Auto Mix Feminised Cannabis Seeds by Philosopher Seeds
The Auto Mix is a six-seed variety pack from Philosopher Seeds that bundles three distinct autoflowering strains — Wedding Cake Auto, GG#4 Auto, and Cherry Punch Auto — into a single purchase. Two seeds of each strain, all feminised, all finishing in roughly 8–9 weeks from germination. If you want to run a varied canopy without committing to full packs of each strain, this is one of the smartest ways to do it.
What's in the Box
| Strain | Seeds | Genetics |
|---|---|---|
| Wedding Cake Auto | 2 | Indica-dominant hybrid x Ruderalis |
| GG#4 Auto | 2 | Balanced hybrid x Ruderalis |
| Cherry Punch Auto | 2 | Indica-leaning hybrid x Ruderalis |
All 6 seeds are feminised — no males to cull. The autoflowering genetics come from Siberian and Canadian ruderalis lines, which is what gives these plants their light-independent flowering and compact timelines.
Why the Auto Mix Is Worth Your Attention
Buying a mix pack solves a genuine problem: variety without waste. A full pack of Wedding Cake Auto, a full pack of GG#4 Auto, and a full pack of Cherry Punch Auto would set you back considerably more and leave you with seeds you might not get around to planting for seasons. The Auto Mix gives you 2 of each — enough to run all three side by side in a single grow cycle and figure out which one you want to scale up next time.
We've seen plenty of growers — especially first-timers — buy a single strain, get decent results, and then wonder what else is out there. This pack skips that step entirely. You get an Indica-heavy hitter in Wedding Cake Auto (dense buds, sweet doughy aroma with vanilla undertones), a resin-coated powerhouse in GG#4 Auto (sticky to the point where trimming becomes a two-pair-of-scissors job), and a fruity counterpoint in Cherry Punch Auto (tart cherry nose with earthy depth). Three genuinely different flavour profiles and growth patterns from one purchase.
The honest limitation? You only get 2 seeds per strain. If one doesn't germinate — and germination rates, even with good genetics, are never truly 100% — you're down to a single plant of that variety. No room for error. Soak your seeds properly, keep temperatures between 20–25°C during germination, and don't overwater seedlings. That's where most failures happen.
Autoflowering Cannabis Seeds: What Makes Them Different
Autoflowering seeds flower based on age rather than light cycle changes. Standard photoperiod strains need a shift to 12/12 light to trigger flowering — autos don't care. They'll start flowering around weeks 3–4 regardless of how many hours of light they receive. This is down to Cannabis ruderalis genetics from high-latitude regions (Siberia, northern Canada) where summers are short and plants evolved to finish fast.
For indoor growers, this means you can run 18/6 or 20/4 light schedules from seed to harvest — no separate veg and flower rooms, no light leak paranoia. For outdoor growers in northern Europe, autos can finish before autumn rains and mould become a problem. The trade-off is that autos are generally smaller than photoperiod plants, which means lower yield per plant. Philosopher Seeds has bred these particular autos to maximise output within that constraint, using Indica and Sativa hybrid parents selected for vigour and resin production.
The 8–9 week total cycle is genuinely quick. From the moment you see a taproot to the moment you're hanging branches to dry — roughly 60 days. Compare that to a photoperiod strain that might need 4–6 weeks of veg plus 8–10 weeks of flower. If you're running multiple cycles per year, autos let you fit in 4–5 harvests where photoperiods might manage 2–3.

Running autos indoors? Pair this pack with a complete grow tent kit — tent, light, extraction, and carbon filter in one box. If you're already set up, grab a pH meter and some quality soil or coco coir. Autoflowers are forgiving, but they don't forgive waterlogged roots or wildly off pH.
Strain Breakdown: Wedding Cake Auto, GG#4 Auto, and Cherry Punch Auto
Each strain in the Auto Mix brings something different to the table — literally. Here's what to expect when growing them side by side.
Wedding Cake Auto leans Indica. Expect a compact, bushy plant with tight internodal spacing and dense, frosty buds. The aroma is sweet and doughy — think vanilla cake batter with a peppery, slightly tangy finish. She's not the tallest plant in the tent, which makes her a good candidate for smaller spaces or the edges of your canopy.
GG#4 Auto (also known as Gorilla Glue #4 Auto) is the resin factory of the trio. The original GG#4 photoperiod strain became famous for coating everything — buds, sugar leaves, even fan leaves — in sticky trichomes. The auto version carries that trait forward. Expect a balanced hybrid structure: taller than the Wedding Cake but not lanky. The smell is diesel and pine with a chocolate earthiness underneath. Your scissors will be glued shut within minutes of trimming — keep isopropyl alcohol handy.
