Growing Tips for Cotton Candy Kush Auto
Cotton Candy Kush Auto is a tricky strain to grow and should only be attempted by experienced cultivators. Cotton Candy Kush Auto marijuana plants will thrive indoors and outdoors, but have an easier time growing indoors because of the ability to completely control the climate. If you choose to grow indoors, you will have to replicate a steady environment similar to the climate of the Mediterranean. Cotton Candy Kush Auto cannabis seeds grow into plants with bright green buds that are covered in orange pistils. If you choose to grow outdoors, you will need to hope for consistent temperature and humidity to grow these plants to completion. Doing so will ensure that you grow healthy buds from the top of the plants to the buds closest to the soil. Having access to a greenhouse is the best way to give these plants the perfect outdoor climate without having to put up with unexpected outdoor variables. These plants grow to a medium height and can reach around 3-6 feet tall. Because the plants reach a maximum indoor and outdoor height of 6 feet, they will need ample space to grow correctly. The ideal temperature for these plants is around 64-86 degrees Fahrenheit and slightly cooler at night. Humidity levels should be kept around 40-70% during the vegetative growth stage and the flowering stage, but lowering the humidity every week will help this plant grow. Growing indoors will ensure that the moderate humidity levels and moderate temperatures are constant and maintained every day that the plants are in the growing stages. The Screen of Green (ScrOG) and low-stress training (LST) methods will benefit the growth of these plants. These methods focus on plant height and reinforcing the heaviest buds so that they don’t break or bend the branches. The Cotton Candy Kush Auto strain requires an 18-hour light cycle to reach the vegetative stage of growth. Because this strain is autoflowering and has ruderalis genetics, it does not require a change in the light cycle to induce the flowering stage of growth.
Yields, Flowering Time, and Harvest
- Flowering Time: Growing indoors, you can expect the Cotton Candy Kush Auto strain to harvest after a short flowering period of 50-60 days.
