A pedigree hybrid with a bold flavour

The Seedstockers team is pleased to present Candy Dawg Auto, a cannabis strain that will become a definite must in your automatic seed collection. This plant is especially suited to those looking for an easy-to-grow variety that yields high cannabinoid levels.

Candy Dawg Auto gets her name from her incredible looks and from her family ties with some of the great modern cannabis icons. This strain is an excellent choice for any hybrid fan looking for the calming effect provided by her tasty buds, which are always capable of making any day (or night) a little better.

If we add to this her excellent yielding capacity and her resilience to adversity, we can say that she’s a safe bet that brings together the best features of the top-level autoflowering strains in just one plant.

What’s the genetic origin of Candy Dawg Auto?

There aren’t many three-way crosses available on the market, which makes this particular strain rather special. This is a potent Candy Kush/Chem Dawg hybrid backcrossed with the outstanding OG Kush to obtain top THC levels. If you don’t know the powers of these three rock stars, then it’s about time we introduced you to them.

Candy Kush is a marijuana hybrid that combines two Cali classics: OG Kush (an indica believed to be the ‘Christopher Wallace’ phenotype), and Trainwreck (sativa). The result is a stocky and bushy plant typical of the indica-dominant lineages (although some phenos are more sativa-leaning and develop a structure more characteristic of Trainwreck). As the name suggests, her taste is as sweet as candy, with a strong lemon/Kush aroma. Her THC levels tend to range between 17 and 19%, so she’s a popular choice amongst medical growers because she delivers a potent physical high accompanied by pronounced pain relief.

On the other side of the road appears Chem Dawg, a legendary strain with uncertain genetic history. Although she’s believed to have been born from the cross of native sativa varieties from Thailand and Nepal, many have claimed the creation of this strain, including the story of a complicated seed exchange between fellow growers at a Grateful Dead concert. Whatever her beginnings may be, Chem Dawg has become a basic element of the US cannabis market with her unique flavour, which includes diesel and pine hues, and her happy and energetic high. Although her THC levels are moderate, she hits hard and fast, so she’s great for those who don’t have time to lose.

And what more can be said about OG Kush, one of the most popular varieties available on the market in recent years. Even though she has a name that is almost as popular as Super Skunk or White Widow, her origins still remain somewhat of a mystery. Although nobody’s completely sure, OG Kush probably derives from the cross of Chem Dawg and Hindu Kush or Old World Paki Kush. This is an indica-dominant hybrid known for her high THC count, which leads to intense cerebral effects, giving users a wonderful blend of body-melting euphoria and a calm and tranquil state of mind. If you’ve ever had the pleasure of smelling Seedstockers’ OG Kush, you’ll know that it is one of the freshest aromas that nature can produce.

As you can see, Candy Dawg Auto by Seedstockers has truly been blessed from birth with a great combination of world-renowned parents.

What’s the bag appeal of Candy Dawg Auto’s buds?

This plant develops dense mint green buds with purple hues and a layer of tiny frosty white crystal trichomes. It comes as no surprise that they often take on a rather bold purple background as well, with shades ranging from light to dark, from weak to strong. In the midst of this sea of violets, you can catch glimpses of deep neon green sugar leaves with bright orange pistils that stretch and curl directly towards the clouds.

These sugar leaves are also equally dazzling, with tips ranging from deep purple and burgundy through to coral orange, as if it were a powerful expressionist painting. Both this richness of colour and the bud density help this plant stand out in any pot, bag, or display stand.

Candy Dawg Auto’s aroma: a unique terpene profile

When a Candy Dawg Auto bud is squeezed, the aroma that it releases can be defined as earthy and spicy, with touches of pine and hints of sun-ripened fruits and berries. This extremely aromatic strain is highly acclaimed due to its deeply stratified scent, which can be slightly different depending on the grower. One thing that’s certain is that she smells amazing: it's like a bowl of syrupy berries in the middle of your room, which can be deliciously overwhelming.

Candy Dawg Auto’s main terpenes include myrcene, caryophyllene, and ocimene. The latter may sound unfamiliar, but ocimene is the monoterpene responsible for some of the more herbal and sweet aromas of certain cannabis varieties. In addition, it can also provide some citrus aroma to marijuana, mixed with woody tones.

Terpenes affect flavour but also provide their own set of medical and recreational effects. This specific marijuana terpene also has protective properties attributed to it. Pests like aphids, which can be very harmful to cannabis grows, tend to stay away from strains that contain ocimene.

