Permanent Marker Autoflower Seeds

Permanent Marker Strain: Type, Aroma and Flavor

Permanent Marker Autoflower is a feminized, indica-leaning hybrid (about 70% indica) with growth that leans firmly to its indica side. Its nose is a full-on sensory blast that smells like an office-supply store: chemical funk and floral candy, like fancy perfume spilled in a marker factory. The flavor is heavy, with industrial gas up front and a sweet, soapy “ink” finish that coats the mouth. The loudest terpenes are beta-caryophyllene, limonene and myrcene (what terpenes are). It covers itself in trichomes fast, with resin heads big and dense enough that it’s a favorite for making hash and rosin, and the dense, sticky buds go dark purple, like they were rolled in purple glitter.

How to Grow Permanent Marker Autoflower Seeds in a Pot for Pot Kit

Plant one seed in our organic super soil and just add water. This is the Permanent Marker for small home grows: you get the designer flower without a greenhouse. It’s an autoflower, so it switches to bloom on its own and stays compact, which makes it a good fit for small tents and growers with limited square footage. Indoors, keep lights on 18 hours on and 6 off (or 20/4) from germination to harvest, with efficient LEDs to build terpenes and trichomes. It grows a stocky, multi-branching frame, much like Red Runtz Autoflower, so start gentle training (LST) early to flatten the canopy and push light to the lower bud sites. Our step-by-step guide to growing a small weed plant walks you through it. Growing in one of our kits? Free email grow coaching at help@apotforpot.com helps you from seed to harvest.

Permanent Marker Flowering Time and Plant Size

It doesn’t wait for shorter days: it runs on an internal genetic clock. In our Indoor 2 Gallon kit, plan on as little as 80 days from seed to harvest. Expect a stocky, manageable plant that suits a terrace, a backyard plot or a small tent. Want a bigger plant with more control? See Permanent Marker Photoperiod.

Growing Permanent Marker Indoors vs Outdoors

Outdoors: it’s a strong, adaptable grower that loves full sun. It does best in low-humidity weather, but it’s hardy enough to produce dense buds in cooler northern climates (Zones 5-7) without stalling, and its speed is its best defense against the mold and mildew that ruin late crops. Plant once overnight temperatures stay above 50°F; for the most resin, plan your planting around the summer solstice for peak sun. Its short life lets you harvest before autumn rains or stagger several outdoor harvests, and it finishes before the pest cycles of long photoperiod grows. It’s in our Cold, Warm and Hot zone collections; find your zone on the USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map.

Indoors: the smell gets strong and skunky late in flower, so run a quality carbon filter and keep humidity below 45% to protect the dense colas from moisture inside the buds.
