Biscotti Auto Seeds by Greenhouse Seeds
Biscotti Auto is an autoflowering cannabis seed from Greenhouse Seeds that brings genuine Californian genetics to growers who want dessert-tier flavour without a complicated grow cycle. Descended from the original Biscotti and Gelato #41 Auto — two Bay Area heavyweights — this compact autoflower delivers up to 26% THC and finishes in just 8 to 9 weeks from seed. If you've been chasing that creamy, cookie-scented smoke without wanting to babysit photoperiod plants, this is the one.
Choose Your Pack Size
| Pack | Seeds | SKU | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-pack | 3 | CSGH0311 | Single-run test or a small tent grow |
| 5-pack | 5 | CSGH0312 | A full 80x80 canopy or a staggered outdoor plot |
| 10-pack | 10 | CSGH0313 | Pheno hunting or filling a larger space — best value per seed |
We'd go with the 5-pack for most growers. It gives you enough plants to fill a tent properly and a spare seed or two in case germination isn't 100%. The 10-pack only makes sense if you're running a bigger setup or want to pop them across multiple cycles.
Biscotti Auto Flavour and Aroma Profile
This is where Biscotti Auto earns its name. Crack open a cured jar and you get hit with sweet, nutty, creamy notes — think freshly baked Italian biscuits dipped in vanilla ice cream. There's a richness to the terpene profile that goes beyond generic "cookie strains." Once the buds have dried and cured for a week or two, earthier undertones emerge underneath that sweetness, adding depth and stopping the flavour from being one-dimensional. On the exhale, that vanilla-cream lingers. It's genuinely one of the tastiest autoflowers we've come across from Greenhouse Seeds.
If you've grown Gelato autos before, expect a similar dessert sweetness but with a nuttier, more baked-goods character. Biscotti Auto leans less fruity and more patisserie. The smell during flower is noticeable but not as loud as some Haze-dominant strains — still, a carbon filter is non-negotiable indoors unless you want your entire flat smelling like a bakery.

Complete your grow setup: Biscotti Auto's compact 110 cm stature makes it a natural fit for an 80x80 grow tent. Pair your seeds with a complete grow kit that includes lighting, ventilation, and a carbon filter — you'll want that filter once those cookie terps start filling the room around week 5. A set of fabric pots (11-15 litres) and quality autoflower soil will round things out nicely.
Why Biscotti Auto Seeds Deserve a Spot in Your Grow
Growing genuine US genetics used to mean dealing with photoperiod plants, light schedule management, and longer timelines. Biscotti Auto changes that equation completely. Greenhouse Seeds took the original Biscotti — a strain that built its reputation in California dispensaries — and crossed it with their Gelato #41 Auto to create something that keeps the flavour and potency but strips away the complexity. You're looking at 8 to 9 weeks from popping the seed to chopping the plant. No light cycle flipping, no veg-to-flower transition headaches.
At 110 cm max height, she stays compact enough for a balcony grow behind a tomato plant or a small tent in a spare room. We've seen growers lose stealth because their photoperiod plants stretched beyond expectations — that's not a problem here. The elongated bud structure is another practical win: less dense than some indica-dominant autos, which means easier trimming and lower mould risk during the final weeks. Yields of up to 120 g per plant are solid for an auto this size, and the trichome coverage is genuinely impressive — those buds shimmer.
The honest limitation? 120 g/plant is the ceiling, not the average. You'll need decent light (at least 300W LED for a tent), proper nutrients, and consistent watering to get close to that number. First-time growers running a windowsill setup should expect less. But even a modest harvest of Biscotti Auto is worth it for the quality of the smoke — 26% THC with that flavour profile is hard to argue with. Compared to something like Royal Cookies Auto from Royal Queen Seeds, Biscotti Auto trades a bit of yield potential for a more complex terpene profile and stronger physical effects. If flavour matters more to you than grams, Biscotti Auto is the better pick.
How to Grow Biscotti Auto Seeds
- Germinate your Biscotti Auto seeds using 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 in a warm dark spot at 22-25 degrees Celsius. Taproots typically appear within 24-72 hours.
- Plant directly into the final container. Autos don't like transplanting — the root disturbance can stunt growth and cost you yield. Use an 11-15 litre fabric pot filled with light, airy soil. Plant the germinated seed 1 cm deep, taproot pointing down.
- Set your light schedule to 18/6 or 20/4 from day one and keep it there for the entire cycle. Biscotti Auto doesn't need a light change to flower — she'll transition on her own around week 3-4. LEDs running 300W or more will give you the best results in a tent.
- Water sparingly in the seedling stage. Overwatering is the number one killer of young autos. Water in a small circle around the stem for the first 10 days, then gradually increase as the root system expands. Let the top 2-3 cm of soil dry out between waterings.
- Begin light feeding around week 2-3 with a balanced veg nutrient at half the recommended strength. Switch to bloom nutrients once you see the first pistils. Autos are sensitive to overfeeding — less is more. If leaf tips start yellowing or curling, back off.
- Watch for the stretch. Biscotti Auto stays compact at up to 110 cm, but she'll put on most of her height in weeks 3-5. Low-stress training (LST) — gently bending and tying down the main stem — will open up the canopy and boost light penetration to lower bud sites.
- Harvest when 70-80% of trichomes are milky with a few turning amber, typically around week 8-9 from germination. Use a jeweller's loupe or USB microscope to check. The elongated bud structure dries evenly — hang whole branches in a dark room at 18-20 degrees Celsius and 55-60% humidity for 7-10 days, then cure in jars for at least two weeks.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does Biscotti Auto take from seed to harvest?
Biscotti Auto finishes in 8 to 9 weeks from germination. That's the full cycle — no separate veg and flower phases to manage. Some phenotypes may run a few days longer, but you're looking at chopping around day 60-65 in most cases.
What yield can I expect from Biscotti Auto?
Greenhouse Seeds lists up to 120 g per plant under optimal conditions. Realistically, indoor growers with a decent LED and proper feeding should hit 80-120 g per plant. Outdoor or windowsill grows will produce less — think 40-70 g — depending on light exposure.
Is Biscotti Auto suitable for beginner growers?
Yes. The autoflowering genetics remove the need for light schedule changes, and the compact 110 cm height makes her manageable in small spaces. Just watch your watering and don't overfeed — autos are less forgiving of nutrient burn than photoperiod plants.
How tall does Biscotti Auto grow?
She tops out at around 110 cm, making her one of the more discreet options for balcony or small-tent growers. With LST, you can keep her even shorter — around 60-80 cm — while increasing the number of bud sites exposed to direct light.
What does Biscotti Auto smell and taste like?
Sweet, nutty, and creamy — like vanilla biscuits with an earthy base note that develops during curing. The Gelato #41 Auto parentage adds a subtle ice-cream smoothness. Expect your grow space to smell noticeably sweet from week 5 onwards; a carbon filter is strongly recommended.
Can I grow Biscotti Auto outdoors?
Absolutely. Her compact size and fast finishing time make her well suited to outdoor grows in most European climates. Plant after the last frost and she'll be done before autumn sets in. The 110 cm height is easy to hide among other garden plants if discretion matters.
Does Biscotti Auto need a specific light schedule?
No — that's the beauty of autoflowers. Run 18 hours on and 6 hours off for the entire cycle, or 20/4 if you want to push growth. She'll start flowering on her own around week 3-4 regardless of light schedule.
