Love Potion Auto Seeds

Genetics & effects

Love Potion Auto combines Love Potion #1 with Lowryder-type autoflower genetics. The resulting profile is approximately 70% sativa and 30% indica, pairing a compact growth habit with a quick, age-driven flowering cycle. Catalogue figures place THC at 12–17% and CBD at up to 0.5%, although cannabinoid levels naturally vary with the plant, environment and harvest timing.

Experiences are subjective, but some people describe Love Potion Auto as uplifting, energetic and happy, with a creative or focused character. Others may find its atmosphere arousing or socially engaging. Its flavour profile brings together berry, mango, peach and strawberry notes, rounded out by broader fruity and candy-like accents.

Growing in New Zealand

Love Potion Auto is presented in the Kiwi Seed Bank catalogue as a beginner-friendly autoflower suited to temperate or hot, dry conditions. Because flowering begins according to plant age rather than changing daylight hours, growers can focus on stable conditions and steady development. New Zealand’s regional differences still matter: northern locations may offer warmer, longer outdoor conditions, while southern areas often require greater shelter and careful seasonal timing.

For the conventional southern-hemisphere calendar, spring planting falls between September and November. Choose a bright, protected position and avoid unnecessary transplanting once growth is established. Autoflowers generally have limited time to recover from disruption, so a simple setup, moderate feeding and consistent watering are preferable to frequent changes.

Indoor

Indoors, plants can reach up to 100 cm. The listed flowering phase is approximately 7–8 weeks, though the complete seed-to-harvest cycle may be longer. Potential indoor production is listed at up to 450 g/m² under favourable conditions, but this is a reference figure rather than an assured outcome.

• Use a light, well-draining growing medium.
• Maintain gentle airflow through and around the canopy.
• Avoid persistent overwatering and abrupt environmental swings.
• Allow enough vertical clearance for lights and ventilation equipment.

Outdoor

Outdoors, Love Potion Auto can reach up to 100 cm and is listed at up to 100 g per plant. Select a position with generous direct sun, reliable drainage and protection from strong winds. In humid or rain-prone districts, spacing and airflow can help reduce the risk of mould. In hot, dry areas, monitor moisture carefully without leaving the root zone continually saturated.

Its compact stature may suit smaller gardens and containers. If using pots, choose the final container early to limit root disturbance. Colour and aroma can become more noticeable as flowers mature, although expression varies between individual plants and growing conditions.

Harvest

New Zealand’s main autumn harvest period is March–May. A spring-planted autoflower may finish earlier because of its rapid life cycle, while later or successive plantings can align more closely with the autumn window. Assess maturity from the plant itself rather than relying only on calendar dates. Keep flowers dry around collection time, handle them gently and provide a clean, ventilated space for post-harvest drying.
