Lime Spritzer Auto by Mavericks Genetics

Lime Spritzer Auto is a bright, Sativa-leaning autoflower that smells like fresh-cut limes and tropical punch. Mavericks Genetics built it from Lime Spritzer and Pineapple, giving growers a zesty, energetic autoflower with light green buds and yellow highlights. THC is rated around 25% (±2%), and total terpenes reach about 2.8%.

The flowers are compact and heavily resin-coated, with a pale lime color that sets them apart from darker, Indica-heavy autos. The clear-headed effect makes it a natural pick for daytime sessions.

Lime Spritzer Auto flowers on its own, so there is no light switch to manage. Run it on 18/6 or 20/4 from sprout to harvest. Mavericks lists 7–8 weeks of flowering and a full cycle of roughly 9–13 weeks from sprouting, with yields up to 500 g/m² (1.64 oz/ft²) indoors and around 350 g/plant (12.3 oz/plant) outdoors.

Lime Spritzer Auto Lineage

Mavericks lists the cross as Lime Spritzer x Pineapple. The Lime Spritzer side drives the sharp lime and citrus character, while Pineapple brings sweet tropical depth and juicy fruit notes. A Ruderalis background provides the autoflowering trait.

The breeder ratio is 60% Sativa and 40% Indica. In the grow room that means a slightly taller, more open frame than most Indica-heavy autos, with good spacing between bud sites.

Aroma, Flavor and Effect

The aroma opens with zesty lime and fresh citrus, then shifts to sweet tropical fruit. There is a light, sparkling quality to it, like a lime soda poured over pineapple chunks. With roughly 2.8% total terpenes, the smell is strong and easy to pick up through a closed tent.

The flavor follows closely: a sharp citrus inhale with a sweet, fruity exhale and a faint herbal edge.

Mavericks describes the effect as uplifting, energetic and clear-headed, well suited to daytime use and creative work. At around 25% THC it is still potent, so moderate amounts keep the experience bright and focused.

Growing Lime Spritzer Auto Indoors and Outdoors

Indoors, start in the final container and keep lights at 18/6 or 20/4 for the full run. The Sativa influence gives some stretch at the start of flowering, so leave headroom or use gentle LST to keep the canopy flat. Avoid topping late, and keep nutrients moderate, since autos are easy to overfeed.

Outdoors, Lime Spritzer Auto appreciates full sun and warm temperatures. Mavericks lists around 350 g/plant (12.3 oz/plant) under good conditions. Its quick cycle lets growers plan a spring and a summer crop in warmer climates.

Harvest when most trichomes are cloudy for the most energetic expression, and jar the buds slowly over several weeks to keep the lime notes crisp.
