Do not  forget to check these websites every day because you will find contests and  many news shared directly from their new blog. The offer of 3 + 1 free seed and  5 + 2 free seeds with each pack will still continue and new varieties are  expected very soon, some of them rich in CBD.<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/img\/publicaciones\/201701-ww\/CRYSTAL_CANDY_AUTO(R)_SWS61.jpg\" class=\"foobox\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/img\/publicaciones\/201701-ww\/p_CRYSTAL_CANDY_AUTO(R)_SWS61.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"fotoder\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>During  all these years <em>Sweet Seeds<\/em>\u00ae  carried out a painstaking work of plant test and selection to create a catalog  full of diversity that each grower can easily find its favorite cannabis  strains. Being one of the world\u2019s leading banks in the production of <em>Cannabis<\/em> seeds, each new release is  turned into a challenge to be achieved by the <em>Sweet Seeds<\/em>\u00ae R&amp;D team. As some of you might imagine,  there are many parameters that play a role when evaluating a new genetic in  order to determine if it is suitable for distribution. It is also important to  consider the tastes and personal preferences of each grower but what a good  breeder ultimately brings to a new strain is an adequate balance between all of  them.<\/p>\n<p>In  order to find a strain that is easy to grow, with a high germination rate,  vigorous growth, moderated size and suitable for both indoor and outdoor grows,  allowing for high yields, with excellent effects and tastes, <em>Sweet Seeds<\/em>\u00ae relies on a  large team that struggles every day in the research and improvement of genetics  so that everything goes perfect when you grow them. For some reason they are  one of the seed banks with more Cannabis Cups in the whole Spanish territory.<\/p>\n<p>Concurring  with this celebration and as the main part of this article, they announce and  release one of the many new strains that they have prepared for this year of  2017. It is time to present the brand new <em><a href=\"https:\/\/sweetseeds.com\/en\/outlet\/2314-crystal-candy-auto.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Crystal Candy Auto<\/a><\/em>\u00ae (SWS61).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Sweet Shot<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/img\/publicaciones\/201701-ww\/Crystal Candy Auto-foto secundaria_DSC9146.jpg\" class=\"foobox\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/img\/publicaciones\/201701-ww\/p_Crystal Candy Auto-foto secundaria_DSC9146.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"fotoder\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>When  I see a new strain with such a positive performance and, simultaneously, with a  taste and effect so well balanced, it is difficult not to recommend it to my  friends. I am telling you this while I taste a good vaporization of <em>Crystal Candy Auto<\/em>\u00ae,  harvested about one month ago and I can say that day after day I enjoy it even  more. It is the kind of strain you can 100% enjoy not only while growing it but  also while smoking or vaporizing it.<\/p>\n<p>This  new autoflowering comes from a cross between the latest photoperiod-dependent  stain released by <em>Sweet Seeds<\/em>\u00ae in  2016 &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/sweetseeds.com\/en\/photoperiod-dependent-seeds\/2161-crystal-candy.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Crystal Candy\u00ae<\/a> (SWS58) &#8211; and an autoflowering strain with  very similar aromatic tones: Sweet Special Auto (SWS35).<\/p>\n<p>The  combination of both genetics results in a very aromatic plant, with compact  structure and dense flowers covered by trichomes. The effect is very clear,  leaning to the Sativa side. This strain can be harvested 8 weeks after  germination. It features very vigorous and accelerated growth, producing  multiple side branches and a big main cola. Taste and aroma are absolutely  great and you will love it if you enjoy plants with fruity, sweet and exotic  tones. A plant to fall in love with.<\/p>\n<p>From  my point of view <em>Sweet Seeds<\/em>\u00ae  designed a new autoflowering variety with its own character, exuberant taste  and high yield. Taking in consideration the results obtained in my grow, I am  sure most of you will agree with me once you try it.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Indoor Growing.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/img\/publicaciones\/201701-ww\/Crystal Candy Auto- macro -4con capasret.jpg\" class=\"foobox\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/img\/publicaciones\/201701-ww\/p_Crystal Candy Auto- macro -4con capasret.