Kandy Kush Auto

Kandy Kush Auto: Berry Flavor

Kandy Kush Auto seeds grow into short and stumpy plants with large buds. The leaves are medium length and pointy, while the buds grow just beneath the leaves. You will see dark pistils growing from within the buds, as well as a thin layer of crystal resin all over the plant. The trichomes that cover the plant make it sticky and give it an added earthy aroma. Once harvested, the nuggets are small and dense and more orange than green. When you break the nuggets apart with your fingers, you can feel the grit and stickiness covering your fingertips. You’ll have a hard time getting that aroma off of your hands. Kandy Kush Auto won the very first Western Slope Cannabis Crown in Aspen, Colorado, in 2010. The strain also took home third prize at the Spannabis Cannabis Champions Cup in 2012. These wins are MAJOR victories for a relatively young cannabis strain. Taking home both of those trophies not only bolstered the strain’s popularity, but it also became world-renowned for its effects and ease of growth.

Dominant Cannabinoids in Kandy Kush Auto:

Cannabinoids play an important role in Kandy Kush Auto seeds and are generally a huge part of most strains of cannabis. That uplifted, happy, and relaxed feeling you get when enjoying the Kandy Kush Auto strain is due to its dominant cannabinoids. Each cannabinoid does something different to the user.

• 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 16%, the THC in this Indica-dominant strain is responsible for the relaxed and happy feeling you get when enjoying Kandy Kush Auto cannabis.
• CBD: Very Minimal Amounts – While the CBD levels in Kandy Kush Auto are around 1%, the cannabinoid is still present, and the effects are noticeable in this strain. CBD plays a smaller role in what the strain does to the user. CBD is non-psychoactive and can produce effects that help with anxiety, sleep, pain, and even stress. The CBD in the Kandy Kush Auto strain, even in its lower amounts, definitely has a positive effect on the user.
