Auto Wappa

Auto Wappa is a cross of the original Wappa x Ruderalis. The Wappa parent is a celebrated hybrid known for its perfect balance of indica and sativa traits, exceptional flavor, and resin production. Ruderalis genetics introduce autoflowering traits and compact structure, making Auto Wappa a quick-finishing, beginner-friendly variety with serious potential.

Auto Wappa’s terpene profile is dominated by Myrcene, Caryophyllene, and Linalool, creating a rich aroma of sweet fruit and skunky undertones. The flavor follows suit, delivering a smooth, fruity experience with mild sweetness that keeps users coming back for more.

This hybrid’s effects are balanced but lean slightly towards the indica side. Expect a calm, euphoric body relaxation without couch lock, alongside a gentle, uplifting mental clarity that enhances mood and reduces stress—perfect for a mellow afternoon or a chill evening unwind.

Medical users praise Auto Wappa for its manageable potency and well-rounded effects. It’s frequently chosen for relief from stress, anxiety, and general discomfort, offering a discreet and rewarding growing experience in small or limited spaces.

Indoors, Auto Wappa is an easy grow, making it an ideal choice for beginners. It grows to a manageable height with a sturdy structure and produces a generous coating of trichomes during flowering. It responds well to basic care and will yield dense, rock-hard buds.

Indoor Yield: 400 g per m²

Outdoors, Auto Wappa is a fantastic choice for balcony or garden growers. With the right conditions, it can reach up to 1 meter tall and finish quickly, making it a stealthy and productive addition to summer gardens in both northern and southern climates.

Outdoor Yield: 75 g per plant

Auto Wappa is the autoflowering version of one of Paradise Seeds’ most popular strains, the ‘near perfect’ hybrid, Wappa (50% sativa / 50% indica). This strain is renowned for its sweet and fruity aroma, big yields and potent but Zen-like effect.

The auto version of the plant, Auto Wappa, is described as an easy grow variety which retains many of the attributes from the original plant, including a ‘surprisingly strong’ effect. It’s described as taking 60-65 days (indoors) from seed to harvest and 70 days (outdoors), with an estimated yield of 400g per m² /110g per plant (indoor/outdoor). German grow expert, Growolff, put the seeds to the test

Germination and Vegetative Stage

Growolff sowed three feminised Auto Wappa seeds into Jiffy pots and they quickly sprouted, enjoying a good start placed in a Secret Jardin 1 m2 grow box under two 75 Watts high-efficiency CFL lamps at 18 hours of light per day. He planted the young seedlings into 6.5 litre pots filled with Plagron Standard Mix soil and after two weeks moved them into his big grow room equipped with 6x 600 Watts lamps (3x HPS, 3x MH / 6x HPS in the flowering stage).

At that point of time, the three plants were 15-18 cm tall and growing fairly compact, having produced 4-5 internodes and side branch formations as well as quite narrow shade leaves that reminded more of sativa than of indica. A few days later, the first female preflowers became visible, so the autoflowering effect was setting in according to plan, and Growolff was also very satisfied with the remarkably homogeneous growth performance of the plants.

Flowering Stage

In the course of flowering, they exhibited a strong stretching effect, increasing in height by about 10-12 cm every week. At the same time, they were branching out vividly, adopting a diamond-shaped growth pattern. When they were 35 days old and about 2.5 weeks into flowering, Growolff noted that resin production was going on dynamically, lots of crystals started to emerge on the young calyxes and flower leaves.

Bud formation was proceeding extremely well in the following weeks of flowering, with the plants developing dense indica-style flower clusters with quite a high calyx-to-leaf ratio, shaping lots of fat tops all over the plants. And the three Auto Wappa plants were pumping out surprisingly rich amounts of resin giving them a silvery white appearance, in fact, they turned out to become the most resinous auto variety ever encountered by Growolff, pretty damn sticky! No wonder that their odour was accordingly strong, being super sweet and fruity, indeed, with no traces of ruderalis at all, a sheer pleasure to sniff.

At the age of 61, 64 and 66 days, the three plants were fully ripe, within the life cycle span stated by Paradise Seeds. Final heights were 68, 71 and 78 cm.
When the bud harvest had been dried carefully, Growolff read a total yield of 127 grams from the scales, i.e. an average yield of more than 40 grams of super resinous buds per plant – undoubtedly an excellent achievement for an autoflowering strain.

Smell and Smoke Report

He loved the most intense sweet and fruity smell of his dried Auto Wappa buds and naturally was full of expectations when he smoked the first fattie. Already a few tokes – deliciously sweet and mild, totally free of any ruderalis aspects – made him realise the quality of this strain would even go beyond his expectations: A mighty indica hammer quickly slapped his head, sending him on a relaxant journey into the valley of deep, but also cheerful stonedness where he happily spent almost two hours.

“Simply amazing, these Auto Wappa apples really do fall extremely close to the Wappa mother tree!”, Growolff praised, “this is autoflowering potency pushed to another level, absolutely outstanding and certainly the best experienced so far in the field of auto strains.”
