The resultant version should start up to a month earlier than the pure Kalamata Red and so will be of interest to all growers who don’t have the joy of long, warm late summers. Growers in Northern Europe or high latitude growers who wish to try the Kalamata Red can at least grow and smoke this 50% Kalamata variety and appreciate its effects. That is not to take anything away from the Auto sativa mothers. 3 very different females selected from highly regarded regular stock. The genetic mix within the Auto sativa mothers is complex. It started with an Automatic Northern Lights that was hybridised with a pure haze plant. The resultant plants were inbred until they were true 100% autos themselves and the process was repeated with a Zamal mother until, once again, fully Automatic seeds were produced. It is from these seeds that the 3 favourite mothers were selected. All 3 had their own nuances and aromas but all were based around a very very sweet and floral terpene profile. Yields, flower quality and resins were very very impressive and the highs – for fully automatic cannabis plants – were excellent.
The fathers were carefully selected for their citric aromas, resin production, general vigour and sturdy frames. The overall growth
