Royal Queen Seeds - Sweet ZZ Autoflower: One Of The Most Powerful Autos On The Planet

Sweet ZZ Autoflower has raised the bar for sweetness in autoflowering strains. Although you’ll occasionally see the words “cookies”, “sweet”, and “sugar” when shopping around for autos, not much compares to the nectar-like terpene profile of Sweet ZZ Auto. Her taste is enough to attract many growers, but she has more to her name than flavour alone. Her breeders successfully teased out a rapid flowering time and an outlandish THC content.

Sweet ZZ Auto is the progeny of two equally scrumptious parent strains. Zkittlez passed down her world-famous taste and indica-dominant charm. Choosing this award-winning variety was a no-brainer. She strutted her stuff on the competition scene, securing 1st place wins at the 2015 Cannabis Cup and 2016 Emerald Cup. Breeders selected Auto Fruit as the second parent strain to introduce autoflowering genetics and citrusy flavours into the mix.

GROWING SWEET ZZ AUTO

Sweet ZZ Auto is different from most standard autos in almost every way, and yield is no exception. She’s a highly productive strain that produces exceptional returns indoors and outdoors. If you plan on growing the strain indoors, expect a sizable yield of up to 400g/m². Plants cultivated outdoors are capable of providing a superior return of 175g/plant. Sweet ZZ Auto reaches a maximum height of 120cm and surges from seed to harvest in approximately 75 days.

EFFECTS AND FLAVOUR PROFILE OF SWEET ZZ AUTO

Sweet ZZ Auto's creators predicted a good outcome for this project. However, the results far exceeded their expectations. She was stabilised into a consistent phenotype over several generations and emerged as one of the most potent autos in existence. Autoflowering strains get a bad rap for low THC content. Modern breeding is shattering this stereotype, and Sweet ZZ Auto is a prime example of this progress. Her dense flowers exude copious amounts of resin containing a THC content of 18%. This is almost unheard of in the autoflowering world.

There’s nothing subtle about these flowers. They exert their indica-dominant effects within seconds in the form of a powerful body high. The muscles melt like butter, the eyes become red, and it’s not uncommon for a smile to sprout across the face. If you’re an experienced smoker, Sweet ZZ Auto is a great social strain. She’ll put you in the mood for a deep chat and some bassy tunes. If your tolerance is particularly low, she’s likely to put you to sleep. Smoke these flowers before bed to ease stress and counter insomnia.

You might be surprised to hear that this strain’s potency isn’t even her strongest trait. Her terpene profile is enough to set her apart from most autoflowering cultivars. Caryophyllene is the most dominant terpene in the mix and contributes notes of pepper and spice. This terpene is known to reduce inflammation by acting on the CB2 receptor of the endocannabinoid system.

Humulene is the second most prevalent terpene within Sweet ZZ Auto. This terpene is the chemical that gives hops its recognisable flavour profile. Humulene adds an earthy element to Sweet ZZ Autoflower and further enhances the anti-inflammatory properties.

Finally, limonene is the third most dominant terpene of the group. The molecule conjures mouth-watering scents of citrus and helps take the edge off anxiety. Overall, these terpenes converge to produce tastes and smells of berries, candy, diesel, and grape.
