Mazar Auto, sold at Growlantis as Auto Mazar by Dutch Passion, is an Afghani-heavy autoflower bred for hardiness and a deep, body-heavy stone. It carries the classic Mazar lineage (Mazar x an indica autoflower), finishes in about 10-12 weeks from seed, and rewards growers with earthy, piney, resin-coated buds. It is an easygoing, forgiving plant, which makes it a solid pick for a first grow or for anyone who wants a low-maintenance indica.
This is a strongly indica strain (listed at 90% indica / 10% sativa) with a medium potency of 15-20% THC. The figures below are Dutch Passion’s breeder values. Check the spec on your own seed pack when you need an exact number, since growing conditions change the final result.

What Makes Mazar Auto Worth Growing
The draw here is reliability, not fireworks. Mazar Auto comes from the hardy Afghani Mazar family, so it shrugs off beginner mistakes, handles temperature swings better than most, and still finishes fast. If you want a dependable indica that just gets on with it, this is a strong candidate.
The effect is a heavy, grounding body stone that leans toward relaxation and sleep, which makes it an evening strain. Potency sits in the 15-20% band, lower than the modern 25%-plus hybrids, but the stone feels deeper than the number suggests thanks to the indica genetics and a myrcene-led terpene profile. The trade-off is yield: Dutch Passion rates this line a lower yielder, so you grow it for quality and resilience rather than sheer weight.
If you were after the photoperiod version, our Mazar grow guide covers that one. Everything here is about the autoflower.
Is Mazar Auto Indica or Sativa?
Mazar Auto is heavily indica dominant, listed at 90% indica and 10% sativa. That Afghani weighting shows up in both the plant and the high.
In the plant, you get a sturdy, resinous structure and dense flower. In the high, you get a classic body stone: muscle relaxation, a calm head, and a pull toward sleep. It is the kind of strain you reach for at the end of the day, not before a task list.
Flowering Time vs Full Grow Time
Autoflowers confuse a lot of growers on timing, so it is worth being precise.
- Full grow time (seed to harvest): about 10-12 weeks. This is the figure Dutch Passion publishes, and it covers the whole cycle from germination to a ready plant.
- Flowering stage: this happens inside that 10-12 week window, not after a separate long veg period. Dutch Passion lists the complete lifecycle rather than a separate flowering-day count, so the safest planning number is the full 10-12 weeks.
The takeaway: do not treat 10-12 weeks as flowering and then add veg on top. The plant moves into bloom on its own partway through, and the clock you plan around is the full seed-to-harvest cycle.
Does Mazar Auto Need a 12/12 Light Cycle?
No. Mazar Auto flowers on age, not day length, so it never needs a 12/12 photoperiod to bloom.
Indoors you can hold a longer schedule like 18/6 or 20/4 from seedling to harvest. Dropping to 12/12 once flowering starts only cuts daily light and costs you yield on a strain that is already a modest producer. Keep the longer schedule and good light intensity instead.
Mazar Auto Grow Timeline, Week by Week
Treat this as a development pattern, not a fixed schedule, since phenotype and environment shift the dates.
- Weeks 1-2: germination and seedling. The taproot and first true leaves establish. Keep water light and conditions stable; aim for a clean start, not fast growth.
- Weeks 3-4: vegetative growth. The plant builds frame and may start to show preflowers. This is the window for gentle low stress training while stems are soft.
- Weeks 5-6: stretch and bud set. Mazar Auto stretches noticeably here, taller than many autos, and flower sites fill in. Water demand rises.
- Weeks 7-9: main flower development. Buds thicken, resin builds, and the earthy, piney aroma gets strong.
- Weeks 10-12: maturation and harvest. Most plants finish in this window. Judge ripeness by the trichomes, not the day count.
Choosing Your Setup: Space, Light and Pots
Mazar Auto stretches more than the average autoflower, so give it vertical room. A 2×4 ft tent suits a couple of plants, and you want headroom for the stretch through weeks 5 and 6.
