Power Plant XL Autoflowering is a crossing of Zambeza’s feminized Power Plant XL and Ruderalis. The genetics of Power Plant are known for high yields, uplifting Sativa effects, and their South African origin. Zambeza Seeds decided to offer growers an indica-dominant autoflowering hybrid, with an amazingly short life cycle of 55-65 days. Smokers can be assured to still get the uplifting Sativa effects of Power Plant, paired with a powerful stone.
Indoor growers who decided to grow this variety, will cultivate plants with typical heights of 60-90cm, yielding up to 350-400g/m². The Sativa genetics are responsible for plants that stretch a little bit more outdoors, to heights of 80-120cm. Outdoor growers can expect average yields of 40-80g per plant. Don’t expect buds of the highest density! Power Plant XL Autoflowering produces buds of lower density in comparison to other indica-dominant strains. This gives especially outdoor growers a major advantage in terms of mould resistance, in difficult climates for example.
The increased amount of Indica genetics didn’t only promote powerful growth. They also shifted the smoking experience into being more relaxed. The classical uplifting high of Power Plant is still part of the effect, but smokers will also profit from relaxing attributes, and as an ultimate consequence, from the feeling of being calm and incredibly stoned. THC levels were tested at 15%, and aromas are equally strong. It’s a rather classical blend of sweet and skunky aromas.
Power Plant XL Autoflowering can be seen as the customized version of the original Power Plant. It features an increased amount of Indica genetics, powerful and reliable growth in almost every environment, and a strong effect that works two-sided. It’s the right choice for growers who want to grow a strong and powerful hybrid in a short period of time.

Strain FAQ
Are Ruderalis strains THC-rich?
Ruderalis strains historically contained minimal THC but high CBD, making them appealing for medical study. These days there are more and more ruderalis strains with higher THC content.
Why are hybrid cannabis strains created?
Hybrid strains are often created to improve flavour, THC/CBD ratios, or relaxation or energy effects. Hybrid cannabis allows for a variety of strains to suit different tastes and needs.
Can auto-flowering strains adapt to varied conditions?
The tough ruderalis roots of auto-flowering strains make them cannabis' all-terrain vehicles. They can handle tough weather and unexpected pests, making life easier for those in difficult situations or just starting out.
How have indica strains been used traditionally?
Indica strains were used in ancient medicines and rituals long before they became popular among cannabis users. This strong cultural connection shows indica strains' extensive past in human history.
How have breeders improved medium flowering time strains' pest and disease resistance?
In pest-prone areas, selective breeding has made some medium-flowering cultivars more resistant to pests and illnesses. Increased resistance is said to be able to reduce chemical treatment use, enabling healthier output and decreasing maintenance.
