Santa Maria Auto is an autoflowering hybrid strain that represents a significant milestone in cannabis breeding history. The strain originated from crossing the legendary Santa Maria strain with ruderalis genetics to create stable autoflowering properties. Santa Maria itself traces its roots to the Amazon rainforest of Brazil, where it was traditionally used in spiritual rituals before making its way to the Netherlands for selective breeding programs. The autoflowering version was developed by crossing these Brazilian sativa genetics with ruderalis, Northern Light, and Afghan genetics to create a balanced hybrid with 70% indica and 10% sativa properties, plus 20% ruderalis. This compact strain is renowned for its beginner-friendly cultivation characteristics and fast flowering cycle. Santa Maria Auto plants typically reach heights of 40-80cm indoors and 80-120cm outdoors, featuring dense, resinous buds with a pleasant floral and fruity aroma. The strain is particularly notable for being instrumental in the development of modern autoflowering varieties, as it was used to create Lowryder 2, which revolutionized the autoflowering market.