Cherry Punch Auto brings the fruit. A cross that carries cherry and berry terpenes front and centre, with a slightly skunky backbone. She tends to show more colour than the other two — purples and deep reds in the final weeks, especially if nighttime temperatures drop below 18°C. Visually, she's the showpiece of the pack.
How to Grow the Auto Mix
- Germinate all 6 seeds at once. Use the paper towel method: place seeds between two damp (not soaking) sheets of kitchen paper on a plate, cover with a second plate, and keep at 22–25°C. Taproots should appear within 24–72 hours.
- Plant into final containers immediately. Autoflowers don't like being transplanted — the stress can stunt growth, and with only a 60-day cycle, you can't afford lost days. Use 11–15 litre pots with a light, airy medium. Coco/perlite (70/30) or a light organic soil mix both work well.
- Set your light schedule to 18/6 or 20/4. Autos don't need darkness to flower, but 4–6 hours of rest helps the plant recover and keeps electricity costs down. A 250W–400W equivalent LED is plenty for 6 plants in a 100x100cm or 120x120cm tent.
- Go easy on nutrients for the first 2 weeks. Seedlings burn easily. Start at 25% of the manufacturer's recommended dose and increase gradually. By week 3, you can move to full-strength vegetative nutrients.
- Switch to bloom nutrients around week 4 when you see the first pre-flowers (small white pistils at the nodes). Autoflowers transition fast — don't wait for a dramatic stretch before flipping your feed schedule.
- Monitor humidity closely in weeks 6–9. Dense Indica buds (especially Wedding Cake Auto) are susceptible to bud rot if relative humidity stays above 55%. Drop to 40–45% RH in the final two weeks if you can.
- Harvest by trichome colour. Use a jeweller's loupe (30x–60x magnification). When trichomes shift from clear to milky with about 10–20% amber, you're in the harvest window. GG#4 Auto may finish a few days after the other two — check each plant individually.
Who Should Grow the Auto Mix
If you're new to growing, this is a genuinely solid starting point. Autoflowers forgive timing mistakes that would wreck a photoperiod grow — light leaks, inconsistent schedules, slightly late feeding changes. The 8–9 week turnaround means you get results fast, which keeps motivation high. And growing 3 different strains simultaneously teaches you more in one cycle than growing the same strain three times in a row.
If you're experienced and running a perpetual harvest setup, autos slot into gaps between photoperiod cycles. Chuck a couple in the corner of your veg tent under 18/6 and they'll be done before your photoperiods even flip to flower. Commercial growers use autos to fill seasonal gaps or test new genetics without dedicating an entire room.
The best autoflowering mix pack for growers who want variety without commitment? We'd put the Philosopher Seeds Auto Mix near the top of that list. Six seeds, three strains, two months, done.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I grow all three Auto Mix strains in the same tent?
Yes, and that's the intended use. All three are autoflowering with similar timelines (8–9 weeks), so they'll share the same light schedule and feeding programme without conflict. Height differences are minor — you might need to raise a pot or two to keep the canopy even.
Do autoflowering seeds produce lower yields than photoperiod strains?
Generally, yes. Individual auto plants yield less than a photoperiod plant given a long vegetative period. But autos finish faster, so annual yield per square metre can actually be higher if you run multiple cycles. Expect roughly 50–150g per plant depending on conditions and skill level.
Are the Auto Mix seeds feminised?
All 6 seeds are feminised. Philosopher Seeds uses feminisation techniques that produce 99%+ female plants. You shouldn't need to identify and remove males, though it's always good practice to check for hermaphroditic traits during early flowering.
What's the difference between GG#4 Auto and the original Gorilla Glue #4?
Same parent genetics, crossed with ruderalis for autoflowering capability. The auto version is typically smaller and finishes faster. Resin production remains impressive — the "glue" reputation carries over. Potency is comparable, though photoperiod versions grown by experienced cultivators may edge ahead on absolute THC levels.
Can I take clones from autoflowering plants?
Technically yes, but it's not practical. A clone inherits the mother's internal clock, so a cutting taken at week 3 will still try to flower at week 4. The clone never gets a proper vegetative phase and stays tiny. If you find a strain you love in the mix, buy a full pack and grow from seed next time.
How should I store unused seeds from the Auto Mix?
Keep them in the original packaging, inside an airtight container, in the fridge (4–8°C). Avoid freezing. Properly stored cannabis seeds remain viable for 2–3 years, sometimes longer. Silica gel packets in the container help control moisture.
Will the three strains in the Auto Mix finish at exactly the same time?
Close, but not identical. Expect a spread of 3–7 days between the earliest and latest finisher. Cherry Punch Auto and Wedding Cake Auto tend to be slightly quicker; GG#4 Auto sometimes needs an extra few days. Check trichomes individually rather than harvesting all at once.
