Purple Lemonade Auto: Royal Queen Seeds Strain of the Year 2024

2024 is coming to a close, and what a year it's been for weed. This year, we brought several new strains to market, including an exclusive collection of Mike Tyson collaboration strains that instantly won over countless growers. But amongst all the hype surrounding the Tyson 2.0 champions, a compact auto plant quietly won over a league of passionate followers.

Meet Purple Lemonade Auto—a new descendant of classic Haze and Skunk genetic lines packed with eye-catching colours, mouthwatering aromas, potent effects, and growth traits that'll impress even the pickiest cultivators. Keep reading to learn why she deserves a spot in your garden right now.

Purple Lemonade Auto: A Fresh Twist on Classic Genetics

Haze and Skunk are to cannabis like chocolate and vanilla are to ice cream. So when our breeders combined Purple Haze, Lemon Skunk, and Sweet Skunk Auto, they knew they were in for a treat. But when they first laid their eyes on mature Purple Lemonade Auto plants, even our experts couldn't believe the exceptional result of this 3-way cross.

Purple Lemonade Auto is fast yet vigorous, compact yet high-yielding, and both exceptionally flavourful and potent. Gaze at her beautiful flowers, light them up, and you'll know exactly where this purple queen gets her name from (as well as her title as our Strain of the Year).

Flavour, Aroma, and Effects of Purple Lemonade Auto: Sweetly Refreshing, Deeply Uplifting, and Gently Soothing

Crack the lid on your curing jars and Purple Lemonade Auto will douse you (and the entire room you're sitting in) in her sweet perfume. Packed with a variety of terpenes, her aroma offers an undeniable upfront citric sweetness that she inherited from Lemon Skunk. Take another whiff, however, and you'll also pick up on subtle herbal undertones reminiscent of lavender, roses, and geraniums—a hand-me-down from Purple Haze, no doubt. Combined with her deep purple hues and snow-white coating of resin, there’s plenty to get excited about.

But there's more—Purple Lemonade Auto also packs great effects. Producing 22% THC on average, her dense, sticky flowers hold enough potency to satisfy even seasoned tokers with a tolerance. After inhaling her sweet smoke or vapor, settle in as you enjoy an uplifting cerebral euphoria that, after a while, tapers off into a warm and relaxing physical buzz.

On weeknights or weekends; with friends or while flying solo, Purple Lemonade Auto delivers a spectacular high that's versatile enough to elevate any situation or activity. Some people report enjoying Purple Lemonade Auto's initial euphoria to elevate creative sessions or early mornings, while others like to reserve her for evening walks around the neighborhood or chilled sessions at home. Combined with her sweet flavour, her uplifting buzz can also be the perfect pick-me-up when life gives you lemons!

Growing Purple Lemonade Auto: Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy

If it's speed and ease that you're after, then Purple Lemonade Auto will be quick to win you over. But it's the quality of her harvests that'll earn her a permanent spot in your garden. These seeds produce strong, robust plants every time and, just 10–12 weeks after germination, deliver heavy yields of delicious, top-shelf purple flowers.

After germinating, Purple Lemonade Auto plants veg for roughly 4 weeks. Thanks to their speed and vigour, Purple Lemonade Auto seedlings can grow to 6 cm and develop their first true leaves within 1 week. Just 4 weeks after germination, your Purple Lemonade Auto plants should stand around 30 cm tall, boast large and lush leaves, and be ready to transition into their bloom phase.

After stretching for 1–2 weeks, Purple Lemonade Auto plants usually clock in at 60–100 cm indoors and 70–120 cm outside. To avoid unnecessarily stressing these plants and to maximise their short veg time, remember to plant them directly in their final pots and avoid using any high-stress training techniques. Light LST and defoliation, on the other hand, can help to tidy up Purple Lemonade Auto's thick canopy and ensure she develops big, juicy flowers all over.

Over her 7–9-week flowering time, you'll see Purple Lemonade Auto grow heavy with long, thick flowers. Starting off a deep green colour, they'll naturally take on dark purple hues, which you can reinforce with cooler flowering temperatures. Come harvest time, your Purple Lemonade Auto plants will boast long colas made up of tight, rock-hard stacks of calyxes and dripping with resin.

Purple Lemonade Auto Testimonials

Not ready to just take our word that Purple Lemonade Auto is the hottest strain of 2024 to grow at home? Then don't—here's what other growers are saying after cultivating this phenomenal variety:

• T.K. says: "I grew it and it was really lightning fast. While others are still looking for their flowers, she already has big buds. Smells super delicious. And what can I say... She's just completely purple. I topped her after 2 weeks and she tolerated it well. One of the best this year. I'll grow her again and hope that RQS will bring out a femi of it. Then I would grow her indoors too".

• D.D. says: "I've been trying different new strains this 2024 and purple lemonade is the best tasting so far! So sweet!".

• A.A. says: "Thanks RQS for this amazing strain. I bought 5 different varieties from you and this one is for sure the best!! I LOVE Purple Lemonade!".

On GrowDiaries, countless cultivators have also grown and reviewed our Purple Lemonade Auto. ButterFliesLittleFarm, for example, grew the strain and went from seed to harvest in just 9 weeks using a 240W LED light, a simple grow tent, and high-quality soil and nutrients. "The smell is very intense, I would say more intense than the average autoflower. I have only great words of praise for Purple Lemonade which I would love to see again on the Farm sometime in the future", they said.

Meanwhile, grower CryptoProphet was just as impressed by Purple Lemonade Auto. "Beautiful plant and has the best smell", they wrote post-harvest.
