Zoap Automatic is a 60% indica-dominant hybrid created by crossing Rainbow Sherbet #16 with Pink Guava resulting in robust genetics. Rainbow Sherbet #16 combines Blackberry with Hash Plant and Hindu Kush genetics and Pink Guava brings in OZ Kush resulting in plants that are remarkably well-balanced in terms of growth pattern and effects.
Zoap Feminized plants are extremely short and rather bushy resulting in plants that require a fair bit more horizontal area than vertical space. Despite their short size, these plants are still capable of generating XL yields making them an amazing pick for growers with limited headroom who still want a bountiful harvest.
Growers should expect Zoap Automatic cannabis seeds to develop into extremely short and bushy plants with internodal spacing on the shorter end. These plants typically develop a robust main cola which can occupy the upper third of the plant, while the lateral branches each support several flowering sites. Zoap Automatic plants might not grow very tall, but their lateral branches spread out quite a bit making these plants something of a space invader.
When grown indoors, Zoap Automatic plants typically finish flowering at heights of 25-80 cm and can produce XL yields in the range of 275-400 grams per square meter over the course of their 60 to 65-day flowering cycle. Outdoor growers can expect these plants to grow only slightly larger finishing at heights of 35-100 cm with yields of 225-350 grams per plant.
The buds from these plants are compact and resinous boasting a kaleidoscope of purple, pink, and lime-green hues. On top of these colours, a frosty layer of trichomes gives the flowers a glistening appearance. The buds, much like the rest of the plant, are covered in dense vegetation which, combined with their sticky nature, makes trimming a bit of a chore.
As an autoflowering strain, Zoap Automatic is poorly suited for advanced growing techniques. Their short internodal spacing and minimal growth mean that they cannot be grown in a screen of green (SCROG) setup or properly mainlined. On top of that, their slender branches don’t respond well to supercropping or lollipopping. Lastly, despite their short height, these plants’ expanding lateral branches mean that they cannot be planted closely enough for sea of green (SOG) grow.
As Zoap Automatic plants begin to flower, they give off a vibrant aroma that blends sweet fruits, citrus, and a subtle floral musk into a pleasant and powerful scent. As the plants mature, this aroma intensifies, filling the air with tropical and candy-like notes. Despite their size, these plants are quite smelly and growers may wish to take extra steps to mask the odour if they value discretion.
After the buds have been properly cured, they take on a sweet and tangy bouquet of guava, citrus, and candy with layers of lavender and earthy spice. Breaking open the buds reveals a sharp citrus zest and sugary finish. Making this a real winner at parties.
The taste of Zoap Automatic is dominated by rich and tropical fruit flavours accompanied by notes of guava and citrus candy on the inhale. On the exhale, users can look forward to smooth floral undertones with a hint of spice and earthy sweetness which leave behind a lingering tangy-sweet finish with a subtle yet complex herbal finish.
The effects of Zoap Automatic are extremely well-balanced. Things begin with a fast-acting burst of euphoria and creativity that’s perfect for boosting mood and sparking conversation. This leads to a smooth transition into a calming body high that alleviates stress and minor aches without locking you to the couch. These versatile effects make this strain a prime candidate for both social settings and a quiet evening at home.
