Not an actual strain
In 2019 Fast Buds Blackberry Auto took 1st place at the Autoflower Cup in Oregon, USA. An exceptional experience from seed to smoke, presenting a dream come true for growers with its robust and vigorous growth, flourishing with ease and displaying resilience throughout its lifecycle with impressive yields.
With its striking looks and exquisite berry-like aroma, Blackberry entices the senses and promises a flavorful smoke that offers amazing potency.
Beautiful purple buds are completely covered in resin with excellent bag appeal and terpene profile for commercial growers. The strain is notably resilient, growing fairly well in all climates and performing well outdoors in colder regions.
Blackberry Auto is a compact, indica-leaning auto, 70 to 120 cm indoors with a short, bushy frame and tight spacing between nodes. That makes it a good fit for a small tent or a balcony. Its cold-climate tolerance is real enough that outdoor growers with short northern summers can get a crop in before the weather turns.
Run it on 18/6 or 20/4 from start to finish. Autos flower on their own clock, usually five to six weeks from sprout, so the whole growing window is short and every lost day shows in the jar. Skip topping. Gentle training in the first weeks works better: bend the main stem and tie it outward so the lower branches catch light. Dense indica buds hold moisture, so tuck or remove a few inner fan leaves for airflow, and bring the humidity down once the flowers start to fatten.
The purple is mostly genetic, but slightly cooler nights in the last two weeks deepen it. Don't chase colour by chilling the plant hard. A modest drop is enough, and a cold root zone slows the whole plant down. Expect a total cycle of eight to nine weeks. The berry aroma is sweet and earthy rather than sharp, and with myrcene leading the terpenes the effect leans calm and heavy. This is an evening strain.
