GOAT'lato Auto is part of Royal Queen Seeds’ exclusive collaboration with Tyson 2.0, bringing Mike Tyson’s favorite genetics into seed form. As an autoflowering descendant of Gelato 44 × Cookies Auto, this strain combines sweet, dessert-style flavors with deeply relaxing effects and a fast, beginner-friendly grow cycle.
In this GOAT'lato Auto grow report, I’m walking you through the full run from germination to harvest, exactly as it played out in my tent. I kept my notes tight and honest, because this is the kind of reporting I wish I’d had when I started my first GOAT'lato Auto grow journal.
GOAT'lato Auto Grow Report: Equipment List
Before I even popped the seed, I made sure the basics were dialed in. Autoflowers don’t give you much time to “fix it later,” so I kept the setup simple, stable, and easy to manage.

GOAT'lato Auto Grow Report: Seedling Stage (Week 1)
Week one always feels like that quiet moment before a project really starts. I checked the tent more than I needed to, half expecting some drama, but the seedling popped up clean and confident.
- Lighting: The MIGRO ARAY 4 was set to an 18/6 light cycle, dimmed low and positioned about 1 ft above the soil surface to prevent stretching.
- Nutrients: No additional nutrients yet. The BioBizz Light Mix handled the early stage without any fuss.
- Environment: Temperatures averaged 77–81 °F, with relative humidity close to 60%.
- Plant status: By the end of week 1, she was a couple inches tall with a sturdy stem and the first true leaves coming in, with no stress signs and no legginess.
GOAT'lato Auto Grow Report: Vegetative Stage (Week 2-4)
This is where the pace picked up. Week by week, I could see GOAT'lato Auto settling into her rhythm, and my job was basically not to get in her way.
Week 2
I kept things calm this week. When an auto looks happy, I try not to “improve” it into a problem.
- Lighting: 18/6 stayed locked in, with the lamp about 1 ft above the canopy to keep growth balanced.
- Nutrients: Just pH-adjusted water in moderate amounts. The soil still had plenty to give.
- Environment: Temperatures ranged 75–79 °F, humidity around 55–60%.
- Plant status: More fan leaves showed up, and she clearly prioritized root development. No deficiencies and no weird leaf posture.
Week 3
This was the first week I caught myself thinking, “OK, this one’s got energy.” The structure started to show, and it felt like the plant was shifting gears.
- Lighting: Light intensity went up slightly—still 18/6, still holding that ~1 ft distance.
- Nutrients: I started a gentle feed with RQS Organic Nutrition once this week, keeping it mild.
- Environment: Temperatures averaged 75–79 °F, humidity stayed around 55–60%.
- Plant status: Noticeably taller, broader fan leaves, and better lateral branching. Pre-flowers started showing at the nodes toward the end of the week.
Week 4
Week four always feels like the last chance to keep veg tidy. After this, the plant has plans—and they’re usually bigger than mine.
- Lighting: Light output increased again, still on the 18-hour photoperiod.
- Nutrients: Feeding frequency nudged up a little, but I stayed cautious with nitrogen as bloom approached.
- Environment: Humidity dropped to around 50%, temps stayed stable.
- Plant status: The stretch became obvious, the main stem thickened, and pistils showed more clearly. Transition time.
GOAT'lato Auto Grow Report: Flowering Stage (Week 5-9)
Once flowering began, the tent changed fast. The smell showed up early, and from here on out, environmental management mattered more every week.
Weeks 5 & 6
Early flower felt like the plant was deciding where the weight would go. The stretch happened, but it stayed controlled, and bud sites started lining up along the branches.
- Lighting: 18/6 continued. I adjusted lamp height to keep it about 1 ft from the canopy as the plant moved.
- Nutrients: I transitioned to bloom-focused organic nutrition, with pH-adjusted water between feedings.
- Environment: Temps sat around 75–77 °F. Humidity eased down toward 45–50% to protect the developing flowers.
- Plant status: By the end of week 6, bud sites were clearly established, stretch slowed, and the structure stayed compact and healthy.
Week 7
This was the week it started to look like “real flower.” Resin ramped up, and the scent went from background sweetness to “OK, that’s loud.”
- Lighting: No big changes—just small height tweaks to keep coverage even.
- Nutrients: Bloom nutrients once this week, pH-adjusted water between.
- Environment: Temps steady at 75–77 °F, humidity around 45%.
- Plant status: Colas began swelling, resin production increased, and sweet, cookie-like aromas filled the space.
Week 8
By now, I mostly stopped thinking about growth and started thinking about ripening: keeping things stable and letting the plant finish cleanly.
- Lighting: Kept stable for consistent ripening.
- Nutrients: Reduced feeding toward the end of the week to prep for flushing.
- Environment: Humidity dropped to around 40%, temperatures steady.
- Plant status: Buds got denser and stickier, pistils darkened, and vertical growth stopped entirely.
Week 9
This week was all about restraint. The plant was basically done; my job was to avoid stressing her and to flush properly.
- Lighting: Unchanged, lamp height steady to avoid heat or light stress late in flower.
- Nutrients: Nutrients fully withheld; only pH-adjusted water to flush the medium.
- Environment: Humidity held near 40%, temperatures around 75 °F.
- Plant status: Aromas peaked, trichomes went mostly cloudy with a few amber, and the flowers firmed up, signaling harvest readiness.
GOAT'lato Auto Grow Report: Harvest
Once she hit that sweet spot, I cut the plant at the base and hung her upside down in the tent. Lights off, ventilation running, and a gentle fan for airflow (not blasting the buds).
After a little over two weeks, I trimmed and jarred the buds for curing. The final flowers came out dense and aromatic—the kind of result that makes the whole run feel worth it.
