Impressive sativa dominant hybrid that offers the best qualities of our Zamaldelica elite mother in autoflowering format.
Compact, manageable and fast-flowering sativa of high THC levels for an autoflowering strain. It produces tight resinous buds with little leaf, with the complex and refined terpene profile of candy, tropical fruits, liquor, anise, musk and sweet carrots, and the intense euphoric and psychedelic psychoactivity that has made Zamaldelica world famous. Its sativa qualities, potency, complexity and duration will blow away even the most demanding sativa smokers, who will be left wondering how on earth a sativa effect of such caliber can come from an autoflowering strain.
If Zamaldelica has made a huge impact on the cannabis scene since its release a decade ago, enthroning her as one of the best sativas of recent times, we’re sure that the autoflowering version of this super sativa will cause the same sensation, and will quickly establish itself as one of the best autoflowering sativa varieties available on the market.

- Genetics Zamaldelica (Zamal x Malawi/Thai) elite x Auto Malawi Northern Lights.
- Structure Plants of sativa dominant morphology, compact and manageable, with a big main cola, strong branching and high lateral production.
- Bouquet Most of the plants (60%) offer the complex and refined terpene profile of our Zamaldelica elite mother: candy, floral, fruity (mango, peach), liquor, aniseed, musky and sweet carrots. 25% of the plants produce lemony fermented terpenes reminiscent of a good citric Haze hybrid, and finally a small proportion of plants that have woodier, drier, spicy and licorice African sativa aromas and flavors closer to Malawi.
- High 75% of the plants have an intense energetic, euphoric and psychedelic psychoactivity, with a dreamlike development that immerses the perception and the mind in a completely new universe, proving to be overwhelming for many. The remaining 25% of plants produce more narcotic and relaxing effects, always of the highest quality.
- Terpene profile It mainly contains the following monoterpenes: high amounts of terpinolene and/or beta myrcene, followed by moderate amounts of trans ocimene, and variability in the content of small amounts of limonene, alpha pinene, beta pinene and linalool. Sesquiterpenes: high amounts of beta caryophyllene, moderate amounts of alpha humulene and variability in the content of small amounts of trans nerolidol and alpha bisobolol.
- Growing Tips As usual with autoflowering strains, Auto Zamaldelica starts to flower after 4 or 5 weeks from germination, regardless of the indoor photoperiod or outdoor season, allowing it to mature properly in latitudes far from the equator, where the photodependent strains start to bloom too late to mature correctly. Therefore, it is important to maximize the growth as much as possible using from the beginning pots of at least 7 liters for indoor growing, and pots of at least 15-20 liters for outdoor growing. It can also be cultivated in mid-latitude climates, finishing in summer time when it is started in spring, being able to benefit in flowering from the longest days with highest light intensity and warmer temperatures, finishing months ahead of the usual autumn harvest of the photodependent strains. Excellent adaptability to indoor growing, where it can be flowered and harvested next to the mothers with a growing photoperiod, and thus to be able to obtain a harvest without having to prepare another growing area with different photoperiods, as it happens with the photodependent strains. We recommend moderate levels of nutrients during the growing stage, and moderate-high during the flowering stage.
Strain FAQ
What is responsible for the Anise flavour?
Anethole, a cannabis terpene-like molecule, gives anise plants and cannabis strains their anise taste. Anethole isn't a terpene and doesn't present in cannabis, but its structural similarities can give it an anise flavour.
Are there CBD-rich Central Asian cannabis strains?
Yes, many of these strains have high CBD levels despite their high THC levels. They are said to be able to aid medicinal users seeking comfort without strong intoxicating effects.
What attracts legal cultivators to mid-range THC strains?
It has been commonly reported that these strains are more adaptive to many temperatures and legal growing circumstances than high-THC strains. They are therefore popular with legal growers seeking hardy and adaptable plants due to their flexibility and potential medicinal and recreational effects.
Why is flowering time important for phenotypic expression?
Terpenes and cannabinoids, which give plants their flavours and effects, develop during flowering. This time is said to ensure a complete manifestation of the plant's potential by allowing for a richer, more nuanced profile than faster-flowering strains.
How do average-yielding strains handle pests and diseases?
Many of them have reportedly developed natural resistances to common pests and diseases thanks to their varied genetics. This resilience is said to make them easier to maintain and can reduce the need for chemical treatments. This is an overall win for legal organic growers and those focused on sustainable methods.
