Red Skunk Auto

Red Skunk Auto comes from a masterful cross between the classic Skunk Auto and a special selection of Red Poison. The result? An indica-dominant plant that inherits the striking reddish hues of its parents, making it one of the most attractive, eye-catching strains out there.

From the moment it sprouts, Red Skunk Auto shows impressive hybrid vigor. It develops a strong main stem and long, flexible side branches that carry the weight of its dense, compact buds. Its maximum height is around 3 feet (about 39 inches), making it ideal for discreet grows on patios or balconies. Its compact size makes it the perfect plant if you'd rather not draw attention.

The buds of Red Skunk Auto are a true work of art. Large and compact, they show a very striking reddish color that contrasts beautifully with the thick layer of glistening, purple-tinged trichomes covering them. Even the hash made from this strain keeps those gorgeous reddish tones.