What’s clear is that Candy Dawg Auto has the most unique and strong terpene profile that you can find in an automatic. Some growers even identify this aroma, after several months’ curing, with that of sweet and sour pickles; so this is certainly a variety that will also surprise lovers of the most exclusive extracts.

What’s Candy Dawg Auto’s flavour?

Candy Dawg Auto’s attractive scent is perfectly balanced by a delicious flavour reminiscent of sweets and fruits. The notes of pine and berries are transferred from the nose to the palate, where the fruity flavours persist (most specifically, a taste of sweet and sour lemon with a rich purple grape aftertaste). During inhalation, most people notice the spicy/herbal taste, but there’s also a persistent berry sweetness that reaches the back of the tongue; and you can even predict the citrus explosion on exhalation.

Candy Dawg Auto’s effects: potency with control

With a lab-measured THCA content between 15 and 20%, this strain is ideal for a wide range of users. Those with high tolerance to cannabis find her even better, as her cannabinoid levels are well balanced, neither too high nor too low. When exposed to light or heat, or even with the passing of time, THCA undergoes a process called decarboxylation (i.e. the elimination of a carbon atom from its molecule), which transforms it into its active form: THC.

How can Candy Dawg Auto’s recreational effects be described?

While Candy Dawg Auto’s THC content may seem relatively modest, if you’re looking for relaxing weed that doesn’t catapult you straight to the couch, then this is the one for you. She hits your brain slowly, sending out bursts of energy so that you can experience a highly creative session. This is a stimulating option that will not only make you feel happier, but also more focused and even hungrier.

Just like rain on a tin roof at night, Candy Dawg Auto has a special way of relaxing you to your core. The high starts with a slow build-up of effects after your final exhalation, making its way into your mind with a soothing urge that relieves any negative or accelerated thinking.

You’ll discover that your mind feels relaxed and slightly out of focus, with a budding sense of creative euphoria that gets your mental gears spinning; so give this strain a try if you want to work on a long-forgotten project, for instance.

You will be overcome with joy as your high continues, but be prepared to come down in the best possible way afterwards. If you’re sensitive to cannabis, you can expect to fall into a pretty deep sleep, whereas others may feel intensely relaxed to the point of becoming couch-locked.

What therapeutic effects does Candy Dawg Auto deliver?

Since this is a balanced hybrid, she can offer the best of several worlds in terms of therapeutic relief. She’s most often used to treat different types of pain, and she’s pretty good at her job. But users who often have sad nights will also enjoy watching their anxiety and depression dissolve away, making room for the ability to fall asleep.

Chronic stress, the symptoms of arthritis, or even appetite problems can also be easily treated with Candy Dawg Auto, making this strain one that you should always have close to hand. In addition, her effects don’t last for too long: after an hour you’ll feel that they start to slowly fade away.

Candy Dawg Auto’s morphology

Due to her autoflowering genetics, Candy Dawg Auto develops into a compact but vigorous plant, with good internodal spacing and many lateral ramifications which make her look like a Christmas bush. As she flowers, the internodes become shorter, which causes the buds to stack up in each internode. This leads to the development of rather thick lateral branching full of satellite buds, which ends in a very tall main cola that shoots up past the rest.

This plant stands out for being extremely robust and tall for an autoflowering, with flexible branches that withstand really well the weight of her above-average crops. Although she’s not demanding in terms of care, this strain will reward you with specimens as high as 100 cm if you provide her with a little TLC. In addition, the great stabilisation and development work carried out by our Seedstockers breeders guarantees the production of very homogeneous plants that will help you to better optimise your growing space.

Cooking with Candy Dawg Auto

If you’re one of those who get lost among the pots and pans, the smoked notes of a barbecue sauce will combine very well with Candy Dawg Auto’s dominant terpene, myrcene, adding some spicy sweetness to the mix. Since we suggest trying this strain after a stressful day, you may also want to look up, for instance, a recipe for pink grapefruit sorbet to end the day as if you were a marquess in a Hawaiian shirt. As the tart sorbet melts in your mouth, so will your sorrows and all thoughts of those who caused them.

Everything you need to know about the cultivation of Candy Dawg Autoflowering

Most growers would probably agree that the level of difficulty of growing Candy Dawg Auto is intermediate. As is characteristic of most indica-dominant varieties, most phenos develop a bushy structure that grows close to the ground. This makes this marijuana strain highly suitable for environments where discretion is key, whether out in the open or in the shelter of a terrace or balcony.

