Cherry AK Auto Seeds

Cherry AK Auto is a feminised autoflower with a compact structure, a quick flowering phase and a fruit-forward aromatic profile. Its Cherry AK × ruderalis autoflowering lineage suits growers seeking a straightforward plant for indoor spaces or New Zealand’s varied outdoor conditions. Kiwi Seed Bank presents this cultivar as an approachable option for newer growers and experienced collectors alike.

Genetics & effects

The genetic balance is approximately 60% sativa and 40% indica, with THC listed at 15–22% and CBD at 0–0.5%. Individual experiences vary, but users may describe the initial character as cerebral, happy, creative or social. A calmer, more relaxed or sleepy feeling may become noticeable later. Setting, personal tolerance and harvested flower can all shape the subjective experience.

Cherry and berry notes lead the flavour profile, supported by sweet tree fruit, earth, herbs and diesel. Myrcene, caryophyllene and limonene contribute to its layered aroma. Explore more compact options in our autoflower seed collection.

Growing in New Zealand

As an autoflower, Cherry AK Auto begins flowering according to age rather than a change in light hours. Plants stay relatively compact at up to 100 cm, making them easier to position in sheltered gardens, greenhouses or smaller indoor areas. The listed flowering period is approximately 7–8 weeks.

For outdoor growing in New Zealand, spring planting generally falls between September and November. Select the warmest, sunniest location available and provide airflow around the foliage. In cool or short-season regions, a sheltered position can help plants make the most of limited warmth. In hot, dry areas, monitor moisture closely without leaving the root zone constantly wet.

Indoor

Indoors, the compact height works well where vertical room is limited. Use a light, free-draining medium and avoid frequent repotting once growth is underway, as autoflowers have limited time to recover from disruption. Gentle branch positioning can open the canopy, but heavy pruning may slow a short cycle.

Maintain steady airflow and moderate humidity, especially as flowers become denser. Listed indoor production is up to 400 g/m², although actual output depends on environment, plant health, lighting and grower experience. Browse other feminised seed varieties for additional formats.

Outdoor

Outdoors, plants can reach up to 100 cm and are listed at up to 350 g per plant under favourable conditions. Results vary with sunlight, temperature, container size and local weather. Good drainage is particularly useful in wetter districts, while spacing and airflow help reduce the risk of mould during humid periods.

Harvest

New Zealand’s main outdoor harvest window is March–May, though autoflowers started in spring may finish earlier depending on sowing date and conditions. Rather than relying on the calendar alone, assess flower maturity and overall plant condition. Keep harvested flowers in a dark, ventilated environment while moisture levels gradually stabilise, preserving their cherry, sweet, earthy and diesel character.
