Candied Grapefruit
Candied Grapefruit is a modern hybrid strain born from the crossing of Blueberry Muffin and MAC and Cheese. There is no established record regarding its specific breeder or development history, and its origins exist as part of the broader, undocumented tapestry of modern cannabis hybridization. Designed for both indoor and outdoor cultivation, the plant reaches maturity after a 63-day flowering period and is categorized as a moderate-difficulty grow that rewards the cultivator with high yields.
The sensory profile of this cultivar is defined by its complex terpene composition, which is led by caryophyllene, followed by myrcene, humulene, limonene, bisabolol, beta-pinene, linalool, pinene, and caryophyllene-oxide. This diverse chemical makeup contributes to a nuanced aroma and flavor that reflects the interplay of these various compounds. The strain is THC-dominant, providing a potent phytochemical profile that influences both its aromatic intensity and the consistency of its chemical expression.
In terms of physiological impact, Candied Grapefruit is known to leave users feeling relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These primary effects make the strain a functional choice for those seeking relief from stress and pain, while its soothing properties are also frequently utilized as an aid for sleep. As a modern hybrid, it carries on the traits of its parentage, though no notable offspring have been recorded to date.

Russo 2011: only terpene that is a selective full CB2 agonist (100 nM); Gertsch et al. 2008: acts as dietary cannabinoid; unique anti-inflammatory and gastric cytoprotective properties.
Russo 2011: naloxone-sensitive analgesia, potentiates barbiturate sleep; dominant sedating terpenoid; blocks hepatic carcinogenesis by aflatoxin.
Effects
Reported effects — derived from terpene chemistry and cannabinoid profile.
