Aroma:
The Candyland strain is known for its combination aroma that’s so mouth-watering. Known for its pleasant and unique aroma, the strain is a rich mixture of a few different types of aromas. The strain gives out a sweet-smelling, earthy, piney, and sometimes even a sort of pungent aroma.
Don’t get derailed by the word ‘pungent’ – it’s more like an additional smell that every marijuana strain has.
Flavor:
I often call the strain Candyland kush because of its famous sweet candy-like tastes, earning the strain its name. When you smoke it, you will taste more than the candy flavor on the strain. The moment you light it up, you will realize all the flavors that come to the forefront. You know that candy-like, fruity, berry-like flavors? Yes, those and more!
Imagine fruity but a little earthy. Candy-like but with a hint of freshness. Berry-like but piney at the same time. Sounds pretty tasty, right?
Appearance:
The Candyland strain is a relatively tall plant when it’s grown fully. The strain is famous for small, green, dense buds that can also turn nearly purple in some plants. While the flowering stage of the Candyland strain seeds goes on, the plant is often heavily frosted, and that too with trichomes.
By the time it’s time for harvesting, trichomes cover the plant entirely. It’s also characterized by thin, long pistils which are in dark orange shades – these are found to be growing prominently in and around all the leaves.
CandyLand Strain: An Utopic Paradise
While reviewing the Strain, I was in a constant state of happy high, and I would recommend this to all recreational users of marijuana eight out of ten times. The other two times, I won’t because the strain also tends to make users feel sleepy and sedated.
Moreover, the cultivators of the Candyland strain say that it’s not difficult to breed the strain, which is excellent considering how tasty it is. Since the strain can resist mildew and mold so well, humidity is hardly a matter of concern while growing the plant.
Although the Candyland cookies strain can be grown both indoors and outdoors, the plant thieves well outside in a climate that’s dry, warm, and sunny. Since the plant has a skinny frame, there is a lit of unnecessary pressure on the frame from growing buds. Thus, you need to give the plant additional support while it’s growing.
Did you know that Candyland strains grown in outdoors can give a yield of at least 35 ounces on average per plant? The number will change to 14 if the plant is grown indoors. Thus, the difference between growing the plant indoors and outdoors is evident from this information. Check out the column below for more information related to its ingredients!
| THC | 16.5% |
| CBD | 0.5% |
| Sativa | 70% |
| Indica | 30% |
Thus, the Candyland strain indica or Sativa should not even be a question since the strain includes 70% of Sativa and 30% of Indica according to the column below.
How To Grow?
This section is purely aimed at people who want to grow their own cannabis at their home or grow houses. But before you go down that road, do remember that there are laws that are in place that can restrict you from growing cannabis. And if you are found in violation of these laws, you can get persecuted quite harshly. So before you go down the road of being a grower, just look up the laws regarding cannabis in the state that you are living in.
Difficulty
With that out of the way, it is time that we understand the general process involved in growing the iconic Candyland strain. A strain that is known to produce a happy and mellow high but can knock off the boots if it feels like it. As per previous growers, the Candyland strain is just a sweetheart when it comes to growing. The strain is perfect for beginners as well as veteran growers.
Growing Conditions
If you are somebody who is starting to get into growing your own weed phase, you will be happy to know that this strain can grow indoors as well as outdoors. Therefore, it will provide you with that flexibility, which most other strains would not. But, if you do consider growing cannabis indoors, you need to have proper pieces of equipment as this is a strain that just needs a lot of sunlight and water. As per the temperature and humidity, the strain requires around 70–80 degrees Fahrenheit and a humidity of 50 to 70% as per the phenotype.
Yield
It will take approximately around eight to ten weeks to reach the flowering stage. Once the flowering stage is reached, you are looking at a yield of around 28 ounces per plant if outside and around 25 ounces if the cannabis is grown inside. So it is a rewarding strain when it comes to yield.
