CBD Auto Blackberry Kush

CBD Auto Blackberry Kush Cannabis Seeds

CBD Auto Blackberry Kush is an autoflowering CBD-rich cannabis seed from Dutch Passion, bred by crossing CBD Charlotte's Angel with Auto Blackberry Kush. She packs 15% CBD with less than 1% THC — all the cannabinoid goodness, none of the head change. From seed to harvest in roughly 11 weeks, she's one of the most straightforward CBD cultivars you can grow, and the berry-sweet flavour profile makes the end product genuinely enjoyable to smoke or process into concentrates.

Why Grow CBD Auto Blackberry Kush Seeds?

Most CBD strains taste like you're chewing on a hemp rope. That's the honest reality — breeders focused so hard on cannabinoid ratios that flavour got left behind. CBD Auto Blackberry Kush is the exception. Dutch Passion started with their cup-winning Blackberry Kush, a strain already famous for its dark-berry sweetness, and crossed it with CBD Charlotte's Angel to push the CBD content to 15% while keeping THC below 1%. The result is a CBD cultivar that actually tastes like something you'd want to smoke.

The autoflowering genetics mean she doesn't need a light schedule change to start flowering. Keep her under 18–20 hours of light from germination to harvest and she'll do her thing in about 11 weeks. No photoperiod timers, no light leak paranoia, no separate veg and flower rooms. For growers who want CBD flower without the fuss, this is about as low-maintenance as it gets.

She develops one dominant central cola with sturdy side branches — a compact indica-leaning structure that doesn't need much training. In the right conditions (cooler night temperatures during late flower), those buds turn deep purple and dark blue. Even if you never smoke the harvest, the plant itself is a looker.

Flavour and Aroma of CBD Auto Blackberry Kush

This is where CBD Auto Blackberry Kush genuinely stands apart from most CBD strains on the market. The terpene profile leans heavily into dark berries — think blackberries and blueberries with an earthy, slightly musky undertone. When you break open a cured bud, the room fills with that sweet, fruity funk. The smoke itself is smooth, with forest fruit sweetness on the inhale and a subtle earthy finish on the exhale. It's the kind of flavour that makes you want to take a second hit just for the taste.

The resin production is heavy for a CBD auto. Trichomes coat the buds and sugar leaves generously, which is partly why the flavour is so pronounced — those trichomes are packed with terpenes. This also makes CBD Auto Blackberry Kush an excellent candidate for making CBD-rich concentrates, rosin, or infused oils. If you've got a rosin press, you'll get good returns from this one.

How to Grow CBD Auto Blackberry Kush

1. Germination: Soak seeds in water for 12–24 hours, then transfer to damp paper towels in a warm, dark spot (20–25°C). Taproots typically emerge within 2–4 days.
2. Planting: Place the germinated seed taproot-down into its final pot — autos don't like being transplanted. An 11–15 litre pot works well. Use a light, airy soil mix or set up your hydro system.
3. Light schedule: Set your lights to 18–20 hours on from day one. She's autoflowering, so this schedule stays the same from seedling to harvest. No need to switch to 12/12.
4. Vegetative phase: She'll grow a single dominant main stem with side branches forming naturally. Light feeding during this stage — autos are sensitive to overfeeding. If you want to train her, gentle LST (low-stress training) in the first 3 weeks is your window.
5. Flowering: She'll begin flowering automatically around weeks 4–5. Increase your bloom nutrients gradually. If you want those purple and blue hues, drop night temperatures to around 15–18°C during the final weeks of flower.
6. Harvest: Expect to chop around weeks 10–13 from seed. Check trichomes with a loupe — you're looking for milky white trichomes with some amber. Since this is a CBD strain, harvesting slightly earlier (mostly milky, minimal amber) preserves terpene freshness.
7. Drying and curing: Hang branches in a dark room at 18–20°C with 55–60% humidity for 7–10 days. Cure in glass jars for at least 2 weeks, burping daily. The berry flavour intensifies significantly with a proper 4-week cure.

One honest limitation: like most autos, she doesn't respond well to heavy-handed training techniques like topping or mainlining. If you top her, you lose time she can't recover — autos are on a fixed internal clock. Stick with LST or just let her grow naturally. She'll reward you either way.

CBD Auto Blackberry Kush vs Other CBD Autoflowers

If you're weighing up your CBD auto options, here's how she compares to two other popular choices we carry:

We'd pick CBD Auto Blackberry Kush if flavour and resin production are your priorities. If you want a faster turnaround and don't mind slightly lower CBD, CBD Auto Compassion Lime finishes a couple of weeks sooner. Charlotte's Angel is the one to pick if you prefer sativa-style growth and a piney terpene profile.

What You Can Do With 15% CBD Flower

A 15% CBD content with sub-1% THC opens up a lot of options. You can smoke or vaporise the dried flower for a fast-onset experience without any intoxicating effect — take a hit in the morning and carry on with your day, clear-headed. The heavy trichome coverage makes this strain particularly good for pressing rosin or making solvent-free CBD concentrates at home.

Research into CBD continues to expand. According to a phase II randomised clinical trial referenced in a 2018 review on medicinal herbs and neuropathic pain, cannabinoid-based preparations showed effects mediated through vanilloid receptors (TRPV1) (Medicinal herbs in the treatment of neuropathic pain, PMC5960749). While we can't make health claims about this specific strain, the 15% CBD content puts it squarely in the range that researchers find interesting.
