Standing at just 80cm (2.6ft), this strain is a master of disguise, fitting perfectly in tight spaces like balconies, small grow tents, and hidden outdoor spots. Its structure is short and stocky, with deep green foliage and tight internodes, making it a great option for discreet growers or guerrilla cultivation.

Flowering Time & Yield

One of the biggest advantages of Douce Nuit Auto is its rapid cycle. From seed to harvest, this beauty takes only 10 to 11 weeks, with a flowering period of 58-63 days. That means you won’t have to wait long before enjoying its thick, resin-coated buds.

Indoors, this strain thrives in a Sea of Green (SOG) setup, producing up to 450g/m² (15.9oz) of dense, trichome-laden nugs. Outdoors, it can yield around 40-50g (1.4-1.8oz) per plant, making it a solid option for those looking for quick and consistent harvests.

Effects and Aroma

True to its name, Douce Nuit (meaning "sweet night" in French) is the perfect strain to wind down after a long day. With THC levels ranging between 10-20%, it delivers a soothing, body-melting high that relaxes muscles and clears the mind without overwhelming intensity.

Flavor-wise, this strain is a treat. Expect a rich, earthy base with sweet, hash-like undertones, reminiscent of classic old-school strains. Some phenotypes even carry subtle hints of citrus and fuel, adding an extra layer of complexity to the smoke.

Growing Tips & Our Take

Douce Nuit Auto is one of those strains that make growing cannabis feel effortless. It's naturally resilient to pests and diseases, meaning growers won’t have to battle mold, mites, or mildew as often as with other strains. However, maintaining good airflow and keeping humidity levels in check is always a good practice.

Thanks to its autoflowering genetics, this strain thrives in a variety of conditions. It performs exceptionally well in a temperate or Mediterranean climate, but since it's quick and compact, it’s also a solid option for indoor growers who want multiple harvests per year. Just keep in mind that this little powerhouse enjoys a good dose of light—so if you're growing indoors, give it at least 18-20 hours of light daily for the best results.

We’d say this strain falls into the easy-to-grow category. Whether you're a beginner looking for a smooth start or an experienced grower seeking a hassle-free addition to your garden, Douce Nuit Auto delivers. Its sturdy structure, short flowering time, and forgiving nature make it a great choice for anyone who wants a reliable and rewarding grow.

What stands out the most? Definitely the combination of its compact size, fast cycle, and heavy resin production. It’s the perfect stealthy strain for those who love old-school indica genetics but don’t want to wait months for a harvest.

This strain has a full life cycle of 10-11 weeks from seed to harvest, with a flowering time of 58-63 days. Its autoflowering nature means it doesn’t rely on light cycle changes to start blooming, making it an excellent choice for growers who want a quick turnaround.