Light intensity drives the yield on a strain that is already a modest producer, so do not skimp. A full-spectrum LED at 25-35 watts per square foot, starting 12-18 inches above the canopy, keeps the buds dense. Dutch Passion recommends full-spectrum LED for even growth, which matches what works well in most home tents.
Plant straight into the final 3-5 gallon fabric pot and skip transplanting, which autos dislike. Fabric pots air-prune the roots and keep the root zone healthy across the short cycle.
Germinating and Raising Seedlings
The paper towel method is the easy, reliable start. Soak the seeds for 12-24 hours, then set them between damp paper towels on a covered plate, kept dark and warm at 70-80°F (21-27°C), the range Dutch Passion recommends for this strain.
When the taproot reaches about 1-2 cm, plant it root-down a knuckle deep in the final pot and keep the surface moist until it breaks ground. Use a light, nutrient-rich soil and hold off on added feed at this stage. New to this part? Our beginner growing guides walk through it step by step.
The Vegetative Stage and Low Stress Training
Veg is short on an auto, so use these weeks to build a wide, even frame. Keep nitrogen available, hold temperatures around 68-77°F, and start low stress training while the branches bend easily.
Because Mazar Auto stretches, low stress training pays off twice: it controls the height and it opens the canopy so light reaches the lower buds, which matters on a strain that does not yield heavy. Go gentle. Skip topping and other high-stress cuts, since an autoflower has no time to recover before the clock flips it into flower.
Feeding and Watering Mazar Auto
Keep feeding moderate. Autos run smaller root systems, so start at about half the label strength and build up only if the plant asks. Use a nitrogen-forward base through veg, then move to a bloom formula higher in phosphorus and potassium as flowering sets in. Mazar Auto is hardy, but it still burns if you push nutrients, so read the leaves and back off at the first sign of crispy tips.
Water by root-zone moisture, not a timetable. A young plant in a big pot needs very little, and soaking the whole medium starves the roots of oxygen. As the plant grows and stretches, demand climbs quickly, so increase water gradually by pot weight and how fast the top layer dries.
Flowering and Knowing When to Harvest
Flowering begins on its own partway through the grow, usually around week four, and the plant stretches before it settles into bud production. The earthy, piney smell gets strong in mid to late flower, so keep airflow moving and run a carbon filter indoors.
As the 10-12 week finish approaches, let the plant decide. Check trichomes under a loupe and harvest when most are cloudy with a few turning amber, which suits the heavy, sedative stone this strain is known for. After the cut, hang the branches in the dark at about 60°F (15-16°C) and 55-60% humidity for 7-14 days, then cure in jars, burping daily for the first weeks. Drying and curing come after harvest and are not part of the seed-to-harvest count.
Growing Indoors vs Outdoors
Indoors, hold 18/6 the whole way and give the plant vertical room for its stretch. Full-spectrum LED and steady 68-77°F conditions get the most out of a modest yielder.
Outdoors, the Afghani genetics make Mazar Auto tough and forgiving. It handles mild weather swings well and does best in warm to temperate conditions, and its short cycle lets you fit more than one run in a long season. A single outdoor plant returns around 200 g, and a greenhouse can push it higher by adding warmth and stability while keeping natural light.
How Tall and How Much? Height and Yield
Height is the quirk to plan for. The profile lists about 0.8 m, but Auto Mazar is known to stretch taller than most autoflowers, so leave room for up to roughly a meter and use training to keep it in check.
On yield, this is an honest lower producer: around 200-300 g/m² indoors and 200 g per plant outdoors, with greenhouse grows reaching higher. You grow Mazar Auto for its hardiness, resin, and heavy stone, not for record weight, and good light plus an open canopy is how you get the most from it.
Best US Climates for Mazar Auto
The Afghani heritage makes this a dry-climate specialist. Growers in California, Colorado, and the drier Southwest get the warm days and low humidity that suit its dense, resinous buds and keep mold away late in flower.
The short, hardy cycle also helps growers in the Pacific Northwest and the northern states, where a plant that finishes in ten to twelve weeks can beat the fall rains. In the humid Southeast, lean on a greenhouse or covered spot and keep air moving. For other varieties, browse our full how-to-grow library.