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"fotoder\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I  usually share grow diaries in different cannabis forums in which I put all my  effort to show in the best way possible the techniques I use to grow my plants  so that everyone can compare results. When I write an article for a magazine I  always do it the same way and from the moment I open the seed package I pay  special attention to the <em>modus operandi<\/em>,  so that it is as clear and clean as possible, always respecting the plants and  giving them a dignified and pleasant life. All the love you give them will be  given back to you.<\/p>\n<p>But  in this case the beginning was not so benevolent for the 6 <em><a href=\"https:\/\/sweetseeds.com\/en\/outlet\/2314-crystal-candy-auto.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Crystal Candy Auto<\/a><\/em>\u00ae seeds that I soaked because the  germination occurred simultaneously with a lack of coordination with a friend  of mine who keeps the soil in his house and so the plants were nearly 10 days  without a pot with soil. As many of you know, because you are enthusiastic  growers, delaying the transplant of an autoflowering plant recently germinated  always has consequences, particularly in the final size of the plant. And,  therefore, a decrease in the final yield is also inevitable. This time span is  crucial for their normal development because autoflowering plants start to grow  slower by the 4th week of life when flowering begins.<\/p>\n<p>Luckily,  and thanks to the fact that the 6 seeds were still alive after my friend came  back, I hurried to give them a good soil and an adequate pot for the cycle and  light potency that they were going to receive. In this case 600W High Pressure  Sodium for a cycle of 20 hours of light and 4 hours of darkness, from  germination to harvest.<\/p>\n<p>I  keep both air extraction and intraction working almost in a continuous way and  inside the closet there are also two medium-sized fans and a heater that keeps  the temperature above 18\u00baC. I recommend keeping the temperature stable between  18\u00baC and 28\u00baC with moderate humidity, between 40% and 80%, as this ensures that  plants always have the right growing conditions. As this grow matched with the  Autumn rainy season there was no need to add humidity, which remained stable.<\/p>\n<p>I  used 10 L and 20 L Airpots. By using two sizes I can see the difference between  them and then decide which ones to use in the future. But I usually prefer the  20 L ones because they make the task much easier. In addition, since Airpots  feature side holes, the soil dries much faster, so the smaller ones required  continuous watering. This is good because it allows us to raise the watering  frequency and you can obtain big harvests but, in my case, I prefer to choose  bigger pots that make cannabis growing easier although at the cost of loosing  yield.<\/p>\n<p>With  autoflowering strains I always use the same soil I would use with any other <em>Cannabis<\/em> strain. According to this I  make sure that the plants have enough food for the first 4 or 5 weeks of life.  It is important to help with bio stimulators to promote the growth of roots and  flowers.<\/p>\n<p>Using  a root bio stimulator helps the plant to generate outstanding root growth,  which is ideal to improve nutrient absorption and, most importantly, to keep  the plants in perfect health. I recommend the use of the flowering bio  stimulator whenever the plant reaches to a certain height and the first pistils  appear, indicating the beginning of flowering. In this grow I started using it  at day 28, when the first flowers started to appear. At that time they had an  average height of 35 cm which does not reveal their maximum potential, but  considering the initial delay I could not complain.<\/p>\n<p>All  the plants were very healthy and at this moment there was no need to add  anything else to the water besides flowering bio stimulator. This was the main  fertilizer that I used because almost all the other nutrients that <em>Crystal Candy Auto<\/em>\u00aeneeded were already present in the soil  mix<em>. <\/em>The most critical moments  happened between the sixth and the seventh week, when some plants started to  ask for more nutrients, especially the taller ones. Besides that, being in  smaller pots they consumed the available nutrients very fast. If this is your  case, you can add some blooming fertilizers. They usually also need a bit of  Calcium and Magnesium at this stage, but this time I did not have to add it. I  only gave them blooming fertilizers twice because they always looked very  healthy, with shiny leaves and an outstanding flower structure.<\/p>\n<p>Adding  nutrients when a plant does not demand them tends to cause undesired  accumulation of salts and usually blocks correct nutrient intake. If you pay  attention to the pictures you will see that the plants were never hungry and  the flowering formation was great. By the way, the bloom nutrients used were  totally organic.<\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/sweetseeds.com\/en\/outlet\/2314-crystal-candy-auto.