Life cycle & grow tips (autoflower)

As an autoflower, Shotgun Auto is photoperiod-independent (no 12/12 switch required) and ready to harvest in 8–9 weeks from germination. It handles soil, coco and hydro, but dislikes waterlogging. Since the line is moisture-sensitive, keep irrigation moderate, maintain good airflow/VPD and light defoliation—effective steps to prevent mold.

Structure & handling

In tents it stays compact (70–90 cm); outdoors it reaches 100–140 cm. The tidy stature fits small grow spaces, balconies or greenhouses. Gentle LST and an airy canopy are usually enough—skip aggressive topping on autos.

Yield & bag appeal

Despite the short run, Shotgun Auto is consistently productive: up to 500 g/m² indoors and up to 100 g/plant outdoors. The buds are compact, uniform and nicely resin-coated; sugar leaves trim easily—clean look and smooth post-harvest work.

THC & effects

THC sits at 21–23%. Expect a medium-strong, clear and creativity-friendly high with light euphoria—balanced head/body feel that suits relaxed afternoons or productive sessions.

Terpenes, flavour & aroma

A sweet-earthy base leads, lifted by floral accents and a subtle woody finish. Smoke is smooth, mouthfeel rounded—an easygoing everyday flavour profile.

Genetics & type

Born from AK47 x Ruderalis, this balanced hybrid carries the autoflowering trait (photoperiod-independent cannabis seeds). The AK line adds vigor and stability, while Ruderalis shortens the cycle and keeps plants compact.
