Auto Anubis

Auto Anubis Cannabis Seeds by Pyramid Seeds

Auto Anubis is an autoflowering feminized cannabis seed from Pyramid Seeds that packs Indica-dominant genetics into a compact, heavy-yielding plant. Born from a cross of Wembley and Chronic, she was originally kept in-house by Pyramid Seeds — they liked her that much. The day they released her to the public was a good day for growers who want grapefruit flavour and serious harvests without fussing over light schedules.

Why Auto Anubis Seeds Deserve a Spot in Your Grow

Auto Anubis combines two parent strains that each bring something specific to the table. Wembley hands down a sweet, unmistakable grapefruit aroma — the kind of scent that fills the room when you crack a jar. Chronic, on the other hand, is one of those legendary yielders that just produces. The offspring inherits both traits: flavour that actually makes you want to come back for another taste, and a harvest weight that punches well above what you'd expect from an autoflower.

We'd pick Auto Anubis over most autos in her price range if yield-per-square-metre matters to you. At 500-550g, she's competing with photoperiod strains — and she does it in roughly 8 weeks from seed. That's a fast turnaround for that kind of weight. The 15% THC sits in a comfortable middle ground, and the presence of both CBD and CBN — secondary cannabinoids that contribute to a more balanced, rounded effect profile — means the end result isn't a one-note experience.

Auto Anubis Growth Profile and Specifications

Auto Anubis stays compact at 60-130cm, making her a solid option for smaller tents, balconies, or any space where height is limited. She grows wider than she does tall — think bushy and squat rather than stretchy. If you're running a 60x60 or 80x80 tent, she'll fill the canopy nicely without bumping into your light.

Flavour and Aroma of Auto Anubis

The Wembley parentage is where the magic happens on the flavour side. Auto Anubis produces buds with a sweet grapefruit taste — not a vague "citrus hint" that you have to imagine, but a proper, recognisable grapefruit note that comes through on both the inhale and exhale. The aroma leans sweet and fruity during the final weeks of flowering, so if you're growing indoors without a carbon filter, your neighbours will know about it.

Compared to something like an Auto Critical, which tends toward earthy and skunky, Auto Anubis sits firmly in the fruit-forward camp. If flavour is a priority alongside yield — rather than one or the other — this is the auto to look at.

How to Grow Auto Anubis Seeds

Auto Anubis is forgiving enough for newer growers, but there are a few things worth knowing to get the most out of her. She doesn't need a light-cycle change (that's the beauty of autoflowers), so you can run her on 18/6 or 20/4 from seed to harvest.

1. Germinate your Auto Anubis seeds using the paper towel method or directly in a small pot of moist, light soil. Taproots typically appear within 24-72 hours.
2. Plant the germinated seed about 1cm deep in your final pot. Autos don't love transplanting — their short lifecycle means any root stress eats into your yield. Start in the pot you plan to finish in. A 15-20 litre container works well.
3. Keep your light schedule at 18 hours on, 6 hours off throughout the entire grow. Some growers push to 20/4 for extra photosynthesis, but 18/6 gives the plant a rest period and keeps energy costs down.
4. Feed lightly during the first 2-3 weeks. Auto Anubis is compact and Indica-leaning, so she doesn't need heavy nitrogen early on. Switch to bloom nutrients once you see the first pistils forming — usually around week 3-4.
5. Watch her spread sideways. Auto Anubis grows wide, so some gentle LST (low-stress training) early on can open up the canopy and let light reach the lower bud sites. Tie down the main stem at a 45-degree angle during week 2-3.
6. Harvest at around 8 weeks from seed (indoors) or 67 days from the start of flowering outdoors. Check trichomes with a jeweller's loupe — you want mostly milky with a few amber for that balanced Indica effect.
7. Dry your buds slowly in a dark room at 18-22 degrees Celsius with 55-60% humidity for 7-10 days. Then cure in glass jars, burping daily for the first week. The grapefruit flavour really develops during a proper 2-week cure.

The Honest Limitations

Auto Anubis isn't the strongest strain on the shelf. At 15% THC, she's not going to floor experienced users who are chasing 25%+ varieties. That said, the balanced cannabinoid profile — THC alongside CBD and CBN — makes for a more rounded experience than raw THC numbers suggest. If you're after sheer potency, look at something like Auto Gorilla Glue instead.

The other thing: her wide growth habit means she takes up more horizontal space than you might expect from a plant under 130cm. In a small tent, you might only fit 2-3 plants where you'd normally squeeze 4 of a more columnar auto. Plan your canopy accordingly.

Auto Anubis Yield Compared to Other Autoflowers

At 500-550g, Auto Anubis sits near the top of the autoflower yield charts. Here's how she stacks up against a couple of popular alternatives:

The numbers speak for themselves. Auto Anubis matches or beats most Indica autos on yield while keeping the timeline tight at 8 weeks. The grapefruit flavour profile sets her apart from the more generic earthy/skunky options in the same yield bracket.
