Gift Giver… In Greek legend, Pandora was the first woman on earth, endowed with a special gift from each of the Gods that sat on top of Mount Olympus. This was the inspiration for the name of this sweet and spicy indica dominant Autoflower plant, a big yielder and one of the quickest finishers in the Paradise Auto collection.
Pandora is one of our Autoflowering varieties which has been bred with the medical user in mind. When it first came out, it earned the reputation for being one of the most powerful Autoflower plant strains in the world. We have used the ruderalis genes to give it the characteristic quick flowering time and short stature, but the rest of Pandora’s personality is pure indica, in the tradition of our famed varieties Sensi Star and Spoetnik #1.
Lineage
A real Indica heritage resides in the genetic makeup of Pandora cannabis seeds. The plants produced by this strain are characterized by a potency which originates from its parents which have been plucked from the Indian subcontinent. Dominating the mix is an oily Afghan landrace and a measure of Indian sativa to bring some balance to the strain. The Auto element comes from the cannabis ruderalis strain which grows in the Arctic Circle region.
Aromas and Flavours
The fragrance has been described as intense and sweet in the grow room, with Humulene and Caryophyllene ascendant in the terpene profile. The sweetness carries through to the taste once the buds have dried, accompanied by a pleasantly spicy edge.

Some growers suggest leaving it for an extra week to get extra weight on the yield.

and across the southern hemisphere, Pandora offers the potential to produce yields that will even exceed our average yield estimates. This plant is also a satisfactory performer for gardeners in northern parts of Europe and Canada and a good option for those wanting to harvest early.
