At 25% THC, Darth Vader OG Auto packs under 2% CBD stays, making this a high-THC strain with minimal buffer. Well, it’s a ride best suited for seasoned users but new users can still try it with a low start that respects its strength.

Custom Tips for Growing Darth Vader OG Autoflower Seeds
Darth Vader OG Autoflower Cannabis Seeds can really shine with a few pro moves. Here’s how to bring out its best side.
Light and Nutrition Hacks
Lighting and nutrition are key for any autoflower. These two will help the plants stay on course with the fast seed to harvest cycles.
- Seedling Stage: Keep the light soft using low-intensity full-spectrum LEDs. Don’t feed anything yet—water is all they need. Let the roots settle in before you start pushing growth.
- Vegetative Stage: Brighten the lights a bit each day to keep plants reaching up. Start a light nutrient mix with some nitrogen for green healthy leaves. Watch how the plant reacts so you know if it’s hungry or had enough.
- Pre-Flower Stage: Hold steady with strong even lighting. Drop the nitrogen and bump up phosphorus and potassium to prep for bud sites. This shift gets things rolling toward a better yield.
Flowering Stage: Use red-leaning full-spectrum lights to bulk up flowers and boost resin. Cut nitrogen completely and stick to blooming nutrients. Keep your feeding focused so each bud grows fat and strong.
Temperature and Moisture Optimization
During the seedling stage, warmth is your best friend. Keep temps between 70 and 75°F to help roots stretch and leaves pop. High humidity around 65 percent keeps the young Darth Vader OG Autoflower plant from drying out too fast.
As the plant moves into veg, conditions should shift with it. Let the temperature hover between 75 and 80°F to drive strong, leafy growth. Drop humidity to 50–55 percent and keep air moving so moisture doesn’t cling where it shouldn’t.
When flowering begins, you want the room to feel drier and slightly cooler. Aim for temps around 68 to 75°F and pull humidity down to about 40 percent to avoid mold creeping into those tight buds. Cooler nights and dry air help tighten the flowers and bring out their stickiest, most aromatic traits.
Harvest Timing Tricks
Before you cut, give Darth Vader OG Autoflower a day or two of complete darkness. This small pre-harvest stress signals the plant to push out more resin as a last defense. It’s an easy trick that can noticeably boost flavor, aroma, and stickiness.
Now check your trichomes. When most are cloudy with some turning amber, you’re in that sweet middle ground—strong but not sleepy. More amber means a heavier, more sedative effect, while mostly cloudy leans toward a balanced, functional high.
After harvest, curing is where the magic really sets in. Jar your buds loosely in airtight containers and open them once a day for the first two weeks to release moisture and let fresh air in. Store them in a cool, dark place, and after about a month, Darth Vader OG Autoflower will reach its full potential—smooth, flavorful, and perfectly potent.

Growing Characteristics
Darth Vader OG Autoflower isn’t too demanding, but it’s not beginner-basic either. You’ll need some attention to detail early on. Once it’s going, it handles pests and mold with minimal fuss and thanks to autoflower genetics, you won’t have to worry about light schedules.
This strain will thrive in most controlled spaces with steady airflow. Outdoors, it prefers warmth but can survive in milder zones too.
Plant Size & Structure
Expect a medium-sized plant, about 90 to 120 cm tall. That’s compact enough for tents but big enough to yield respectably.
Its shape is bushy with a thick center cola. Side branches stretch slightly, allowing airflow between nodes to help reduce mold risk. With light training, growers can boost yields without stressing it too much.
Flowering Time
Darth Vader OG Autoflower cannabis seeds are quick. From seed to harvest, they wrap up in about 7 to 9 weeks.
Yield Potential
Yields average around 350 grams per square meter indoors. Outdoors, expect the same per plant if conditions are right. It may not be the biggest of yields compared to most photoperiods but what it lacks in volume, it makes up for in resin quality.

Pro Grow Tip : Darth Vader does very well in a warm climate. Cultivating indoors will allow you to regulate temperature and humidity.
Origin and History
The original Darth Vader OG first came from Oregon’s Ocean Grown Seeds in 2006. It’s a cross of Purple Kush and Skywalker OG—two proven powerhouse strains. It quickly became known for its dark colors and strong sedative effects.
Cali Connection later developed this autoflower version. They made it easier to grow while keeping the knockout high. The name is a nod to its deep color and powerful presence that is a solid tribute to all Star Wars fans.
