Growing Tips for B-52 Auto
B-52 Autoflowering marijuana is a solid grower. The plants grow to be manageably short in height with significant lateral branching. It is a prolific bloomer and yields large numbers of flowers when ready to harvest. Growing B-52 Auto plants can be completed by experienced cannabis cultivators. The process is fairly simple for folks with a green thumb, and a Mediterranean climate is preferred as it offers ample sunshine, warmth, and the right amount of humidity, each of which is an important ingredient to a healthy grow. If you’ve never grown cannabis before, your best bet at getting this strain to harvest is to grow it either indoors or outdoors in a greenhouse where you can dial in the conditions to replicate its natural growing environment. An outdoor grow setup is doable for these plants in regions like California, with long, warm summers. For those growing indoors, a hydroponic setup is the best choice because, once again, the plants grow best in a controlled environment. You will also want to utilize high-intensity grow lights to replicate the sun’s powerful UV rays. Maintaining the correct temperature and lighting is incredibly important for these plants to reach their peak potential. If you want to reap the rewards of large yields of high THC buds, then you are going to need to follow a few simple rules. The ideal temperature for these plants is between 68-80 degrees Fahrenheit. Humidity levels of approximately 60-70% during the vegetative phase, gradually decreasing to 40-50% during the flowering stage, will ensure a healthy grow. Low-Stress Training (LST), pruning, and trimming are the best methods of training for these plants. Because these plants grow bushy, they will require maintenance to ensure that they don’t grow out of control. B-52 Auto plants require an 18-24 hour light cycle during the vegetative stage of growth. Because it is an autoflowering strain, it does not require a change in light cycle to induce the flowering stage of growth. B-52 Auto will change into the flowering stage on its own.
Yields, Flowering Time, and Harvest
- Flowering Time: Growing indoors, you can expect the B-52 Auto strain to harvest after a flowering period of 55-65 days.
- Yields: While Indoor yields are around 500 grams per square meter, outdoor grows typically produce up to 500 grams per plant. Even though this strain is better suited for intermediate growers, first-timers should be able to hit these massive yields, especially considering that this strain is lower-maintenance than a photoperiod strain of cannabis.
- Harvest: Outdoor grows should be ready to harvest around the end of September, depending on when you planted your seeds.
B-52 Auto: Earthy and Potent
The B-52 Auto terpene profile is directly responsible for how the plant smells and tastes, and the strong effects it has on its users. The most dominant terpene in this strain is caryophyllene, while myrcene and terpinolene are the secondary terpenes.
- Caryophyllene: Most Dominant – The “spicy and peppery” terpene. Found in cinnamon, cloves, black pepper, and cannabis.
- Myrcene: Secondary Terpene – Myrcene can be found in a number of cannabis strains and provides the herb with an earthy and woody flavor and aroma.
- Terpinolene: Natural Flavors – Terpinolene is dominant in about one in ten cannabis strains. It features a natural flavor and aroma with woody and earthy accents combined with floral and citrus notes.
