Gary Payton Autoflower Cannabis Seeds

What are Gary Payton autoflower cannabis seeds?

Gary Payton auto seeds pay homage to the NBA Hall of Famer whose defensive heroics earned him the nickname “The Glove.” An epic combination of The Y and Snowman mixed with our house ruderalis, this homage relaxes and uplifts.

The Y strain, aka Y Griega, crosses Cookies and Cherry Pie for a sativa hotcake sensation, while Snowman is a hybrid GSC phenotype. They're rare and spectacular, producing exotic, fluffy colas coated with trichomes and dripping in resin. 

With their inherited non-photoperiod traits, these auto marijuana seeds grow into plants that spend most of their life cycles in flower. Payton eventually won a championship with the Miami Heat, and it's just a matter of time before this strain does the same.

What are Gary Payton autoflower effects?

While Gary Payton auto seeds contain a 50/50 ratio of sativa and indica genetics, there are definite sativa leanings. These hybrid cannabis buds produce focus, energy, and motivation. 

The strain is excellent for the mornings to get your day off on the right footing. It's like playing offense, allowing you to dictate the pace.

While the effects aren't instantaneous, they set in quickly and elevate mood and happiness. You feel it in your head first, but soon the sensations spread throughout the body and to your extremities. 

Many users assert this strain improves concentration and creativity, making it an excellent option for creative types. Several reports claim increased sexual arousal with weed grown with Gary Payton auto seeds.

It's a potent, long-lasting strain, but while it's clearly uplifting, it's not overwhelming. Gary Payton is invigorating, but you can still relax and unwind. It can be up or down, fast or slow, depending on what you're looking for.

What does Gary Payton autoflower smell like?

With a double dose of the Girl Scout Cookies lineage, these Gary Payton auto seeds produce nugs that initially provide aromas reminding you of baked treats. It's sweet and enticing, laced with earthy hints.

As the crop matures, the flavors intensify. Notes of citrus and berries combine with potent flavors, mainly of diesel and rubber. 

This strain contains a range of terpenes, with caryophyllene as the dominant one. It also includes limonene, humulene, myrcene, and linalool. The blend creates a unique flavor profile and crafts the smell. 

The fresh, zesty, and fruity notes highlight the palette on the inhale, which bursts with flavor. The exhale produces herbal and wooden hints with notes of pine and mint. These Gary Payton cannabis buds are more earthy than their sweet Cookies lineage would suggest.

How to germinate Gary Payton autoflower seeds

Gary Payton auto seeds produce epic buds with high THC values and delectable flavors. If they don't sprout, your hopes of a generous stash of top-shelf weed get skunked before tip-off.

Follow our tried-and-trusted paper towel germination method for guaranteed results. Document your efforts with pictures or video to back up any potential claim.

You need:

Cannabis seeds

Bottled, purified water

Tweezers

Two matching dinner plates

Two pieces of paper towel

Follow these steps:

Wet the first paper towel with purified water and squeeze out any excess. It needs to be damp, but not sopping wet. Lay the paper towel on the first dinner plate. Raise the towel to check there isn't any standing water on the plate.

Use the tweezers to place your Gary Payton auto seeds on the paper towel, leaving at least an inch of separation. Don't use your bare hands, as you could transfer tiny pathogens that could rule out germination.

Dampen the second paper towel and drape it over the seeds, covering them. 

Turn over the second dinner plate and match the rim to the first. It should enclose the medium, blocking out all light.

Leave the germination medium in a warm, humid, dark spot that's accessible. Check on your marijuana seeds regularly over the next few days.

Within 1–5 days, the weed seeds should sprout the tiny white taproot that launches growth. When it's about half an inch long, remove it with tweezers and transplant it into the permanent growing medium. 

If your cannabis seeds don't sprout a taproot after ten days, they probably won't. Contact us to initiate a replacement as per our germination guarantee that replaces unpopped cannabis seeds.

There are several reasons why your marijuana seeds might not germinate, including bad seeds, poor genetics, incorrect storage, and improper handling. Over- or underwatering and extreme temperatures can also counteract germination.

Don't plant your Gary Payton auto seeds in compact or loose soil. Make sure they aren't too shallow or deep in the substrate.

Gary Payton autoflower cannabis seeds grow guide

You can grow these marijuana seeds indoors, outdoors, or in a greenhouse. Most cultivators opt for the former, as space is less restrictive with smaller autoflowers. Outdoors, these plants flourish in temperate, continental, or Mediterranean climates with sunny conditions.

Once your Gary Payton auto seeds sprout, plant them in their permanent medium. Remember, they won't need nutrients for the first few weeks, as seedlings are super sensitive and could suffer nutrient burn.

For planting in soil or compost, loam is the most popular choice. A mixture of sand, silt, clay, and humus, it's super fertile and provides excellent drainage.

You could also use eco-friendly coco coir (coconut husks), and larger operators may even employ hydroponic setups. Perlite, rockwool, and vermiculite are other mediums that ensure plants get the oxygen, nutrients, and water they need. 

Autos grow differently to other cannabis seeds, but the biochemical processes don't change. They need the same raw materials to build terpenes, cannabinoids, leaves, and resin. You can employ the exact nutrients you use for your photoperiod plants.

This non-photoperiod strain thrives with 20 hours of lighting each day through to the harvest. The most common error with autoflowers is overwatering and overfeeding, so monitor the levels accordingly.

Add a nitrogen-strong NPK ratio (3:1:1) for the short vegetative stage. Change the NPK ratio to 1:3:3 for the first half of the flowering phase before eliminating nitrogen altogether for the final four weeks.

Keep an eye on the pistils at the nodes after 3–4 weeks. When they turn white, they're mature, and bloom is imminent. Stop feeding nutes and provide only water in the last two weeks before harvest. It removes any metallic chemical taste and flushes your buds. 

After 8–10 weeks of flowering, indoor growers can gather yields of 12 oz./m². Outdoors, you can look forward to outputs of around 10 oz./plant. It's the perfect time to harvest once more than 50% of the trichomes change from clear to cloudy.

What are the Gary Payton autoflower genetics?

Gary Payton auto seeds combine The Y and a phenotype of Girl Scout Cookies called Snowman. We crossed that result with a ruderalis strain to obtain the autoflowering gene. 

Ruderalis is an eastern European cannabis variant that uses short windows of fine weather to procreate. It means a brief vegetative phase, and the plants bloom according to maturity, not age.

The Y is a sativa-heavy match of more GSC genetics and Cherry Pie. The resulting balanced hybrid has medium THC levels but plenty of energy. It's possible to start the day off with a wake-and-bake session, thanks to Gary Payton.

Wellness and Gary Payton autoflower seeds

This marijuana strain has high THC levels of 18–20%. These are notable readings, especially for an autoflower variety. CBD is low at less than 1%.

The motivated buzz delivered by buds grown from Gary Payton auto seeds will get you off the couch and doing stuff. Some users report fantastic progress in reducing symptoms of anxiety and stress.

Some contend this cannabis strain addresses chronic discomfort, muscle spasms, migraines, and more. There is anecdotal evidence, but further studies are required.
