Candy Dawg Autoflowering: the grower’s comment

I find this strain extremely forgiving and easy to grow. It responds very well to external stresses, including heat without much difficulty. I’m sure the heat of the summer (above 30 ° C / 85 ° F) reduced the yield slightly, but I still managed to achieve a yield of 1 gram per watt. I am equally sure that with better conditions this variety can achieve an even greater yield. 

I believe this variety responds very well to various cultivation techniques. I used the technique called “main-lining ” and it worked very well. I recommend it for its ease of execution, in case your plant got off to a very healthy and trouble-free start.

I have used as little as possible or even less than what this variety needs. He looked very happy in my DWC at around 1.0 EC maximum while my water EC hovers around 0.14 EC. I used Remo fertilizers.

 

Taste

Exactly as its name suggests: very sweet and caramel. Really sugary albeit brilliant and with hints of fruit. Very pleasant and homogeneous. My patient and I loved the taste and found it very satisfying.

 

 

Therapeutic Effects: Candy Dawg Autoflowering Seeds

My patient suffers from ALS and this causes her a variety of pains: from inflammatory pains, to the nervous system, to muscle cramps.

To our surprise we realized that this variety helped her a lot to relieve all these pains. Although not considered to be the best for the nervous system, Dutch Passion’s well-known Blue AutoMazar is a great alternative for this purpose, and given its anti-anxiety and pain-reducing effects it can be considered an excellent strain for what concerns the therapeutic effects as well as the sudden reduction of pain.

I’m sure this strain would suit a wide range of pains from various ailments. I am aware that each case is unique, but seeing such immediate relief was quite encouraging. It is another tool in our arsenal and is destined to remain there. Really highly recommended.

 

Are Candy Dawg Autoflowering Seeds Suitable for Wax?

Yes, they are suitable for pressing. I got quite satisfactory yields from pressing and the quality of the wax was good.

Conclusions

  • Responds well to most cultivation techniques, including “main-lining”
  • Strict, easy and generous strain to grow
  • Medium / Low food requirement
  • Just over 180 grams of grade A buds with 180w of light in 67 days.
  • Great therapeutic effects. Pain relief resulting from different symptoms.
  • Great anti-anxiety effect, very relaxing for the body and mind.
  • Pleasant, with a sweet and brilliant taste.

 

 

While this strain is excellent and I recommend it to everyone, for both recreational and therapeutic use, I give it a 4.5 instead of a full 5 because there are even better strains that give medical coverage and even better yield than this strain.

As the grower showed us this week, his harvest is also reliable and substantial. Most experienced growers love this feminized seed strain for its high strength buds, ease of cultivation and above average yield. This went from seed to harvest in just 67 days, making this strain one of the fastest ways to get connoisseur quality cannabis.

In any case, you should use another type of medication for your recreational needs and seriously try this one for different purposes.

Candy Dawg Autoflowering has always been one of the best-selling Seed Stockers strains ever since.
She is a THC rich strain that is easy to grow and uses some of the US genetics to produce top quality cannabis.
