Grizzly Auto
Also known as: Grizzly Autoflower, Grizzly AF
Grizzly Auto Strain Overview
Grizzly Auto is an autoflowering cannabis strain developed through selective breeding to combine robust genetics with the convenience of automatic flowering. The strain's exact origin is somewhat obscure in cannabis literature, but it appears to have been developed by breeders seeking to create a hardy, fast-finishing indica-dominant variety suitable for various growing conditions. As an autoflowering strain, Grizzly Auto transitions from vegetative growth to flowering based on age rather than light cycle, making it particularly appealing to novice growers and those seeking multiple harvests in a single season.
The plant typically exhibits classic indica characteristics with a compact, bushy structure and dense, resinous buds. The flowers are often medium to dark green with occasional purple hues that may develop in cooler temperatures, complemented by vibrant orange pistils. A thick coating of trichomes gives the buds a frosty appearance, indicative of the strain's potency. The name 'Grizzly' likely references both the strain's robust nature and the earthy, sometimes musky aroma profile that some phenotypes produce.
Notable features of Grizzly Auto include its relatively short life cycle (typically 8-10 weeks from seed to harvest) and resilience to environmental stressors. The strain has gained popularity among home growers for its predictable performance and manageable size, usually reaching 60-100 cm in height. While not as widely documented as some commercial strains, Grizzly Auto has established a niche following among autoflower enthusiasts who appreciate its balance of potency and cultivation ease.

Grizzly Auto Strain Growing Information
Grizzly Auto is considered beginner-friendly due to its autoflowering nature and resilience. The strain typically flowers in 6-8 weeks after a short vegetative period, with total seed-to-harvest time of 8-10 weeks. Plants remain compact, usually reaching 60-100 cm in height, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. Indoor growers can expect yields of approximately 300-450 grams per square meter under optimal conditions, while outdoor plants may produce 30-60 grams each. The strain adapts well to various growing mediums including soil and coco coir, and tolerates minor environmental fluctuations better than many photoperiod strains. No special light cycle manipulation is required due to its autoflowering genetics. Growers should avoid overwatering and provide adequate nutrients during the flowering phase to maximize resin production.
