Candy Apples Automatic Seeds

About Candy Apples Automatic

Candy Apples Automatic is a 60/40 indica-dominant hybrid strain bred as a part of the Sensi Seeds Breeding Grounds project with our friends at Fat Beans. This autoflowering strain was created by crossing a ruderalis indica with a blend of Sour Apples and Animal Cookies, providing a mixed lineage highlighted by strains such as Sour Diesel, Cinderella 99, and Girl Scout Cookies.

Plants of this strain typically grow to medium heights and have the potential to deliver heavy yields of dense, chunky buds with impressive trichome coverage. As an autoflowering strain, there’s no need to worry about light schedules, as these plants will begin to flower on their own after a few weeks of growth. This means that these plants can be grown alongside photoperiod plants without any worry about lining up their flowering schedules. These plants perform best in colder, drier climates, making them a great pick for winter growers.

Growth pattern of Candy Apples Automatic

Candy Apples Automatic cannabis seeds tend to grow into medium-sized plants that feature a compact frame and tight internodal spacing, broad leaves, and strong lateral branches that create a dense, bushy canopy, while sturdy stems support heavy, resinous flowers with minimal stretch. The final plant is likely to be dominated by a single main cola that occupies the upper half of the plant, while the lower branches form a relatively uniform canopy.

Indoors, Candy Apples Automatic plants typically grow to heights of 70-110 cm and can generate heavy yields of up to 250-325 grams per square metre over the course of their 60 to 65-day flowering period. Grown outdoors, these plants are unlikely to grow much taller, likely topping out around 80-120 cm, but producing as much as 150-250 grams per plant.

The buds that growers will harvest from Candy Apples Automatic are chunky and bulbous with extremely dense trichome coverage. The flowers grow in dense clusters with heavy calyxes dripping in sticky resin, giving them a truly striking appearance. These buds are rather leafy, which, combined with their intense resin production, can make trimming these plants a bit of a hassle. Fortunately, growers are likely to have a single main cola and a limited number of smaller buds from the lower branches.

As an autoflowering strain, Candy Apples Automatic is a poor choice for many advanced growing techniques. While they are small and compact enough to potentially grow in a sea of green (SOG), the fact that growers cannot control when they flower means that a screen of green (SCROG) or mainlining are simply not viable options.

Effects, taste, and smell of Candy Apples Automatic

Once Candy Apples Automatic plants begin to flower, growers will notice an insanely loud aroma that blends sour green apples, creamy cookie dough, sugary candy, a light vanilla glaze, and a faintly gassy finish. The aroma here is something to behold, as its complexity and sheer potency are sure to attract attention. If you’re a grower concerned about privacy, this strain may prove challenging to conceal.

Once the buds have been properly cured and dried, the aroma mellows slightly, but opening a jar of Candy Apples Auto releases a scent of fresh sour apple, warm buttered sugar, and a doughy, cookie-batter depth that turns into sticky fruit taffy funk that’s sure to turn heads from across the room.

The flavour is equally bold, led by a rush of sweet-and-sour apple candy layered on a creamy dessert-cookie foundation. The exhale is smooth, sugary, and slightly gassy with a sticky, syrupy, and highly memorable aftertaste.

The high is fairly balanced, though leaning towards the sativa side of things as a euphoric, warm, and velvety buzz calms body and mind. Things start with an uplifting and cerebral high that’s sure to spark a burst of creativity. After a bit, things melt into a soft, relaxing body buzz that’s mildly sedative without locking you to the couch. Creative, cheerful, and soothing without killing your motivation.