Common Problems When Growing Mazar Auto
Most Mazar Auto grows slip up in a few predictable ways.
Underestimating the stretch
Auto Mazar is taller than a typical autoflower. Growers who set up for a short plant run out of vertical room in weeks 5 and 6. Plan for up to about a meter and start low stress training early.
Expecting a heavy yield
Dutch Passion rates this a lower yielder. If you are chasing maximum grams, this is not the strain. Maximize what it does give with strong light and an open canopy, and judge it on quality instead.
Overfeeding a hardy plant
Mazar Auto is tough, which tempts growers to push nutrients. The small auto root system still burns. Start at half strength and increase only on demand.
Harvesting by calendar day
The 10-12 week window is a reference, not a cutting date. Read the trichomes and flower maturity before you cut, since phenotype and environment shift the finish.
Mazar Auto vs Photoperiod Mazar
These two should not share a timeline. Mazar Auto flowers on age and finishes the whole cycle in about 10-12 weeks, with a long autoflower light schedule the entire way. Photoperiod Mazar stays in veg until you switch the lights to 12/12, so its seed-to-harvest time depends on how long you choose to veg. For that version, see the full Mazar grow guide.
Making the Most of Your Harvest
Do not waste the trim. The resin-heavy sugar leaves make good bubble hash, dry sift, or infused oil and butter, and Mazar’s Afghani genetics are a classic hash plant, so the trim is worth keeping. The stems, roots, and fan leaves compost well and feed your next grow.
Is Mazar Auto Right for You?
If you want a hardy, forgiving indica with a deep, sleepy stone and real resin, yes. It is a great low-stress grow and a dependable evening smoke. Just go in knowing it is a modest yielder that stretches tall, and plan your space and expectations around that. If you prefer a sweeter, higher-THC autoflower, a line like Wedding Cake Auto is an easy next step.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does Mazar Auto take from seed to harvest?
Mazar Auto finishes in roughly 10 to 12 weeks from germination, according to Dutch Passion. That figure covers the whole seed-to-harvest cycle, not just flowering. Individual plants can run a little longer depending on phenotype and environment, so judge the finish by trichome maturity rather than the day count alone.
Does Mazar Auto need a 12/12 light cycle?
No. Mazar Auto flowers automatically with age, not day length, so it never needs a 12/12 schedule. Indoors you can hold a longer photoperiod like 18/6 or 20/4 from seedling to harvest. Reducing the light once flowering starts only lowers your daily light and costs yield.
How much does Mazar Auto yield?
Dutch Passion rates Mazar Auto a lower yielder, at roughly 200 to 300 g/m² indoors and around 200 g per plant outdoors, with greenhouse grows reaching higher. Strong light, an open canopy from low stress training, and a healthy root zone are the main ways to get the most from it.
How tall does Mazar Auto grow?
The profile lists about 0.8 m, but Auto Mazar is known to stretch taller than most autoflowers, often toward a meter. Plan for extra vertical room, especially during the stretch in weeks five and six, and use low stress training to keep the height manageable indoors.
Is Mazar Auto indica or sativa?
Mazar Auto is strongly indica dominant, listed at 90% indica and 10% sativa, with Afghani Mazar heritage. That shows in a sturdy, resinous plant and a heavy, relaxing body stone that leans toward sleep. It is an evening strain rather than a daytime one.
How strong is Mazar Auto?
Mazar Auto tests at a medium 15-20% THC, lower than modern high-THC hybrids. The stone still feels deep and sedative thanks to the heavy indica genetics and a myrcene-led terpene profile. It suits growers who want a classic, grounding body effect rather than a racy, cerebral high.
Is Mazar Auto good for beginners?
Yes. Its Afghani genetics make it hardy and forgiving, handling temperature swings and minor mistakes better than most. The autoflower timing removes light-cycle juggling. The main things to plan for are its taller stretch and its modest yield, both easy to manage once you know to expect them.