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Crystal Candy Auto<\/a><\/em>\u00ae produces large central and  lateral buds. Once flowering begins it becomes worth of admiration because the  pistil and crystal production is extreme, leaving all the buds and their  surrounding leaves fully loaded with trichomes.<\/p>\n<div id='producto_2314' class='producto_blog'><div class='foto'><a href=\"https:\/\/sweetseeds.com\/pl\/outlet\/2314-crystal-candy-auto.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img src='https:\/\/sweetseeds.com\/6502\/crystal-candy-auto.jpg' \/><\/a><\/div><div class='texto'><br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/sweetseeds.com\/pl\/outlet\/2314-crystal-candy-auto.html\" class=\"titulo\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Crystal Candy Auto\u00ae<\/a><p style='margin: 5px 0;'><img style='width: 120px;' src='https:\/\/sweetseeds.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/sweetseeds\/images\/stars\/0.png'\/> 0 opinie<\/p><br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/sweetseeds.com\/pl\/outlet\/2314-crystal-candy-auto.html\" class=\"boton\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Zobacz szczeg\u00f3\u0142y<\/a><\/div><\/div>\n<p>By  the end of the 7th week the plants reached to their final height, with between  50 cm and 70 cm. The plants that were grown in 20 L pots ended up with a more  robust structure and produced side branches with compact buds, while the plants  grown in the 10 L pots grew a bit taller. With each watering the differences in  the flower formation of both pot sizes was perfectly visible. The flower bio  stimulator used at its highest dose together with the vigor of <em><a href=\"https:\/\/sweetseeds.com\/en\/outlet\/2314-crystal-candy-auto.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Crystal Candy Auto<\/a><\/em>\u00ae were the  perfect combination for an explosion of pistil production in the buds. While  avoiding to saturate the soil with several types of fertilizers I managed to  get healthy plants without any spots by the end of flowering. Maybe they missed  that extra week of growth but I can not complain about the final results.<\/p>\n<p>After  observing the way they develop I think that this strain may be very adequate to  Low Stress Training techniques (LST). You can try to do this or other type of  technique that is not too aggressive to the plant, allowing it to level its  side branches with the main bud. You will probably be surprised with the  results.<\/p>\n<p>They  were harvested with 60 days from germination, just before I made a video and a  good photographic session that you will be able to see on the Internet very  soon, together with the pictures shown in this article. I could not weight the  harvested flowers but I can estimate that it was very close to a gram-per-watio  grow operation.<\/p>\n<p>The  flowers of this magnificent strain feature a sweet, wild fragrance, with shades  of mature fruit and acid hints that are reminiscent of melon or strawberry. It  is one of these aromas that make you want to stick your nose inside the bud for  a long time to be able to discover it. You can already imagine the taste of the  buds after they cure for a while. It is <em>Iberian  chorizo<\/em>, as my colleagues like to label good marihuana.<\/p>\n<p>For  this article I used a couple of buds that were already very well cured. After I  used one in the vaporizer I was able to taste the freshness of <em>Crystal Candy Auto<\/em>\u00ae, full and  very powerful in the mouth. If features a lot of mature fruit hints, between  acid and sweet. The effect is noticeable after a very short time and allows for  a truly lucid and creative feeling.<\/p>\n<p>The  other bud has been rolled into a joint that I just finished smoking right now  and, as you might well imagine, nothing compares to the pure taste of the vapor  but I have been a smoker for many years and for me the best way to evaluate  weed is in the form of a joint. This allows me to compare it with all the other  strains that I have tried in the past. Vaporized <em>Cannabis<\/em> is usually very fresh and pleasant in the mouth, but not  all the weed is equally good when you put them into paper and set it on fire.  This one is excellent and very rich in aromas, filling your lungs and pleasing  your sense of smell.<\/p>\n<p>I  hope you enjoy this strain as much as I do and that you find space for this  beauty from <em>Sweet Seeds<\/em>\u00ae  in your next run.<\/p>\n<div align=\"right\">Thanks  for reading and sweet grows! &#8211; Jaypp<br \/>\nArticle extracted from the Weed World magazine 127<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recently Sweet Seeds\u00ae celebrated the 11th anniversary as a seedbank and just like last year there will be many surprises not only in the social networks (Facebook, Twitter and Instagram) but also in cannabis forums where they have their own commercial subforums.
