Strawberry Kush Auto: Fruity, Herbal, Sweet

Strawberry Kush Autoflowering cannabis plants have varying heights depending on where they’re grown. The buds produced by these beautiful plants are very dense in structure, which is a common indica trait, and they have very large colas. Depending on the phenotype, Strawberry Kush cannabis’ sticky nuggets, which are adorned in a glittering array of white crystal trichomes, can have a reddish coloring to them with pink pistils sprouting out from within. When harvested the finished nuggets are almost completely amber in color with flashes of green poking through. These nuggets give off a strong and pungent Kushy scent that growers and users love. This strain has taken home some pretty impressive hardware, including First Place Sativa in the 2022 HTCC People’s Choice competition, ninth place in the Emerald Cup in 2023, and Second Place Sativa at the 2024 HTCC People’s Choice competition. These are some prestigious awards for a relatively new bud on the cannabis scene. If you are picking your next grow based on a hardy resume, then you would be hard-pressed to find a better one than Strawberry Kush Auto.

Growing Tips for Our Seeds

Strawberry Kush Auto seeds are pretty easy to cultivate, making this a good strain for beginner growers to gain more experience with. This strain performs well in a greenhouse or indoors in a warm temperature-monitored grow tent. If you are going to grow this Indica inside, you may need to top your plants regularly as they produce large buds and have a tendency to shoot up rather quickly. As a strain that is resistant to common molds and mildew, it can be grown both outside and inside, with experts and experienced growers advocating for outdoor cultivation, where its bushy plants can reach their full height potential if you live in a place that has a warm and sunny climate that is akin to what you might experience in the Mediterranean.

Dial in Your Growing Conditions

• Indoor or Outdoor: Strawberry Kush cannabis plants can be grown indoors and outdoors by all levels of growers. The ideal temperature for these plants is between 70-80 degrees Fahrenheit. For the duration of the grow, you will want to provide this strain with ample sunlight. 18 or more hours per day will get this plant through the vegetation stage, and because it is an autoflowering variety, you don’t need to adjust the light cycle to get to the flowering stage and into your harvest.
•  Moisture control: Ideally, the humidity should be kept between 40% and 50% during the vegetative stage. However, during the flowering stage, it is advisable to lower the humidity to around 40% to get your plants to harvest.
• Training Techniques: These plants will respond well to either the Sea of Green or Screen of Green methods, and you will need to keep an eye on your upper branches so that they don’t get entangled with the colas in the center. Both methods help improve yields by allowing the plant to receive light at all levels. This is paramount to harvesting bigger buds and more weight once you are finished.

Dominant Terpenes in Strawberry Kush: Aromatic

The Strawberry Kush 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 bisabolol, while caryophyllene and limonene are secondary terpenes.

• Bisabolol: Most Dominant – Found in chamomile and cannabis plants, this terpene can produce a calming and relaxing effect on the user.
• Caryophyllene: Secondary Terpene – The “spicy and peppery” terpene. Found in cinnamon, cloves, black pepper, and cannabis.
• Limonene: Found in Citrus Rinds – Providing a citrus and earthy taste and smell, this terpene can also help with anxiety and improve lung function.

Dominant Cannabinoids in Strawberry Kush:

Cannabinoids play an important role in Strawberry Kush seeds and are generally a huge part of most strains of cannabis. That relaxed, happy, and euphoric feeling you get when enjoying the Strawberry Kush 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 22%, the THC in this Indica-dominant strain is responsible for the happy and relaxed feeling you get when enjoying Strawberry Kush cannabis.
• CBD: Very Minimal Amounts – While the CBD levels in Strawberry Kush 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 Strawberry Kush strain, even in its lower amounts, definitely has a positive effect on the user.
