Lemonade Auto

Lemonade Auto is a cross between Tangerine Sorbet x Lemon Skunk, with added Ruderalis for autoflowering traits. Tangerine Sorbet (Wappa x Thin Mint Cookies) contributes intense tangerine sweetness, while Lemon Skunk brings a sharp sour edge. This combination results in a flavorful, fast-finishing auto with enhanced potency and aromatic complexity.

This strain explodes with citrus aroma—think freshly peeled tangerines and zesty lemon zest. In the grow room, its fragrance is a bold burst of orange and lemon, almost vitamin-rich in intensity. The flavor mirrors the aroma: juicy and sweet up front with a pleasantly sour lemon twist on the finish.

The high is clear-headed and energizing without being overwhelming, making Lemonade Auto a perfect daytime strain. It’s uplifting and creativity-enhancing, ideal for social gatherings or focused solo sessions. The THC content delivers a potent punch while maintaining clarity and balance.

Medical users may find relief from stress, anxiety, and low energy. Its appetite-stimulating qualities and mood-boosting properties also make it a great choice for those seeking natural support throughout the day.

Indoors, Lemonade Auto grows to a moderate height of 1–1.5 meters with a classic sativa structure. Expect strong central colas and compact side buds. Its striking appearance and citrusy aroma make it a favorite for indoor cultivation.

Indoor Yield: 500 g per m²

Outdoors, this autoflower thrives in sunny climates and Mediterranean regions. It’s easy to manage, stretches slightly taller in open environments, and produces sticky, resinous buds with a sugary trichome coating and tangerine hues.

Outdoor Yield: 50+ g per plant

Lemonade Auto is a new generation autoflower from Paradise Seeds which combines 20%+ THC levels with a super pronounced terpene profile. With a name like Lemonade, it comes as no surprise that citrus lines up front and center in the taste and aroma department. Lemonade Auto combines popular Tangerine Sorbet, the Cali version of Paradise’s popular Wappa, and a particularly sour lemon skunk. We put it to the test in an outdoor environment.

Germination and Vegetative Stage

Two Lemonade Auto seeds were germinated between layers of moist tissue paper and both cracked open within two days. As it was April and spring temperatures were still fluctuating, they were started off in coir jiffy pots (8cm x 8cm) and transplanted into the ground when they had achieved five nodes in growth after about 3 weeks, and protected from night temperature dips with a cloche until the threat had passed.

During the veg stage, a sunny spell coincided with significant stretch and the seedlings soon displayed their sativa characteristics with their display of spiky dark green narrow leaves. It was clear that these plants were only intent on going up! Growth was vertical, with 6 large fan leaves radiating around the stem like the fins of a lemon zest powered rocket, and only two notable side branches to mention. The plants were 25 cm and 27 cm when they began to flower.

Flowering phase

After 30 days Lemonade Auto hit the next stage of its journey and the various bud sites around the stem began to open up, accompanied by another significant stretch. Over the coming weeks a bud globe developed around the top of the plant. This was the focal point for two huge bud clusters, however below them not so large, but still significantly sized buds, laddered down the stem in parallel sets of pairs.

As the flowering cycle progressed, they swelled significantly to fill up stem space and as harvest approached they seemed to merge into one big bud running three quarters the length of the stem. The accompanying bouquet was a citrus so intense it almost eclipsed the scent from a nearby lemon balm plant, although with the addition of extra pungency. Extending the theme, buds had a real sense of lemon pith to their off white colouring, which became more defined with the addition of greens and flame red pistils as they ripened. Final heights were 85 cm and 88 cm and yielded 60 and 65 grams.
Smell and Smoke Report

Dried buds retained that alluring coloring, and with the thick sugary coating of trichomes, they resembled super sized lemon candies. The sharpness of the citrus evident in the grow room had mellowed a little but there were no doubts about the lemon heritage in terms of aroma. A squeeze between the fingers unlocked that layer of reassuring pungency with its skunky essence.

For the smoke test, 0.5 grams of Lemonade Auto was ground up and smoked in a pure spliff. An incredibly satisfying taste experience accompanied the first puffs, with a tangerine sweetness coming to the fore before the taste of lemon began to seep through, with a sour aftertaste which lingered on the tongue. As the description had promised a ‘juicy fruit bowl’ there were no surprises, however, what was surprising was the actual intensity of the citrus experience, which triggered something like a Homer Simpson drool from the salivary glands.

The effect was almost instant and a real summer lifter which was clear and focused. The Lemonade Auto brought a wonderful lightness in taste and the effect which was strong but friendly; that feeling that all is good with the world and anything seems achievable. A swift lift off was followed by a nicely intense 1 – 1.5 hours in the happy place before quite a sudden tailing off, leaving the user refreshed (and ready for more!).

An easy management and plant which brings a clear feel good factor effect and takes citrus to new levels with its incredible terpene profile. Highly impressive in looks and performance.
