How to Grow CBD Kush Auto
CBD Kush Auto is a mellow, CBD-rich autoflower built for growers who want a gentle, low-THC harvest with classic kush flavour. It carries 6–7% CBD with only a trace of THC, a citrus, earthy and lemon flavour and a relaxed, soothing, night-time character, on a quick, easy plant.
Built from a Kush autoflower crossed with an Auto CBD line, this is a 75% indica, 25% sativa strain bred to keep THC low while bringing CBD forward. The result is a clear-headed, barely psychoactive smoke with the earthy-citrus kush profile growers know, in a fast, hands-off autoflower.

Climate and Where to Grow It
CBD Kush Auto prefers a dry climate with warm days, low humidity and plenty of light, which keeps its resinous buds clean as they fill in. It is a tough, adaptable plant that performs both outdoors and in a controlled indoor tent, reaching a tall-for-an-auto 1.5 m.
Because it is autoflowering, it does not wait for the seasons. You can plant it almost any time in a warm, dry stretch and it will run its full cycle, which makes several harvests in a single year possible outdoors. A single plant brings in a generous 550–600 g outdoors, while indoors it produces a steady 400–450 g/m².
Indoors, aim for daytime temperatures around 68–80°F (20–27°C) and keep steady airflow through the canopy, with humidity on the lower side to suit its dry-climate preference.
Growing Autoflowering Seeds
The big advantage of an autoflower is that it flowers on its own schedule rather than on a light change. CBD Kush Auto starts to bloom a few weeks from seed, regardless of the day length, and finishes the whole run in a quick 8–9 weeks. There is no need to switch the lights to a shorter day.
For the best results, give it plenty of light, 18–20 hours a day works well from start to finish, and start it in its final pot. Autoflowers have a short, fixed life, so transplanting sets them back and costs you growth you cannot get back. Being a female-only autoflower, it also needs no sexing, so there are no males to spot or remove.
Feeding Schedule (EC Guide)
Autoflowers are fast plants that prefer a lighter touch than a big photoperiod strain. Start gently, build up slowly as the plant grows, and taper off for the final flush so the citrus-lemon flavour stays clean.
| Stage | EC (mS/cm) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Seedling | 0.4–0.6 | Very light feed, focus on healthy root growth |
| Vegetative growth | 0.8–1.2 | Build the frame, raise nitrogen gradually |
| Early flower | 1.2–1.4 | Shift toward bloom nutrients (P and K) |
| Full flower | 1.4–1.6 | Peak bloom feed while the buds swell |
| Flush | 0.0–0.4 | Plain water for the final 1–2 weeks |
Flowering and Harvest
With flowering starting a few weeks in, the whole plant is usually ready to cut 8–9 weeks from seed. The indica dominance shows in the structure: compact spacing, dense, resin-coated buds and a short, stout frame rather than long, stretchy branches.
For a CBD strain, timing the harvest around cloudy trichomes keeps the profile balanced and the flavour at its best. Keep the canopy open so light and air reach the lower buds, and run a short plain-water flush in the last week before you cut.
Drying and Curing
Dry whole plants or branches in a dark room at around 60°F (15–18°C) and 55–60% humidity for 7–14 days, until the thin stems snap rather than bend. A slow, even dry stops the dense buds staying damp in the middle while the outside dries out, which protects the bright, citrusy aroma.
Then cure the trimmed buds in sealed jars, burping them daily for the first week and letting them settle for three to four weeks. A proper cure brings the lemon and citrus notes forward over the earthy kush base and smooths the smoke, which is exactly what this CBD-rich cross deserves.
What to Do With Your Trim
Don’t bin the sugar leaves you remove while manicuring. CBD Kush Auto is a resinous plant, so the trim is excellent for dry sift, bubble hash or rosin, giving you a bonus run of CBD-rich, low-THC concentrate from material most growers throw away.
Flavor and Terpenes
CBD Kush Auto has a bright, zesty flavour of citrus and lemon over a soft, earthy kush base, a fresh, clean profile that is easy to come back to. It is a lively, aromatic taste rather than a heavy or gassy one.
It carries a layered terpene stack. Six shape the aroma: citral drives the bright citrus and lemon note; myrcene anchors the earthy, musky base; humulene deepens the woody, earthy side; caryophyllene adds a peppery warmth; pinene lifts it with a fresh, resinous edge; and borneol grounds it with an earthy, camphor-like touch. A supporting cast of cedrene, cadinene, eugenol and fenchol fills in the herbal corners.
Effects and Best Use
With its 6–7% CBD and only a trace of THC, CBD Kush Auto is reported as relaxed, soothing and night-time in character, a gentle, clear-headed feel with very little of the high you would get from a THC-rich strain. It suits growers who want the flavour and body ease of a kush indica while keeping things mild and functional.
Because the THC stays low, it is approachable and easy to enjoy, which fits its beginner-friendly nature. That gentle profile, the fast cycle, the solid yield and the bright citrus-lemon flavour make it a genuinely rewarding grow for anyone exploring CBD-forward cannabis.
FAQ
Is CBD Kush Auto high in THC?
No. CBD Kush Auto is a CBD-forward strain, carrying 6–7% CBD with only a trace of THC. That balance keeps it mild and clear-headed, giving you the kush flavour and gentle body ease of an indica without the strong, heady high a THC-rich strain would deliver.
How long does it take from seed to harvest?
About 8–9 weeks from seed, which is fast even for an autoflower. It starts flowering on its own after a few weeks regardless of the light schedule, so there is no vegetative stage to time and no flip to manage, which keeps the whole run quick and simple.
Do I need to change the light schedule?
No. CBD Kush Auto flowers automatically, so you can run 18–20 hours of light from start to finish and it will not wait for a shorter day to begin flowering. That hands-off schedule is one of the main reasons autoflowers are so forgiving for new growers.
Is CBD Kush Auto good for beginners?
Yes. It is fast, forgiving and needs no sexing, and its low THC makes it approachable to grow and enjoy. Start it in its final pot, give it plenty of light and keep humidity on the low side to suit its dry-climate preference, and it is very straightforward.
What does CBD Kush Auto taste like?
Expect a bright, zesty mix of citrus and lemon over a soft, earthy kush base, a fresh and clean profile rather than a heavy or gassy one. The citrus-lemon top notes come mainly from its citral terpene, with myrcene and humulene filling in the earthy backbone underneath.
How much does it yield?
It is a medium producer that rewards a little space: 1.31–1.47 oz/ft² (400–450 g/m²) indoors, and a generous 19.4–21.16 oz (550–600 g) per plant outdoors in a good, dry season with plenty of sun and a long enough warm stretch for it to finish fully.
