Strawberry Cheesecake Auto by Barney's Farm

Strawberry Cheesecake Auto by Barney’s Farm is a dessert-themed autoflower with a truly unusual twist. It brings together a subtle Strawberry Pie phenotype, a rare Afghan OG cutting and BF Super Auto #1, resulting in a 75% Indica plant rated at 23% THC that finishes in 75–80 days from seed.

The bouquet is unlike most fruit strains. Think sweet, tangy cheese with aged, earthy skunk, finished by a gentle release of strawberry hash and wild berries. Add sticky, purple-tinged flowers buried under thick trichomes, and it is easy to see where the cheesecake name comes from.

For an auto, it is a strong producer. Indoors, plants reach 90–110 cm (35–43 in) and yield 550–650 g/m² (1.80–2.13 oz/ft²). Outdoors, they grow to 100–140 cm (39–55 in) and deliver 280–350 g/plant (9.9–12.3 oz/plant).

Lineage: Strawberry Pie x Afghan OG x BF Super Auto #1

Barney’s Farm worked through several strawberry terpene-rich strains before choosing a Strawberry Pie phenotype with a refined, subtle berry character. It was then crossed with a rare Afghan OG cutting, whose Kush traits bring rapid growth, strong production and a sturdy, forgiving structure.

The final cross with BF Super Auto #1 made the plant autoflowering and helped it thrive in cooler climates. It is larger than most autos but still compact enough for tents, and it completes its life cycle quickly.

Aroma, Flavor and Effect

The aroma combines strawberry hash, cheesecake and earthy notes. On closer inspection, a tangy, goat cheese-like sweetness meets aged skunk, with fresh wild berries drifting over the top.

The flavor is ripe strawberry and creamy cheesecake over an earthy base. It tastes like a slice of strawberry cheesecake enjoyed in an old wooden cabin, sweet and rich with a rustic edge.

The effect is uplifting and euphoric at first, then gently relaxing as the Indica side settles in. It is a mellow, good-humored high that suits evenings, movies and relaxed time with friends.

Growing Strawberry Cheesecake Auto Indoors and Outdoors

As an autoflower, it blooms on its own without a 12/12 switch. Indoors, run 18/6 or 20/4 from seed to harvest. Sow straight into the final container and use LST (bending and tying branches) to spread the blunt, sturdy flowering branches for even light.

During veg the plant looks unassuming, then flowering branches stretch quickly and dark green leaves can turn deep purple. Indoors, it reaches 90–110 cm (35–43 in) and returns 550–650 g/m² (1.80–2.13 oz/ft²) in 75–80 days. The buds are sticky and resin-heavy, with deep orange pistils under a thick layer of trichomes.

Outdoors, plants grow to 100–140 cm (39–55 in) and produce 280–350 g/plant (9.9–12.3 oz/plant). Thanks to its Super Auto heritage, it copes well with cooler climates, which makes it a fine option for northern US gardens with short summers.
