Ogre Autoflower Seeds by Doctor's Choice
Ogre is a feminized autoflowering cannabis seed from Doctor's Choice (formerly The Joint Doctor) that packs a seriously complex genetic lineup into a plant that finishes in just 65–70 days from seed. Also known as Secret Citrus AF x Durban Skunk in North America, the full genetic breakdown is Short Term Amnesia (Soma's Amnesia Haze x LowRyder) x Hindu Kush x Durban Skunk x Ruderalis — four distinct lineages blended into one sativa-dominant autoflower with growth speed and yield that punches well above its weight class.
This product comes in a single pack of 3 feminized seeds (SKU: CSJD0007). Every seed is feminized and autoflowering — no need to sex plants or manage light schedules.
Ogre Genetics: What Makes This Autoflower Different
Most autoflowers trace their lineage to one or two parents crossed with a ruderalis line. Ogre takes a different route entirely. The genetic foundation starts with Short Term Amnesia — itself a cross between Soma's Amnesia Haze and the original LowRyder, the strain that kicked off the entire autoflowering revolution. That sativa-heavy backbone gets layered with Hindu Kush for resin production and structural density, then Durban Skunk for vigour and aromatic complexity, and finally ruderalis genetics to lock in the autoflowering trait.
The result is a sativa-dominant plant that doesn't behave like most autos. Where typical autoflowers stay compact and restrained, Ogre stretches out with strong lateral branches that fill with oversized buds. It reaches roughly 100 cm in height and spreads just as wide — arms out, taking up serious real estate. If you've grown autos before and found them underwhelming in size, this one will change your expectations.
Doctor's Choice (the seed bank behind The Joint Doctor's genetics) developed this line specifically to push the boundaries of what autoflowering plants can produce. The LowRyder heritage in the Short Term Amnesia parent is what originally made auto-flowering viable for home growers, and Ogre represents how far that genetics programme has come since those early days.
Ogre Yield and Flowering Time
Ogre finishes in 65–70 days from seed — that's total lifecycle, not just flowering. For context, most photoperiod strains need 8–10 weeks of flowering alone, after a separate vegetative phase. You could theoretically run nearly two full Ogre cycles in the time it takes a single photoperiod plant to finish.

| Genetics | Short Term Amnesia (Amnesia Haze x LowRyder) x Hindu Kush x Durban Skunk x Ruderalis |
| Type | Feminized Autoflower |
| Dominance | Sativa dominant |
| Seed to Harvest | 65–70 days |

| Outdoor Yield | 60–80 g per plant |
| THC Content | 15–20% |
| Growing Environment | Indoor, outdoor, greenhouse |

