Picking favourite strains is like picking favourite children, except way, way harder. So we thought we’d find it slightly easier to narrow it down to a month-by-month basis – which regulars caught our eye, which fems took our fancy, which autos are an auto-basket add. In this case, we’ve picked 5 of our most cherished, recent autos – each one has the official Chosen Seeds’ seal of recommendation, which is a big deal, if you ask us. Cast your eye over our favoured picks – and if you have any you think we’ve missed off, do let us know in the comments (without swearing, of course. Well, you can swear once. Just don’t use the ‘C’ word). Have a great April, genetic preservers.

1. Gorilla G4 Auto

Created by messrs Blimburn Seeds, their latest auto continues their frankly stunning track record for producing quality genetics. By crossing their own Gorilla G4 with a secret hybrid, they created this beauty – and we couldn’t be more thankful for their mad scientist tinkering. A looker that has substance as well as beauty, it manages to hold onto its parents’ qualities while also bringing new traits to the table. Emerald green leaves that eventually skew a glorious dewy amber, its resin-layered buds are positively drool-worthy. Throw in the euphoric, stimulating high, and you’ve got a keeper.

2. Diablo XL Auto

The aptly named Diablo XL Auto is the most in demand strain from Birmingham’s finest BSB Genetics – and for good reason. Apart from being a mammoth yielder (as BSB put it, the XL is there for a reason) Diablo also packs a serious taste profile, including hints of mango and big bashes of lemon. A buzzing sativa that will activate your social tendencies (or negate your antisocial ones honed expertly during lockdown), her buds are sticky, fat, resinous, and the exquisite high bears all the quality hallmarks of its Jack Herer parentage.

3. Cosmic Bomb Auto

“When we were working on a new addition to our range of Autoflowering genetics, we really wanted something that would offer that little bit extra to casual users and connoisseurs alike. Many autos are considered less interesting and certainly less potent than their photoperiod cousins, so we knew it was time for a change. From that desire, Cosmic bomb was born.” It’s rare for a seed breeder to do exactly what it sets out to do when introducing a new product, but Bomb Seeds did exactly that with Cosmic Bomb. A high that borders on the psychedelic has solid THC levels, sweet taste and so much more. A prime auto to consider.

4. Auto Yuhbary

Auto Yuhbary is a guaranteed good time, and we knew that before we even got our hands on it – how’s that? It’s from the geniuses over at Anesia Seeds, for christ sakes. As the old saying goes, only three things are guaranteed in life: death, taxes, and fire Anesia Seeds’ genetics. Auto Yuhbary continues that proud tradition by offering just SO MUCH. THC content that can run up to 27%? Check. A fruity aroma and unforgettable taste sensation? Check. A relaxing, head-calming high that will make you forget about the ills of the world and focus absolutely everything you have on the waffle you’re about to devour? Waffle. Whoops, sorry, we were busy forgetting about the ills of the world. Jokes aside, she’s an absolute beauty, and you simply cannot go wrong with her – or any of Anesia’s genetics, to be fair.

5. Auto Future #1

The auto version of our *best-selling seed ever*, we were frothing at the mouth when we were alerted of this one being engineered. Unlike most things, it lived up to the hype – and arguably even managed to surpass it. 2 years of selection and stabilisation went into this absolute work of art, work which culminated in a murderers row of quality genetic traits: a mentally occupying, physical high that induces positivity, a THC content that can stretch up to a mind-boggling 28%, a taste profile that is like a kaleidoscope of fruity flavours, eye-catching visuals and easy grow tendencies – just like Future #1, it has it all. Except it’s easier. So it has more. Is there anything else left to be said?
