Of all the strains that exist there are some that excel in certain areas. Some will offer a sublime taste, others the kind of high that seems to take you exactly where you want to be. Auto Pounder by Auto Seeds exists to provide the kind of yields that even the most committed smoker will struggle to get through.

Auto Pounder came about from crossing Auto #1 with the heavy yielding Big Bud and Power Plant, creating an autoflowering strain that managed to retain its non-autoflowering qualities. This has understandably made Auto Pounder a hit with both commercial and personal growers, combining fruitful harvests with a high quality smoking experience. The result is a strain that has something to offer everybody.

Strength

Having a mix of both indica and sativa alongside its autoflowering ruderalis genes, Auto Pounder offers a multi-layered smoking experience that may just hit the spot.

The strain packs a medium to high THC level, making this one to be handled with care lest it leave you in the land of couch lock. Normal and measured use of Auto Pounder, however, will see you enjoying its powerful high as it offers both a mentally stimulating experience and a rich deep bodily stone. These elements combine to leave you simultaneously feeling sharp-witted and relaxed.
This understandably also makes it useful for medicinal use, assisting those struggling with poor appetite and stress through its soothing waves of THC-laced bliss.

Yield

Auto Pounder may do many things right, but the trait this strain is best known for is the sheer size of its yields. It is generally regarded as being the most productive autoflowering strain due to the volume of its harvests, easily separating itself from the pack. This makes Auto Pounder a viable option even to those who would usually not consider an autoflowering strain. Unlike most other autoflowering plants out there, Auto Pounder even produces levels of bud you would normally associate with non-auto strains.

If cultivated under optimal conditions, Auto Pounder will reward a careful grower with as much as 450g of yield per m2. This means it is possible to get almost a whole pound of bud from a single harvest of Auto Pounder, making this one strain that has found countless fans in commercial and recreational growers alike.

Speed

Despite the fat harvests the strain promises, Auto Pounder does not demand much in return and offers an easy growing experience that even novices will see positive results from. This is helped by the excellent disease resistant genetics of the plant, keeping it healthy and warding off pests. Due to its autoflowering genetics it also does not demand attention be paid to its lighting phases as other strains do.

The heavy yields that Auto Pounder provides are produced by a plant that will grow larger than the average autoflowerer, and has a notably high bud to leaf ratio. It can grow as tall as one metre, though may also stop growing at around 60cm. Auto Pounder is a patient strain but will not make you wait too long for its harvest either, taking 70-80 days from flower to seed.
Indoor growers may wish to place Auto Pounder in a separate pot to allow for the strain’s more low maintenance lighting requirements. However, apart from that there is little else this strain really demands.

Outdoor growers may also find they have a fairly easy time. The small stature of the plant makes it a discreet option, reaching the same 60-100cm height as when it is cultivated indoors. It is a fairly hardy strain, weathering cooler climates well provided the plant is kept in well-conditioned soil and exposed to enough sunlight. Auto Pounder will then reward outdoor growers with a bountiful mid-October harvest.

Taste

While much of the praise given to Auto Pounder concerns its generous yields, the quality and taste of its bud is not to be overlooked. This again is unusual for an autoflowering strain, which usually obtain their easy growth at the expense of flavour.
This is certainly not the case here as we experience the rich sugariness packed into each bud. This is a fruity sweetness mixed with a skunkiness, both of which are amplified when the bud is dried and cured.

Bag Appeal

Auto Pounder manages to be both unassuming and deliciously reassuring right from the start. The buds are fairly round and very dense which goes some way to explaining the weighty yields the plant creates. Along with this is the sweet skunky aroma that perfectly matches the flavour. Rest assured, this is one strain that does not disappoint.

Though it is best known for its sizeable yields, Auto Pounder packs many surprises into its diminutive frame. From the great taste to the satisfying high, you will quickly find that Auto Pounder offers far more than you would expect.