As you don’t need to worry about vertical space, the most suitable place to grow Candy Dawg Auto is indoors, where it’s easier to keep the plants away from rain and humidity, as well as to maintain a stable temperature.

Soil growing methods are probably best for planting Candy Dawg Auto’s seeds because indoor hydroponics can sometimes cause a humidity increase, which can become harmful for the plants. Although hydroponics can work indoors, it requires the implementation of additional measures for it to be successful, such as using a dehumidifier for 24 hours a day.

If you’re planning to plant Candy Dawg Auto’s seeds in pots, always remember to use the largest possible container to avoid transplant stress. A 15 litre or larger pot is ideal if you’re growing individual plants, always with a loose and aerated substrate for greater expansion of the roots. If you want to work in square metres, you can place nine 11 litre pots per square metre for best results.

But be careful not to overdo it: with cannabis, less is always more, because overcrowding can make the plants confront each other. Obviously, it’s not as if they’re going to start betraying each other in the style of Game of Thrones, but overpopulated plants have to fight for the existing resources, such as light and air. Some will dominate and thrive, whereas others may not survive. Reducing overcrowding will reduce the chance of the plants turning against each other. In addition, overcrowded grows tend to have poor air flow; so, if you let the situation get out of control, you could end up suffocating your plants.

Due to her squat and neat shape, Candy Dawg Auto doesn’t need huge amounts of nutrients. However, when you get down to it, she’s quite greedy and a great water drinker, so she won’t be unhappy with a nutrition plan that’s a bit more intense than normal.

Remember that Candy Dawg Auto’s growth cycle lasts around 11 weeks from seed to harvest, with a flowering period that ranges between 7 and 9 weeks. Her indoor yield is usually 350-500 grams per square metre, and always when exposed to a cycle of 20+ hours of light. When grown outdoors, her yield can be up to slightly more than 110 grams per plant.

Candy Dawg Auto has ruderalis genes running through her veins, which contribute to her exceptional resistance to adversities and temperature fluctuations. Even so, she grows better in warm and dry climates, such as those of the Mediterranean and Californian regions, where she can grow to her full potential. Nonetheless, this hybrid also works incredibly well in warmer or even colder climates, but always with the protection of a greenhouse.

As this version flowers from the 3rd or 4th week, regardless of the hours of sunlight that she’s exposed to, you can produce several crops in one season provided the conditions are right. If you only want to grow once, though, plant in early summer to get the best out of her, as the higher sunlight intensity will help her grow more vigorously.

This strain doesn’t grow very high, so you must find a location that’s sunny enough so that even the leaves closer to the ground receive as much sunlight as possible. In addition, an outdoor area that is dry and free from moisture and exposure to rain is recommended.

Even though Candy Dawg Auto is naturally quite resistant to botrytis, mildew, and pests, things can become problematic under wet conditions. On the contrary, you won’t have to worry about bugs, as these little creatures absolutely despise the bitter taste of this marijuana strain, so they tend to stay away. Remember the properties of ocimene!

<      Other growing tips that will help you bring out the best of Candy Dawg Autoflowering

Training your Candy Dawg Auto: It is best to complete the formation process during the vegetative phase. It is essential to act fast because this stage only lasts a couple of weeks for autos. We recommend using an LST or Low Stress Training method, such as pushing the plants down to help boost upward growth.

Autoflowering plants are not to be pruned in the same way as their photoperiod sisters. Every pruning session must start very early into their short life cycle, or otherwise you’ll take the risk of hindering their growth.

We recommend growing autoflowerings both indoors and outdoors. Ideally, plants should be grown in a room with a temperature between 20 and 25ºC, and with 50 to 70% humidity.

24-hour lighting will result in rapid initial growth. Nonetheless, this usually slows down after a few weeks because the plant doesn’t get enough rest and needs a few hours of darkness each day for specific metabolic processes. An 18/6 photoperiod is the most sensible option because it offers a delicate balance of lots of light and ample rest. Plus you’ll be saving money on your energy bill! A 20/4 photoperiod is potentially a happy middle ground.

As you can grow up to 4 to 5 crops per year, you’ll be piling up Candy Dawg Auto’s buds in no time! We also recommend preparing the next harvest whilst you reap the previous one. The main thing is that you don’t have to worry about changing the light cycle because your plants will flower automatically.
