Apricot Auto is an indica-dominant Fast Buds autoflower known for its apricot marmalade terpenes and its colorful, resin-drenched flowers. She comes from Compound Genetix’s Apricot (light purple cut) crossed with Fast Buds’ GG4 Auto F6, stabilized as an F5 feminized autoflower at 80% Indica / 20% Sativa.
Fast Buds calls her a world champion and highlights her as a standout washer, quoting a 5% return for extraction. THC reaches up to 26%, and the full cycle from seed to harvest takes roughly 9-10 weeks with no photoperiod switch; 18/6 or 20/4 lighting carries her all the way.
Plants stay sturdy and reach 80-120 cm (31-47 in), in Fast Buds’ XL size class. Short internodes and heavy side branches pack in dense, frosty buds, yielding 450-550 g/m² (1.5-1.8 oz/ft²) indoors and about 50-170 g (2-6 oz) per plant outdoors.
Her looks are a big part of the appeal: neon green leaves contrast with pink, purple, and orange hues, all under a sugary layer of trichomes.
Apricot Jam Terpenes and a Heavy Evening Effect
The nose is sweet stone fruit with a jammy, marmalade quality, backed by mixed fruit and a woody base. Fast Buds lists apricot, fruits, sweet, and woody as her main taste notes, and a well-timed flush helps bring out the tropical, fruity side of the aroma.
The effect starts with a cheerful mood lift and then sinks into deep, full-body calm. Growers most frequently describe feeling relaxed, with happy and hungry close behind and some reporting sleepiness. She fits late evenings when there is nothing left on the schedule.
With heavy resin and a strong reported wash return, Apricot Auto is a natural pick for hash makers and rosin pressers.
How to Grow Apricot Auto
Her bushy canopy benefits from low-stress training and some selective defoliation to improve airflow and light penetration. Do this early, while the plant is still in vegetative growth, so she has time to recover.
Keep humidity under control in late flower, as the dense buds can trap moisture. A proper flush before harvest helps both flavor and bag appeal, showing off her vivid colors.
