Candy has balanced effects.

Low THCHigh THC

Candy is lower THC than average.

Candy is a modern autoflowering variety derived from its sole parent, Dane's Fruity. Designed for accessibility, this strain is an easy-to-grow cultivar suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation environments. Despite its straightforward cultivation requirements, it is characterized by a low yield and finishes its flowering cycle in 67 days.

The terpene profile of Candy is complex and extensive, led by a dominant presence of caryophyllene followed by myrcene and limonene. The secondary and tertiary tiers consist of pinene, humulene, ocimene, nerolidol, and linalool, while the remainder of its chemical composition is rounded out by beta-pinene, guaiol, p-cymene, bisabolol, eucalyptol, camphene, and caryophyllene-oxide. This diverse combination dictates the olfactory and flavor nuances of the plant, anchored by the peppery warmth of caryophyllene and the earthy musk of myrcene.

As a THC-dominant strain, Candy is utilized primarily for its ability to induce feelings of relaxation, happiness, and an uplifted mood. These effects make it a consistent choice for addressing stress, pain, and sleep-related concerns. The genetic lineage of Candy has proven to be influential in breeding, as it is the direct parent of the notable offspring Caramellow and Jamaica - Indica.
