Here’s some quick stats provided by Fast Buds:

Effects
Lemon pie auto is truly a groundbreaking autoflower hybrid. It tends to be quite potent, so novice users should be careful on how much they take. Thanks to the high THC of 24% and high terpene profile, this strain’s effects are magnified by the entourage effect. This full-spectrum high hits harder thanks to essential oils working with the THC.
Thanks to the unique terpene profile along with the hybrid blend of Sativa and Indica genetics, the high starts as elevating and uplifting, perfect for socialization and creativity, and eventually settles into a relaxing stoned Indica effect. With the cerebral effect, it releases tension in the body while making you feel lighter. As the high progresses, your body will feel deeply relaxed and is perfect to sleep with. With the potent effect, this is a strain that lasts for many hours, meaning a little can go a long way. As with all marijuana, this strain’s effect varies based on your mood and your body.
Flavor
Lemon Pie Auto’s flavor is described as a pungent citrus zest along with a gourmet key lime pie straight out of the oven. The fresh mix of lemon skunk and the creamy sweet pie terpenes make this a perfect dessert strain. On the inhale, a citrus earl grey tea washes over your palate, and a fresh cedar and pine exhale with a hint of tangy cinnamon on the aftertaste. Lemon Pie Auto’s aroma and taste concentrates in rosins and oils. This strain yields generously in extractions with high resin content and an abundance of trichomes.
A lab has not officially analyzed the significant terpenes in Lemon Pie Auto; however, experienced growers and smokers believe that the strain is very high in limonene (a lemon terpene) along with notes of sweet dough and pie: likely delta-3-carene and valencene.
Limonene is known to improve mood, increase energy, and reduce stress. This aromatic terpene is found in citrus rinds and gives sour cocktails their signature zest. While this terpene is present in many strains, it is rare to find strains with very high levels of limonene like Lemon Pie Auto. This aromatic compound may also exhibit therapeutic benefits, as studies have shown the potential of limonene. Some benefits include:
- Improved mood
- Stress relief
- Antimicrobial properties
- Helps improve absorption of other terpenes and THC
Delta-3 Carene is a monoterpene that smells like cedar, sweet pine, and a hint of lemon. In aromatherapy, it has potential for many therapeutic applications. This is a wonderful aromatic that really brings a sweetness with its own acidic tang. Some phenotypes of Lemon Pie Auto smell strongly of pine, likely due to this compound. Delta-3 Carene has shown many therapeutic benefits:
- Anti-inflammatory properties
- Bone growth potential
- Antimicrobial properties
Valencene is a sesquiterpene that has a pungent citrus aroma, with notes of mango and grapefruit. It has various applications in medical research and has shown many interesting properties.
- Anti-inflammatory properties
- Skin protection

Growing
Lemon Pie Auto is very easy to grow, tolerating stress and mistakes beginners may make. Thanks to the autoflowering genetics, there is no need to change the light schedule to induce flowering like photoperiod strains. This strain will be ready to harvest in 8-9 weeks from the first signs of flowering, or about 70 days from seed.
An average grower can expect between 450g-550g/m² indoors and outdoor yields are 50-150g per plant. While the strain tolerates mold and humidity, a healthier plant will yield more and is less susceptible to disease. This strain is perfect for intense hot summers in New York, New Jersey, Florida, and any humid coastal or continental climates thanks to the mold resistance. In addition, this strain is also perfect for colder climates such as Alaska, Maine, Minnesota, Vermont, and many fast freezing northern climates. Basically, this strain is perfect for growing anywhere in the US!
In addition to the versatility, this strain is very low maintenance and is very resistant to pests. This particular strain benefits immensely from low stress training (LST) or topping at the 3rd to 5th node. This strain can tolerate pH mistakes and stress if need be. Outdoor growers should use 5 gallon pots for maximum root growth.
