Crystal Cookies Auto
Also known as: Crystal Cookies Autoflower
Crystal Cookies Auto Strain Overview
Crystal Cookies Auto is an autoflowering cannabis strain developed by crossing the popular Girl Scout Cookies (GSC) with a Ruderalis autoflowering genetic line. This strain emerged in the early 2010s as breeders sought to combine the desirable effects and flavors of classic cookie strains with the convenience and speed of autoflowering genetics. The result is a compact, fast-finishing plant that maintains many characteristics of its photoperiod parent while offering the cultivation simplicity of autoflowering varieties.
The strain typically produces dense, resin-coated buds with a distinctive appearance featuring deep green foliage interspersed with purple hues and vibrant orange pistils. The name 'Crystal' refers to the abundant trichome coverage that gives the buds a frosty, crystalline appearance. Plants remain relatively short, usually reaching 60-100 cm in height, making them suitable for discreet cultivation or limited spaces. The autoflowering nature means plants transition from vegetative growth to flowering based on age rather than light cycle changes.
Notable features include its relatively short life cycle of 8-10 weeks from seed to harvest and its resilience to common cultivation challenges. The strain has gained popularity among home growers seeking a reliable, low-maintenance option that delivers consistent results without requiring precise light management. While not as potent as some photoperiod GSC variants, Crystal Cookies Auto offers a balanced experience that appeals to both recreational and medicinal users.

Crystal Cookies Auto Strain Growing Information
Crystal Cookies Auto is considered beginner-friendly due to its autoflowering nature and resilience. The complete life cycle from seed to harvest typically takes 8-10 weeks. Plants perform well both indoors and outdoors, with indoor yields averaging 300-400 grams per square meter and outdoor plants producing 30-60 grams each. Preferred growing conditions include well-draining soil with moderate nutrients, temperatures between 20-28°C (68-82°F), and relative humidity around 40-50% during flowering. The autoflowering genetics allow for continuous light schedules (18-24 hours of light daily) without causing stress. Plants remain compact at 60-100 cm height, making them suitable for small spaces, stealth grows, or sea of green (SOG) setups. Special considerations include avoiding transplanting (direct sowing recommended), using light nutrients during the short vegetative phase, and providing adequate airflow to prevent mold in dense buds.
