Mokum’s Tulip Auto by Dutch Passion

Fans of the photoperiod Mokum’s Tulip kept asking Dutch Passion the same thing: could they get that Gelato sweetness without managing light schedules? Mokum’s Tulip Auto is the answer. The breeders took their cup-winning Gelato x Sherbet hybrid and crossed it with Auto Colorado Cookies, locking in the autoflowering trait while keeping the frosty look and dessert-shop terpenes.

The payoff is a compact, stable autoflower that goes from seed to harvest in roughly 11-12 weeks, or around 80-85 days, whether it runs under 18 or 20 hours of light per day. There is no 12/12 flip to plan, no timers to change, and outdoors you can start several runs in one warm season.

Don’t mistake compact for weak. Mokum’s Tulip Auto regularly lands between 15 and 20% THC, and the buds stay hard and dense even after drying, so a small nug goes a long way. Dutch Passion describes four phenotypes, some of them showing purple tones in the flowers toward the end of bloom.

Aroma, Flavor and the Autoflower High

Open a jar and the first impression is sweet, creamy and floral, with ripe fruit and a candy edge that anyone familiar with Gelato will recognize. What sets this auto apart is a soft vanilla note that is rare in cannabis. A few phenotypes lean slightly toward diesel and kush, but less so than the photoperiod parent. Smoked clean or vaped, the flavor comes across creamy and candy-like.

The effect is a true hybrid that tilts toward the body. A calming physical heaviness arrives with a slightly euphoric, energetic and dreamy head that keeps things pleasant rather than sluggish. Thanks to the potency, the high lasts a good while. It works for a lazy afternoon, a session in the sun, or a slow evening on the couch.

How to Grow Mokum’s Tulip Auto

This is an easy plant. Mokum’s Tulip Auto stays compact to medium, usually 50-100 cm (20-39 in) depending on pot size and conditions, with a strong central cola surrounded by firm side buds. Branches are vigorous and stay upright even in late bloom, so there is little need for training or support. No special feeding is required, which makes her a natural first auto for new growers.

Run her under an 18/6 or 20/4 schedule from start to finish. She grows happily in organic soil, coco or hydro, but prefers an airy, oxygen-rich root zone, so fabric pots, air pots or root pouches are a smart choice. Indoors, add a clip fan to move air through the lower canopy and keep humidity low; Dutch Passion recommends staying under 40% if you can, since the dense buds are prone to mold and top rot in damp air.

With good care, indoor yields reach about 400-500 g/m² (1.31-1.64 oz/ft²); first-timers should aim for around 300-400 g/m² (0.98-1.31 oz/ft²). Outdoors, expect roughly 50-100 g per plant (1.8-3.5 oz/plant), with the best results in warm, dry, sunny spots. In cooler or wetter regions, grow in pots on a balcony or patio under some shelter rather than out in the open. Don’t toss the trim: the resin-heavy sugar leaves make excellent ice-water hash or rosin.
