In the world of autoflowering cannabis, there are fast strains, there are potent strains, and then there is Auto Ultimate.
This strain was created by Dutch Passion with a singular goal: to see exactly how much weight an autoflower could physically hold. It is the genetic successor to "The Ultimate," a photoperiod legend famous for breaking scales. By crossing this heavy-hitter with their robust Auto Mazar, they created a monster.
Auto Ultimate is not a stealth plant. It is a room-filler. It is famous in the growing community for producing harvests that rival—and often beat—photoperiod crops. If you are a grower who measures success in grams per watt, this is your holy grail.
History and Lineage: The Fusion of Giants
Auto Ultimate is the result of merging two of Dutch Passion's most successful lines.
The Mother (The Ultimate): A classic Dutch strain known for a rare combination: heavy yields and high quality. Usually, commercial yielders sacrifice flavor, but The Ultimate retained a rich connoisseur profile while producing massive colas.
The Father (Auto Mazar): The legendary autoflowering Indica. It was chosen to provide the "automatic" clock and to inject the genetic toughness and vigor required to support massive buds.
The Result: A plant that grows with the vigor of the Mazar but the structure and bud density of The Ultimate. It is a true hybrid, taking the best traits of both parents.
Terpene Profile: Citrus and Earth
Auto Ultimate has a classic, clean aroma. It is not overly "skunky" or "gassy," making it pleasant to work with.
Dominant Terpenes
Terpinolene (The Freshness): Gives the strain a distinct floral and herbal scent, often compared to lilacs or apples.
Limonene (The Citrus): Provides a sharp, fresh lemon note that brightens the profile.
Caryophyllene (The Spice): Adds a background note of black pepper and wood.
Flavor Notes:
The Aroma: It smells of fresh lemon, pine needles, and damp earth. It is a very "green" and fresh smell.
The Smoke: Crisp and smooth. It tastes of citrus zest, spicy herbs, and musk. It is a mild smoke that doesn't overwhelm the palate.
Strain Effects: The Balanced Driver
Because it is a 50/50 hybrid, Auto Ultimate offers a very versatile high that works for day or night.
The Experience
The Onset: It hits with a clear, active cerebral buzz. It wakes you up rather than putting you to sleep.
The Middle: As the high settles, a wave of physical relaxation washes over the body. It soothes muscles without causing "couch-lock."
The Clarity: This is a functional strain. You can clean the house, work on hobbies, or socialize. It doesn't confuse the mind or cause paranoia.
The Duration: It is known for having "long legs," meaning the high lasts for several hours.
Best For: All-day use, managing anxiety while staying productive, and novice smokers (due to the balanced, non-racy nature).
Growing Auto Ultimate: The Monster
This is the main event. You grow Auto Ultimate because you want to fill jars.
Growth Structure
The Size: This is not a windowsill auto. In a large pot or hydro system, it can grow 3 to 5 feet tall and just as wide. It branches aggressively.
The Yield: Unmatched. In a standard soil setup, 150g+ is common. In Hydroponics/DWC (Deep Water Culture), experienced growers regularly pull 500g to 750g from a single plant.
The Cycle: Because it grows so large, it takes longer than fast autos. Expect a 10 to 12-week cycle. Do not chop it early; the last 2 weeks are when the buds swell dramatically.
The Appetite: It is a very heavy feeder. It needs high levels of light and nutrients to support its rapid growth.
Grower’s Tip: Support is mandatory. The buds get so heavy that the branches will snap under the weight if you don't use a trellis net, yo-yos, or stakes. Treat it like a heavy photoperiod plant.
Final Verdict: The Yield King
Auto Ultimate is the answer to the critics who say autoflowers can't yield. It is a biological machine designed to convert light and nutrients into biomass at an alarming rate. While the flavor is a classic, subtle lemon-pine rather than a modern exotic candy profile, the sheer volume of high-quality bud makes it a staple for commercial growers and home growers who want to stock up for the entire year with just a few plants.
You should choose Auto Ultimate if:
You want the highest possible yield from an autoflower.
You grow in Hydroponics or DWC (where it explodes).
You prefer a balanced, functional high.
You have plenty of space in your grow tent.
