This plant’s vigour is clear to see from the beginning. Its leaves end
in a sharp point, like a serrated dagger. This is a highly attractive
automatic variety from the first days of growth, with a pine-tree-shaped
structure and a good central bud. It’s a plant that brings its full
ripening forward several weeks when grown outdoors. Smile’s AK-47
component is noticeable in the flavour and in the for-mation of thick
branches, ready to house good bunches of compact, orange-hued flowers.
It adapts well to extreme climates and is recommended for use
outdoors. The optimal time for growing in the driest parts of Spain and
Portugal is between March and September (watching out for the first
rainfall of the autumn in late September, aiming to give autoflowering
varieties the fertiliser and hours of quality light they need while
growing and flowering.
Under hydroponic systems (with similar results in outdoor greenhouses),
Smile Automatic reaches an average height of 1 metre with a yield of
around 65 grams per plant. Indoors, the plant grows to about 60 cm high,
with a yield of 15-25 grams per plant.
The gap between nodes is very small, and they become covered with small
flowers that form thick, compact bunches. The leaves are typical of AK
varieties: slender, serrated and dark green in colour. Resin formation
is abundant, and using a magnifying glass you can observe the fattening
of the trichome heads. The plant produces large amounts of CBD and a
delicious hash can be extracted from it. The effect is stimulating at
first with a steady, gentle comedown.
