Auto NL effects are mostly calming.

Auto NL is a modern, auto-flowering variety derived from ruderalis genetics. Designed for accessibility, this strain is well suited for both indoor and outdoor cultivation, requiring only a 40-day flowering period to reach maturity. While the plant maintains a low yield, its ease of growth makes it a reliable choice for cultivators seeking an efficient, low-maintenance production cycle.

The terpene profile is dominated by myrcene, followed by caryophyllene, limonene, pinene, and terpinolene. This complex chemical architecture continues with linalool, beta-pinene, humulene, nerolidol, and ocimene, rounded out by trace amounts of bisabolol, guaiol, camphene, caryophyllene-oxide, and p-cymene. This specific arrangement of terpenes provides a distinct sensory profile, mapping a diverse range of aromatic notes that define the user experience.

As a THC-dominant cultivar, Auto NL produces effects characterized as relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These properties make it a viable option for users managing stress, pain, or difficulty with sleep. Given its stable genetic development, the strain has gone on to contribute to the creation of notable offspring, most notably Critical Sour.
