Sweet Berry Auto
Growing Sweet Berry Auto in New Zealand: a hybrid at 19% THC, creative, calm. Flowering window and height are on the page where we hold them, blank where we do not.
What the seed lot did on the bench
Every lot is checked before it goes on the shelf, and the yield figures come from New Zealand growers who sent us a harvest weight against a batch code. This lot was read on 2026-09-07, from a tray sample of 380.
Outdoor figures come from a New Zealand season, so they run below what the same cultivar reaches somewhere with a longer, drier autumn. Treat them as what this plant does here. The full report for this lot sets out the method and the terpene panel.
About Sweet Berry Auto
Days 1 to 14. Sweet Berry cracks on damp paper towel inside about two days and is through the medium by day three, given warmth and patience rather than intervention. Seedlings want humidity near 70% and no nutrients at all — the seed carries everything for the first week. By the end of the fortnight you are looking for even node spacing rather than height; a stretched seedling is a light problem, not a vigour signal. New to this? The free seeds on offer are a low-stakes way to practise the germination step.
Sweet Berry Through the Grow
Weeks 3 to 6. Growth stops being tentative. This is when training earns its keep: bend rather than cut if you are unsure, because a bent branch recovers in a day and a topped one costs a week. Expect fairly even growth in both directions.
The transition. There is no flip. Flowering starts on its own, which means any stunting from an over-eager early feed is now permanent.
Mid-flower. Bud sites fill and the aroma arrives — usually the point where extraction stops being optional. Feed heavier now, but watch the leaf rather than the schedule.
The last fortnight. Ease off nitrogen, drop the night temperature a little, and stop feeding before you think you should. Final height for this cultivar is published at 80–120 cm.
Harvest. Published window: 50-60 days. Trichomes decide. Cut in sections if ripening is uneven — most plants ripen top-down and there is no prize for taking it all at once.
What Sweet Berry Is Like
Reported effects cluster around creative, calm. At 19% THC that is a meaningful figure rather than a decorative one, and the sensible approach with anything in this range is to start lower than you think and wait longer than feels necessary.
The 38/62 balance shapes where it lands: head-forward and clear enough for daytime, though the ceiling arrives faster than beginners expect. Tolerance moves this more than any other variable, which is why two people describe the same jar differently.
Prefer something gentler? The CBD-forward strains range trades peak potency for balance.
The Terpenes
Limonene leads, caryophyllene sits behind it, and linalool runs underneath.
This trio is a common signature in well-regarded cultivars, which is not an accident: limonene carries weight, caryophyllene adds definition, linalool keeps it from being one-note. It reads clearly on a first opening rather than needing to be hunted for.
Who It Suits
Who does well with Sweet Berry? Growers with limited headroom or no interest in managing timers. Apartment balconies. Anyone wanting more than one run in a season. First-timers included — the genetics are forgiving.
Still deciding? The indoor-friendly genetics list is the narrower place to start.

Where Sweet Berry Auto Comes From
We hold no documented parentage for this cultivar, so none is shown. A blank here is an admission rather than an oversight — we would rather leave it empty than publish a lineage we cannot stand behind.
We did not originate the cultivars in this catalogue and do not claim to have. What we do is select and stabilise the lines we sell, so that a pack grows out more uniformly than an unworked one — which matters more in New Zealand than in most places, because an outdoor grower here is working to a frost date rather than an open-ended season. The stabilisation programme sets out how that works and what it does not cover.
Every pack is covered by our germination promise: follow the method in the germination guide and seed that fails to open is replaced free within 30 days.
