Strain Lineage and Genetics

Shortcut Auto is a 50/50 hybrid, born from the unique cross between Pineapple Runtz and Ruderalis. This combination gives it the best of both worlds, offering a powerful high with the ease of an autoflowering plant. Pineapple Runtz brings a tropical aroma and potent effects, while Ruderalis ensures fast flowering and resilience, making Shortcut Auto an excellent choice for growers looking for consistency and yield.

With a THC content ranging from 21% to 30% and CBD levels of 2% to 3.8%, Shortcut Auto is ideal for both recreational and medicinal users. Its high potency provides a strong psychoactive experience, while its low CBD content makes it less suitable for those seeking medicinal relief from conditions like anxiety or epilepsy.

Cultivation Tips

Germinating your Shortcut Auto seeds is a critical step in ensuring a successful harvest. Proper germination techniques help maximize the potential of your seeds, leading to vigorous growth and abundant yields. At Blimburn Seeds, we emphasize the importance of handling your seeds with care and following our recommended germination method to achieve optimal results.

To begin, prepare your germination station by moistening two paper towels with room temperature water. Place one paper towel on a plate and evenly distribute the seeds, ensuring a gap of about 2 cm between them. Cover the seeds with the second moist paper towel, then cover everything with an opaque plate to create a warm, dark environment.

Regular monitoring is crucial; check the moisture levels every 4-6 hours and adjust as needed. The germination process typically occurs within 24 to 120 hours, at which point the seeds will sprout tap roots. Transplant them into soil with roots facing down and maintain a moist environment to support initial growth. Consistent temperatures between 70-90ºF and using purified water with a balanced pH are recommended for best results.
