental control. Auto Scratch is relatively resistant to common pests and molds, though proper ventilation is still recommended. Special considerations include avoiding transplantation stress (autoflowers prefer to be started in their final containers) and providing consistent light schedules (though not required for flowering initiation). The plant responds well to low-stress training techniques but should not be subjected to high-stress training methods due to its autoflowering nature.