Indoor yields land around 150–200 g/m2, which is solid for an autoflower — especially one that finishes this quickly. Outdoors, expect 60–80 g per plant, though in a good greenhouse setup with extended light hours, you can push closer to the indoor numbers. THC sits in the 15–20% range, which gives you a proper effect without the ceiling being so high that it catches you off guard.
Growing Ogre Autoflower Seeds
The accelerated growth pattern on this strain is genuinely unusual for an auto. Doctor's Choice describes it as "unprecedented" — and having seen what most autos do in their first three weeks, we'd say that's fair. Ogre puts on vegetative mass faster than you'd expect, then transitions into flower without the usual stall that some autos hit during the switch.
- Germinate your seeds using the paper towel method or directly in a small pot of lightly moistened soil. Ogre seeds are feminized, so every seed should produce a female plant.
- Transplant seedlings into their final container early — 11–15 litre pots work well. Autoflowers don't love being repotted mid-cycle, so get them into their permanent home within the first week.
- Run lights on an 18/6 or 20/4 schedule for the entire lifecycle. Being autoflowering, Ogre doesn't need a light cycle change to trigger flowering — it will switch on its own around week 3–4.
- Feed lightly during the first two weeks, then increase nutrients as the plant enters its rapid growth phase. The strong lateral branching means this plant responds well to light training (LST), but avoid high-stress techniques — the short lifecycle doesn't leave enough recovery time.
- Watch for the lateral branches to fill out with long, dense buds from around week 5 onwards. The plant spreads wide, so give it space — cramming Ogre into a tight corner wastes its potential.
- Harvest when trichomes shift from clear to milky, typically around day 65–70. The buds are notably aromatic, so a carbon filter is not optional if discretion matters.
Ogre Aroma and Bud Structure
The "Secret Citrus" nickname used in North America isn't just marketing. The Durban Skunk and Amnesia Haze genetics bring a sharp, citrus-forward terpene profile that hits you the moment you open the grow tent in the final weeks. There's a skunky undertone from the Durban side and a sweeter, almost hazy layer from the Amnesia lineage. Hindu Kush adds a deeper, earthier note underneath — the kind of complexity you don't usually get from autoflowers.
Bud structure leans sativa: long, slightly airy colas rather than tight, rock-hard nuggets. The buds are oversized for an auto, running along those lateral branches in dense clusters. Doctor's Choice specifically bred for this — the bud-laden lateral growth is a defining trait of the Ogre line, not just a happy accident.
Complete your setup: Ogre's wide lateral spread responds well to low-stress training — a set of plant clips or soft garden ties makes a real difference. If you're growing indoors, pair these seeds with a proper grow tent and ventilation kit. The aromatic output in the final weeks is intense enough that a carbon filter is a genuine necessity, not a nice-to-have.
Why Ogre Autoflower Seeds Deserve Your Attention
The autoflower market has come a long way since the original LowRyder appeared in the early 2000s. Back then, autos were novelties — small plants, modest yields, interesting but not serious. Ogre represents the other end of that spectrum. It's an autoflower that produces photoperiod-sized plants with genuinely impressive yields, and it does it in under 10 weeks from seed.
The genetic complexity matters here. Four distinct lineages — Amnesia Haze for sativa character, LowRyder for auto-flowering, Hindu Kush for resin and structure, Durban Skunk for vigour and aroma — each contribute something specific. This isn't a simple ruderalis cross slapped together for speed. Doctor's Choice spent years refining this line, and the result is a strain that grows like it has somewhere to be and arrives with buds that justify the rush.
For growers who want multiple harvests per season outdoors, or who want to maximise cycles per year indoors, Ogre's 65–70 day turnaround is hard to beat. You could realistically pull five harvests a year from the same indoor space. At 150–200 g/m2 per run, the annual output adds up fast.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does Ogre take from seed to harvest?
65–70 days total. That's the complete lifecycle — germination through harvest. No separate vegetative and flowering phases to manage, since the autoflowering genetics handle the transition automatically around week 3–4.
How tall does the Ogre autoflower grow?
Expect around 75–110 cm, with most plants hitting close to 100 cm. Unusually for an auto, Ogre also spreads wide — roughly as broad as it is tall — thanks to strong lateral branching. Give it space.
What yield can I expect from Ogre autoflower seeds?
Indoors, 150–200 g/m2. Outdoors, 60–80 g per plant. These are strong numbers for an autoflower with a sub-70-day lifecycle. Greenhouse growing with supplemental light can push yields toward the higher end.
Is Ogre suitable for beginner growers?
It's manageable but not the most forgiving first grow. The fast lifecycle means mistakes cost you more — there's less time to recover from overwatering or nutrient issues. If you've done one or two grows already, you'll be fine. True beginners might want to start with a simpler auto first.
Does Ogre need a light schedule change to start flowering?
No. As an autoflower, Ogre transitions to flowering on its own regardless of light schedule. Run 18/6 or 20/4 throughout the entire lifecycle. No need to switch to 12/12.
What does Ogre smell like?
Sharp citrus up front — that's where the "Secret Citrus" nickname comes from — layered over a skunky base from the Durban genetics and deeper earthy notes from the Hindu Kush side. It's aromatic enough that you'll want a carbon filter indoors.
What is the THC content of Ogre?
Between 15% and 20%, depending on growing conditions. Solid potency for an autoflower — enough to deliver a clear effect without being overwhelming.
