Cotton Bud Automatic
Cotton Bud Automatic
Also known as: Cotton Bud Autoflowering
Overview
Cotton Bud Automatic is an indica-dominant autoflowering hybrid strain developed by Zamnesia Seeds, a Dutch cannabis breeder. This strain was created by crossing White Indica genetics with ruderalis to produce an easy-to-grow autoflowering variety that maintains the characteristics of its indica parent while adding the quick flowering traits of ruderalis. The strain gets its name from its appearance when mature, featuring dense buds with a distinctive frosty white appearance reminiscent of cotton. Cotton Bud Automatic is specifically designed for novice growers and those with limited space, as it stays compact and requires minimal maintenance while still producing respectable yields. The strain typically reaches heights of 50-60cm indoors and 60-110cm outdoors, making it ideal for stealth growing operations. Its autoflowering nature means it transitions from seed to harvest in just 8-9 weeks, with flowering commencing automatically around 3 weeks after germination. The buds are known for their intense skunky aroma with earthy undertones that hint at Skunk genetics in its lineage, and they produce a pleasant relaxing body stone typical of indica-dominant varieties.
