Watermelon Automatic
Royal Queen Seeds managed to capture the essence of Cali weed in an easy-to-grow autoflowering strain with Watermelon Automatic. This speedy variety blasts the nervous system with high levels of THC and tropical terpenes that redden the eyes and boost the appetite. She inherited these stoning traits from parent varieties Tropicanna Cookies and Lemon OG.
Although powerful, medium levels of CBD help to round off the high and prevent any overwhelming sensations from arising. Watermelon Automatic grows well outdoors, but you’ll get the best results indoors using a ScrOG setup under good LEDs.
