i just ordered super cali haze auto seed from short stuff. i was wondering what exactly is a super auto? higher yields or really good marketing? i tried a couple google searches and no definitive answer appeared.

Marketing ploy... might be fire, but high yields, doubt it.

From what I gather it's because it's a sativa dom and because it can supposedly reach 2 meters outdoor, yielding up to 4 ounces; so they say anyway. It is special somewhat because of it's heavy sativa traits, not too many sativa dom autos out there, specially haze.

Yeah here's another example, they just didn't use SUPER but EXTREME instead lol. Check it out here https://www.cannabis-seeds-bank.co.uk/dutch-passion-auto-xtreme/prod_3955.html

It's a Dutch Passion AutoXreme!

It also has Haze so all these super and extreme names you'll be seeing around are auto's with haze I believe.

The difference is a normal auto flowers and finishes 55-75 days from seed. A super auto flowers and finishes 100 - 120 days from seed

Mainly marketing I mean Super Cali Haze does get bigger than most autos but still only yields on average 33 percent more than "normal" autos. Takes about 33 percent longer so yeah. Overall its good smoke and in my top favorite autos to grow and smoke

super autos are actually very good, the term 'super' really shouldnt be used to describe them, i prefer semi autos. this is all because they stay in veg for about 8weeks rather than 3 or so, so they do get alot bigger and yield alot more than your regular auto, easy sativa, grapefruit and number 1 are all ones iv tried and have had average to great results from them, and the smoke is quite good aswell.

Im testing some new genetics for stitch from flash seeds, he produced the super autos through years of trial and error. they are no joke and might be something that should be left outdoors some of his strains with the label super auto have been known to produce 6-9oz dry outdoors in as little as 130 days from seed. it seems to good to be true for alot of photoperiod growers because its something new but we have to realize fems arent something that people wanted until the last few years. anything to make the growing experience a little easier is a plus. Check out my journal of the test genetics.
