Fat Bastard Auto Seeds

Genetics & effects

Fat Bastard Auto is presented as a balanced 50% sativa and 50% indica autoflower, based on a reported Goldmember × Monkey Spunk × ruderalis cross. Its autoflowering genetics initiate bloom according to plant maturity rather than a change in daylight hours, making timing relatively straightforward for growers with some prior experience.

Reported cannabinoid figures place THC at 25–37% and CBD at 0.1–0.5%, although actual laboratory results can vary between plants and growing conditions. Aromas and flavours may lean towards sweet fruit and skunk, with myrcene, caryophyllene and limonene listed among the notable terpenes. Individual experiences differ, but consumers commonly describe the effects as powerful, relaxed, creative and euphoric. The combination may feel intensely uplifting at first before settling into a heavier, calmer sensation.

Growing in the named country

In New Zealand, Fat Bastard Auto is best suited to temperate areas or warm, dry microclimates. Outdoor planting is generally most favourable during spring, from September to November, once cold nights and late frosts have passed. Autoflowers have a limited vegetative period, so early stress can affect final size. Start with an airy medium, avoid overwatering and keep environmental changes gradual.

This cultivar is listed as intermediate difficulty. Its potential vigour and dense flowers make airflow, moisture control and regular observation important. Figures are indicative rather than assured, as phenotype, light, nutrition, container volume and local weather all influence performance.

Indoor

Indoors, plants may reach up to 130 cm and are listed with yields of up to 600 g/m² in well-managed conditions. A stable light schedule can be maintained throughout the full cycle because the plant does not depend on shorter days to flower. Gentle low-stress training early in growth may help create an even canopy, but major training should be avoided once flowering is established.

• Provide consistent airflow around and beneath the canopy.
• Use free-draining media and allow appropriate drying between watering.
• Monitor vertical space as flowering stretch may be substantial.
• Keep humidity controlled as flowers gain weight to reduce mould risk.

Outdoor

Outdoor plants may grow up to 150 cm, with listed yields reaching up to 300 g per plant under favourable conditions. Choose a sunny, sheltered position with good drainage and protection from persistent rain. Containers offer flexibility during sudden spring cold or extended wet spells, while a dry, warm location can support stronger flower development.

New Zealand’s variable coastal conditions mean local timing matters. Inspect dense flowers after rain, maintain space between plants and remove damaged plant material promptly. These steps can reduce risk during humid periods.

Harvest

The listed flowering period is approximately 8–10 weeks, though the complete seed-to-harvest cycle may be longer and will vary. New Zealand’s main outdoor harvest season runs from March to May; however, spring-started autoflowers may finish earlier depending on planting date and phenotype. Assess maturity by observing trichome colour, flower swelling and fading pistils rather than relying only on a calendar. A gradual drying process in a dark, ventilated space helps retain the cultivar’s sweet, fruity and skunky profile.
