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.
