Purple Punch OG XL Auto by Sweet Seeds

Purple Punch OG XL Auto is the autoflowering edition of Sweet Seeds’ Purple Punch OG (SWS93), and it brings that dessert-meets-Kush character into a cycle that wraps up about 8 weeks from germination. Listed as variety SWS96, it belongs to the breeder’s fifth generation of autoflowers, a stage where size, resin and terpene output have caught up with many photoperiod plants.

The genetic split is clearly indica-leaning at 71.5% Indica, 27.7% Sativa and only 0.8% Ruderalis. In the garden that means a sturdy frame, juicy buds and heavy resin coverage, with plants finishing between 60 and 120 cm (24–47 in). Thanks to Grand Daddy Purple sitting deep in the family tree, some individuals flash purple or reddish tones in their leaves and flowers as harvest approaches.

Sweet Seeds highlights the unusually high terpene content of this strain and points to it as a strong candidate for resin extraction.

Purple Punch OG Meets Killer Kush Auto

The photoperiod parent is an elite, selected clone of Purple Punch OG, which itself combines Purple Punch (Larry OG x Grand Daddy Purple) with Star Killer (Skywalker OG Kush x Rare Dankness #2). Sweet Seeds crossed this clone with its own Killer Kush Auto (SWS56), a popular autoflower that contributes the day-neutral flowering response.

The result keeps the sweet aroma of the mother and adds speed and a tidy size, with OG Kush showing in the dense structure and spicy backbone.

Aroma, Flavor and Effect

Open a jar and the first impression is sweet and fruity. Give it a second and a peppery, spicy OG Kush layer rises underneath, adding depth and a slightly earthy finish. The breeder sums it up as sweet, spicy and fruity, and the balance between those three notes is what makes the profile complex rather than sugary.

On the palate the smoke stays rich and rounded, with the fruit leading on the inhale and the Kush spice lingering on the exhale. With THC listed at 18–22% and CBD around 0.5%, the effect is described as intense but relaxing. A warm, happy mood settles in first, then the body loosens up and the pace of the evening slows down.

Growing Purple Punch OG XL Auto Indoors and Outdoors

As an autoflower, Purple Punch OG XL Auto needs no light switch. Run 18/6 or 20/4 from seed to harvest and the plant moves into bloom on its own after a few weeks of vegetative growth. Start it in its final container, 11–15 liters (3–4 gallons) indoors, so the short cycle is never slowed by a transplant. Indoors the breeder lists 400–500 g/m² (1.31–1.64 oz/ft²).

Gentle LST in the second and third week helps open the canopy and brings the side branches up toward the light. Avoid heavy pruning or late topping, since an auto has little time to recover.

Outdoors, plants yield 60–180 g/plant (2.1–6.3 oz/plant). Day length does not matter, so more than one crop per season is possible. Sow after the last frost, give it full sun and an airy, well-draining mix, and plan the harvest away from long wet spells, since the compact, resinous buds appreciate dry weather in the final two weeks.
