Week by week
Germination: Days 1–7
Pop the seed.
- Soak in a moist paper towel or plant 1cm deep in light, airy soil.
- Keep warm (22–25°C), humid and dark until the sprout appears.
- Moist, never soggy.
Seedling: Weeks 2–3
First true leaves.
- Gentle light on 18/6, high humidity (~65%).
- Tiny waterings near the stem; let the top dry between.
- Quarter-strength nutrients at most.
Vegetative: Weeks 4–6 (auto)
Build the plant.
- Autoflowers veg briefly then flower on their own, start in the final pot, don't transplant late.
- Feed grow (high-N) nutrients; train (LST/topping) for an even canopy.
- Hybrid structure, balance height and bush with light training.
Flowering: ~8–9 weeks of bloom
Buds bulk up.
- Stays on 18/6 to harvest.
- Switch to bloom (high-P/K) nutrients; lower humidity (~45%) to prevent bud rot.
- Watch trichomes: mostly cloudy with some amber = peak ripeness.
Flush & harvest: Final 1–2 weeks
Finish clean.
- Plain water (no nutrients) the last 1–2 weeks for a smoother smoke.
- Harvest, wet-trim, dry slowly (~60°F / 60% RH, 7–14 days).
- Cure in jars 2+ weeks, burping daily at first.
~12–13 weeks seed to harvest.
Growing Auto Creeper outdoors
Sown outdoors in mid May, after the last frost, Auto Creeper should be ready in early to mid August. That leaves time for a second run: a seed sown by early July finishes around late September to early October.
Drying and curing
Its citrus notes come from the most volatile terpenes, the first to go in a warm, fast dry. Dry slowly around 18 °C and 60% humidity for 10 to 14 days and cure in jars to keep them.
How Auto Creeper compares
At 12 to 13 weeks it takes longer than 96% of the 72 autoflowers in our guides (typical: 10.5 weeks), so plan the extra time.
