Growing Tips for Our Seeds

Candy Kush’s auto plants prefer a continental climate. Ideal temperatures can always be achieved indoors with an adjustable thermostat and fully controlled grow operation, but if you happen to live in an area that isn’t too warm in the late Summer and early Autumn months, outdoor growing is also a healthy option. Regardless of where you grow your buds we can help you dial in your growing conditions to make sure you walk away with ounces of the dankest buds.

Dial in Your Growing Conditions

• Indoor or Outdoor: Candy Kush can grow in a number of different environments. The ideal temperature for these plants is between 70-85 degrees fahrenheit. You will want to start your grow with 18 hours of light during the vegetative stage and drop it to 12/12 during the flowering stage. Your Candy Kush auto plants will require more than just water. Nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium will allow your garden to truly flourish.
•  Moisture control: The Candy Kush strain requires humidity levels between 50-65% during the initial vegetative phase. Reduce the humidity to a steady 40-45% or lower during the flowering phase.
• Training Techniques: Candy Kush responds really well to the Screen of Green training method and other low-stress training methods. These methods will maximize your light hitting all levels of the plant giving it an even and dense grow.

Yields, Flowering Time and Harvest

• Flowering Time: With indoor grows you can expect the Candy Kush strain to harvest after a flowering stage of 45-55 days. Grown outdoors, this high yield plant should be harvest-ready sometime during Autumn.
• Yields: While Indoor yields are around 300-400 grams per square meter, outdoor grows typically produce up to 200-300 grams per plant. These yields are really good considering the amount of work it takes to grow these plants to completion.

Dominant Terpenes in Candy Kush: Sweet and Sugary Scents

The Candy Kush terpene profile is directly responsible for how the plant smells, tastes and the strong effects it has on its users for over three decades. The most dominant terpene in this strain is beta-caryophyllene, while terpinolene, and myrcene are the secondary terpenes.

• Beta-Caryophyllene: Most Dominant – Spicy notes and a peppery aroma. Helps to soothe joints and muscles
• Terpinolene: Secondary Terpene – Woody scent and citrus notes. Features anti-bacterial properties.
• Myrcene: Mildly Sweet – Relaxing and sedative effects on the user.

Dominant Cannabinoids in Candy Kush:

Cannabinoids, although present in the background, play an important role in Candy Kush seeds and are generally a huge part of cannabis strains. That uplifted, euphoric and relaxed feeling you get when using Candy Kush is due to its dominant cannabinoids. Each cannabinoid does something a little different.

• THC: The Main Character – THC is the most dominant cannabinoid on the molecular level of this strain. The crystalline compound tetrahydrocannabinol is the main ingredient of cannabis. Topping out at 21%, the THC in the Indica-dominant hybrid is responsible for how relaxed and happy you feel after using.
• CBD: Very Minimal Amounts – While the CBD levels in Candy Kush are less than 1%. CBD plays a smaller role in what the strain does to the user. CBD is non-psychoactive. The CBD in the Candy Kush strain, even in its low amounts definitely effects the user but takes a major back seat to THC.