Berry Bomb is the product of taking something amazing, imagining what it would be like if it was just better, then making this a reality. This is exactly what Bomb Seeds did with this strain, taking a hand-picked Blueberry and crossing it with Bomb #1. This resulted in a fine mix of genetics, creating a strain that has all the charm and flavour of Blueberry, but with more THC, heavier yields, and (some may argue) a better taste.

Strength

Berry Bomb is an indica dominant hybrid, with an approximately 85:15 indica/sativa split. Contrary to what you may expect though, this is no simple couch lock experience and actually offers a great high that is suitable anytime, but is best used at night. Packing a hefty THC level that has been found to be as high as 23% and a CDB level around 2-3%, this is one ride you may wish to set aside a few hours for.

The initial sensation after smoking comes swiftly, beginning with a strong head buzz that is both uplifting and inspiring, and may even spur creativity in some people. This mental stimulation slowly eases off as the bodily effects begin to take hold, stripping away any anxiety and leaving you in a deep state of relaxation. As this settles into a classic smooth indica stone you may want to do nothing more than enjoy your comfortable surroundings and get lost in a good record or film to match the cerebral high.

Berry Bomb also provides such a beautiful relaxing sedative effect that it can help with insomnia, lulling you into a deep sleep. It may even be used medicinally for other maladies such as tension headaches, migraines, inflammation and chronic pain. This has made it a smoke of choice for many medicinal users.

Yield

Berry Bomb knows how to reward skilled growers just as it rewards smokers. This is one strain that is known for its generous yields if grown well, offering anywhere between 500-600g of product per m2 of plant.

Offering a great bud to leaf ratio, Berry Bomb is one strain that is certainly worth the effort.

Speed

Sporting the kind of mould resistant genetics that newcomers and seasoned growers alike will appreciate, cultivating Berry Bomb does not demand the kind of hard work that some strains do. This is all thanks to its Bomb #1 parentage, which combined with its Blueberry side makes it a quick grower that stays easy to crop and trim.

It can be grown indoors or outdoors if you can provide the semi-humid Mediterranean environment it requires. Sporting a thick and broad base the strain can grow anywhere between 90cm to 140cm depending on the conditions.

If it is grown outside you may find the lower night-time temperatures turning the plant vivid shades of blue and purple. Another consequence of growing Berry Bomb outdoors is how large the plant can get by allowing it to thrive in a natural environment. An outdoor harvest should be ready in September or October, providing you with the best quality and quantity this strain has to offer.

Indoors you will see Berry Bomb growing to a very respectable medium size, especially if using the Screen of Green (SCRoG) method. It also has a fairly squat and bushy shape that makes it ideal for indoor growth. The plant begins flowering early on and should be ready for harvest within six to eight weeks.

Taste

Inheriting the famous and much loved taste of its Blueberry parent, Berry Bomb offers an intense taste experience that many believe is even better than Blueberry itself. The flavour is strong, sweet, based around a central berry taste with thick earthy notes of pine that add complexity to the flavour and prevent it getting sickly.

There is a subtle spiciness to the strain too, a detail which makes the experience all the more satisfying as you exhale the thick sweet smoke that carries just a trace of tartness to it.

Bag Appeal

Berry Bomb boasts an appealing purple-blue hue in the buds that provides an alluring clue to the taste to come. Truly, this is one strain that lives up to the promise offered by its looks. If the purple bud colouring indicates the sweet berry taste waiting to be released, then the red and orange flecks suggest a more fragrant side of the aroma. In this latter part of the scent we find hints of pepper, cedar and pine, giving a rustic and almost comforting side to the overall fruitiness.

The buds themselves are hard, compact, and cling together densely. Finishing them off is a frosty layer of trichomes that sit on the surface, as alluring as the icing sugar coating it looks like.

Berry Bomb is one of those rare strains that just seems to do everything right. On the surface it may seem like ‘Blueberry but better’, but even such praise doesn’t do it justice. Berry Bomb has taken the best from both Blueberry and Bomb #1 to create something bigger, brighter, and, many would say, superior.

