Kush XL Auto

Kush XL Auto: Remarkable Buds

The Kush XL Auto strain of cannabis grows from seeds to flowers relatively quickly. The plants are short but very bushy, with long leaves that are bright green and perfect. The buds are covered in leaves, which makes them grow faster as the leaves act as sun catchers or, better yet, solar panels. The UV rays are attracted to the leaves, which ultimately turns the sun’s powerful rays into food for the plant. The buds feature white pistils and aren’t completely coated in trichomes like a lot of other strains. This is due to the Kush roots we discussed earlier. The finished nuggets are green, brown, and orange and crumble to the touch, making them perfect for packing bowls and rolling joints. A version of the Kush XL Auto strain, specifically the Auto Blackberry Kush version, won second prize at the 2018 Highlife Cup in the Auto-flower category. This award-winning strain is a huge hit among growers looking to fill their gardens and grow rooms with a reliable bud.

Growing Tips for Our Seeds

Kush XL Autoflower grows best in a Mediterranean-like or tropical climate. It can be grown indoors or outdoors. This strain is considered to be easy to grow and is perfect for growers with little to no experience cultivating their own cannabis plants. Once the plants begin to flower and the buds are mature, it is time to harvest. Cut the branches and hang them upside down in a cool, dry place for 7-10 days. When they are fully dried, clip the buds and put them into jars. Open the jars every day for the first week to release any moisture. In 2-4 weeks, the buds will be ready to enjoy.

Dial in Your Growing Conditions

• Indoor or Outdoor: Kush XL Auto cannabis plants can be grown indoors and outdoors by all levels of growers. The ideal temperature for these plants is around 70-85 degrees Fahrenheit. During the vegetative phase, maintain a light cycle of 18 hours of light per day to promote healthy growth. Because this strain is an auto-flower variety, it does not need a change in light to enter the flowering stage. It will do this automatically making the grow a bit easier on first-timers.
•  Moisture control: Humidity levels should be kept around 60-70% during the vegetative stage and maintained at 40-50% during the flowering stage of growth. Maintaining constant, lower humidity will help keep mold and mildew off of your plants and help them grow faster.
• Training Techniques: Techniques such as pruning, topping, Low-Stress Training (LST), and Screen of Green (ScrOG) can significantly bolster yield. Timely harvesting and meticulous curing practices are essential to optimize the quality of the final product.

Dominant Terpenes in Kush XL Auto: Earthy and Herbal

The Kush XL Auto terpene profile is directly responsible for how the plant smells and tastes and the strong effects it has on its users. The most dominant terpene in this strain is delta 3 carene, while sabinene and humulene are secondary terpenes.

• Delta 3 Carene: Most Dominant – Bicyclic monoterpene found in cannabis as well as other plants in nature.
• Sabinene: Secondary Terpene – A monoterpene with a spicy, piney, and citrusy flavor and aroma profile.
• Humulene: Hoppy – Found mostly in hops when making beer and cannabis plants, this terpene is earthy in flavor and aroma.

Dominant Cannabinoids in Kush XL Auto:

Cannabinoids play an important role in Kush XL Auto seeds and are generally a huge part of most strains of cannabis. That relaxed, sleepy, and happy feeling you get when enjoying the Kush XL 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 24%, the THC in this Indica-dominant strain is responsible for the happy and relaxed feeling you get when enjoying Kush XL Auto cannabis.
• CBD: Very Minimal Amounts – While the CBD levels in Kush XL 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 Kush XL Auto strain, even in its lower amounts, definitely has a positive effect on the user.
