Juicy Lucy by Auto Seeds

Juicy Lucy seeds: Cheese flavour in a high-yielding auto

Juicy Lucy is an autoflowering strain (a plant that starts flowering with age, not because of the light hours it gets) from Auto Seeds, a breeder that focuses on autos. According to the breeder, it combines the proven yield of Auto Pounder, one of its most productive autos, with the character of The Cheese, the famous English plant that smells of cheese. The result is an indica-dominant plant (the shorter plant type with a more physical effect), with a manageable size and a short cycle. At oaseeds we like it because it is one of the few autos that gives you the good old Cheese flavour without giving up a decent harvest.

Flavour, aroma and effect of Juicy Lucy

Its profile is classic Cheese: a cheese flavour in charge, with a skunk background (the strong, slightly sour smell of Skunk plants). According to Auto Seeds, the aroma becomes much stronger late in flowering and carries into the smoke, with a rich, savoury taste and a touch of sweetness. Its terpenes (the compounds that give the plant its smell and taste) lean towards earthy, pungent and slightly creamy notes.

The effect is relaxing and mainly physical, typical of an indica. The breeder describes it as calm and steady, good for unwinding in the evening without being overwhelming. With around 20 % THC (the cannabis compound that produces the high), it has a balanced potency that works whether you have little experience or have been smoking for years.

How to grow Juicy Lucy indoors and outdoors

Auto Seeds rates it as easy to grow. It does very well indoors, but also performs strongly outdoors. Plants usually reach 100 to 120 cm and complete their whole cycle in about 70 to 80 days from seed. Indoors they stay compact but form dense, heavy buds, with a strong smell late in flowering (the stage when the plant forms its buds). Outdoors they can grow bigger, so give them some room. The yield is 500 to 600 grams per square metre.

The breeder's tips: make sure you have good airflow and a carbon filter indoors, especially in the last weeks; use gentle training techniques such as LST (bending and tying branches so the light reaches all of them), and keep an eye on humidity at the end, because the buds are very compact. Its flowers have few leaves and lots of resin, so the trim (cutting the leaves off after harvest) is quick.

Juicy Lucy characteristics

Frequently asked questions about Juicy Lucy

Is Juicy Lucy indica or sativa?

It is indica dominant, according to Auto Seeds. That is why it grows compact, forms dense buds and has a relaxing, physical effect that suits the evening better.

How long is the Juicy Lucy cycle?

From 70 to 80 days from seed to harvest. As an autoflower, you do not need to change the light hours to make it flower, and outdoors the harvest date depends on when you sow it.

How much does Juicy Lucy yield?

From 500 to 600 grams per square metre, according to the breeder. That is a high figure for an auto that stands between 100 and 120 cm.

Does Juicy Lucy smell a lot while growing?

Yes, especially late in flowering, when the cheese and skunk smell gets stronger. Indoors, the breeder recommends good airflow and odour control.