Every year new strains of weed are introduced, often developed simply to see what great results can be achieved. Faster flowering and higher yielding, providing a stronger stone, all grown like there’s some secret THC-laced arms race happening. If one didn’t know better, they may think that Candy Kush by Auto Seeds was the product of this – a high point in the development of a strain that seems to offer everything. Breeding the legendary high-yielding Auto Pounder with a variety of Californian Kush strains seems to have done the trick. The result is a quick growing indica/sativa/ruderalis hybrid whose small size belies the chunky and delicious yield it provides.

Strength

Smoking Candy Kush is nothing short of sublime, offering the kind of exquisite full body stone that proudly displays the quality of the strain. This is just what you need for a serious chilling session, with both THC and CBD levels being so high you may not want to do much else. Beginning with a steadily increasing and soothing high that first envelops the mind, the bodily sensations soon follow in relaxing waves as it gradually unwinds for a full knockout effect. Be aware, this is no mild buzz, it is a serious high and can last for hours.

Yet there is subtlety in this steamroller of a strain, and despite its strength the effects of smoking are very well balanced, offering a finely proportioned high that serves both body and mind. This deep numbing stone also serves it well for medicinal use, helping with problems such as insomnia or providing pain relief.

Yield

Candy Kush is an autoflowerer, but proportionately the volume of weed made by this modest sized plant is truly impressive. Under ideal conditions a yield of 400g per square metre can be obtained, promising a volume of high quality and high potency bud that is almost unheard of from an autoflowering strain. Upon growing, Candy Kush will branch out and begin flowering at numerous bud sites, filling its short body with generous amounts of bud largely from the central kola. You may also see some small bud production on the lateral branches, all coated in the glistening resin that gives clues to the strain’s potency.

Speed

Candy Kush is not only popular for its fantastic high and thick yield, however, it has also proven remarkably reliable and easy to grow even for beginners. It needs only 65-75 days to reach full growth, a stout 50-60cm when cultivated indoors, which makes it useful if space or visibility is a concern. On top of this it only needs a simple setup to flourish and can benefit from using the Screen of Green (SCRoG) or Low Stress Training (LST) methods.

Its diminutive size and easy growing genetics also makes it ideal for outdoor growing, and it can be harvested as early as May. This is helped by it being very resistant to mould, pests and diseases due to its excellent kush genetics, and it can even cope with cooler climates. The plant may be short but it is sturdy and has a bushy growth structure that makes it more robust.

Candy Kush is known for its quick turnaround time, and growers can take advantage of this by cultivating it with a continual supply system and permanent light exposure. Following this all you need is to feed in new plants, have patience, and harvest it every two weeks or so.

Taste

Even before the high though, the taste and smell of Candy Kush is where the fun really begins. The moment you open the bag you will be hit with the unforgettable kush scent we all know and love. Candy Kush has a citrus-y twist to it though, and more delicate noses may even pick up on notes of petrol.

Lighting it up reveals one of the biggest reasons for Candy Kush’s popularity – the mind-blowing taste. Inhale and release to be hit with a deliciously sweet blast of burnt caramel and spices, all blended with the natural earthiness of a good kush strain. This is definitely one for kush aficionados, combined with all the sweetness you can expect from a strain with ’Candy’ in its title.

Bag Appeal

This modest little powerhouse charms right from the start with its appearance. Pluck the bud from the plant and what you see is a dense lime-green body with wild orange flecks, as colourful as it is vibrant. Completing this is a thick and frosty layer of trichomes that could make even the most experienced smoker’s mouth water.
From its quick and easy growth and high yield to its fine taste and fantastic high, Candy Kush is a strain that just seems to tick all the boxes. The finely blended mix of kush genetics will impress new smokers and cannabis connoisseurs alike, while the Auto Pounder side of its parentage makes it ideal for both indoor and outdoor growers. Candy Kush confidently provides something for everybody, and those considering growing for the first time would do well to start right here.
