Genetics & Origins

- Sativa-Indica Balanced Phenotype (Most Common) – Compact yet high-yielding, with 9.5-week flowering, heavy resin production, and intensely fruity, sweet terpenes.
- Sativa-Dominant Phenotype (Rare) – Larger plants with an open structure, longer 10-week flowering, and a woody, earthy aroma profile reminiscent of pure African sativas.
Effects & Experience
Auto Malawi x Northern Lights offers a three-stage high:
- Euphoric & Thought-Provoking – A mentally stimulating, lucid onset that enhances creativity.
- Warm & Dreamy – A gentle body buzz wraps around you, easing tension and deepening relaxation.
- Narcotic & Sedative – A deep, tranquil finish that lulls you into a calm, meditative state.
Flavor & Aroma
- Primary Notes: Strawberry yogurt, pineapple juice, honeyed cereal
- Secondary Notes: Cured wood, floral spice, and resinous sweetness
- Rare Undertones: Woody, earthy, and fermented fruit (in sativa phenotypes)
The dominant phenotypes exude a creamy, fruity aroma reminiscent of Petit Suisse yogurt, while the rarer sativa-heavy expressions develop a woodier, spiced scent with floral highlights.
