Cataract Kush Auto

Cataract Kush Auto: Beauty in Gray

Cataract Kush marijuana is known for its intense resin-covered trichomes that look crystallized and give it a greyish-black color. The seeds of this popular strain grow into short plants that are unlike anything you have ever seen before. Even if you have loads of experience growing cannabis, you don’t see plants that look like this too often. The leaves are long and purple on top and green on the bottom. You can really see the bright purple leaves in comparison to the dark green and gray buds. The buds are littered with orange and white pistils as well as crystal white resinous trichomes. When harvested, the nuggets are bright green and amber in color. Breaking them apart releases that tasty aroma we discussed earlier. Cataract Kush Auto is a multi-time Cannabis Cup Award-winning variant that deserves a standing ovation for its popularity in the cannabis cultivation community. Winning a single Cannabis Cup is difficult, but winning multiple awards of that importance is nearly impossible. Take a bow, Cataract Kush Auto, you have earned it.
