Silver Kush Auto: Relaxed and Woody
Silver Kush Auto seeds grow into medium to tall plants with buds at the very top, like a crown. The dark green leaves under that topmost bud form a canopy that drinks in the sun’s rays to help feed the weed plant. The buds of this strain are white and green and appear to be purple under certain lights. Looking closely at the buds you can clearly see the crystal resin trichomes that make this plant shimmer with a sugary-like glitter. The harvested nuggets are bright green with pronounced orange hairs. Breaking apart these super dense nuggets will release that earthy and woody fragrance we talked about earlier. While Silver Kush Auto has yet to win any major awards, its parent strains are decorated over and over again with Cannabis Cup wins in major categories. Feminized Silver Kush Auto cannabis seeds only received positive reviews, which makes sense considering this Sativa-dominant hybrid’s mood-boosting, relaxing effects, ease of growth, and delicious minty flavors.
Growing Tips for Our Seeds
Silver Kush Autoflower cannabis seeds are suitable for novice growers, particularly because of the addition of incredibly resilient Ruderalis to this strain’s genetics. Silver Kush cannabis plants can thrive outdoors or indoors, generally responding quite well to a warm climate. If nurtured inside, you’ll probably want to use some kind of odor absorption system depending on whether a strong weed scent is an issue, as Silver Kush auto plants are not discreet in terms of their scent. Of course, if the fragrance isn’t an issue you should have no trouble growing this strain indoors or out.
Dial in Your Growing Conditions
- Indoor or Outdoor: Silver Kush 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. Being that this strain is an autoflowering strain, it does not require a change in light to induce the flowering stage. It will change all on its own.
- Moisture control: Humidity levels should be kept around 50-70% during the vegetative stage, gradually decreasing to 40-50% during the flowering stage to prevent mold and promote healthy bud development.
- Training Techniques: Low-stress straining is the best method to use with Silver Kush Auto. This technique adjusts the top canopy so that light and air reach the lower levels, creating an even grow and producing higher yields come harvest time.
