Dr. Zaius OG Automatic

Dr. Zaius OG Automatic is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 22.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.

Dr. Zaius OG Automatic is an autoflowering cannabis strain developed by crossing the popular Dr. Zaius OG with ruderalis genetics to create an automatic flowering version. The strain takes its name from the character Dr. Zaius from the 1968 film 'Planet of the Apes,' though the exact reason for this naming convention remains unclear in cannabis breeding records. This automatic variant maintains many characteristics of its photoperiod parent while offering the convenience of autoflowering cultivation.

The strain typically produces medium-sized plants with dense, resinous buds that exhibit a distinctive appearance. The flowers often display a combination of deep green foliage with occasional purple hues, particularly in cooler growing conditions. Orange pistils weave through the compact bud structure, which is typically covered in a generous layer of trichomes, giving the buds a frosty appearance. The automatic flowering trait means plants will begin flowering based on age rather than light cycle changes, making it suitable for growers seeking simpler cultivation.

Dr. Zaius OG Automatic is known for its balanced effects that combine physical relaxation with cerebral stimulation. The automatic version was developed to preserve the desirable traits of the original Dr. Zaius OG while introducing the autoflowering characteristic that appeals to novice growers and those with limited growing space. The strain has gained popularity among home growers for its manageable size and relatively short life cycle, typically completing its growth in 8-10 weeks from seed to harvest.
