Black Kandy Kush
Also known as: Black Candy Kush
Black Kandy Kush Strain Overview
Black Kandy Kush is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that combines the genetics of Black Domina and Kandy Kush. This strain was developed to create a potent, visually striking variety with a complex flavor profile. While its exact breeding history is not extensively documented, it appears to have emerged from boutique breeding projects in the early 2010s, likely within the North American cannabis community. The strain is known for its dark coloration, which can range from deep purple to nearly black, particularly in cooler growing conditions.
The strain's appearance is one of its most distinctive features. Black Kandy Kush typically develops dense, resinous buds with dark purple to black hues contrasted by vibrant orange pistils and a heavy coating of frosty trichomes. The coloration is most pronounced when plants experience temperature drops during the flowering phase. The buds often have a compact, indica-dominant structure with a sticky texture that makes them challenging to break apart by hand.
Black Kandy Kush is recognized for its complex aromatic profile that combines sweet, fruity notes with earthy, kush undertones. The flavor experience typically begins with sweet candy-like notes followed by deeper, hash-like flavors on the exhale. This strain is considered moderately difficult to cultivate due to its sensitivity to environmental conditions, particularly temperature fluctuations that affect its signature coloration. While not as widely available as some mainstream kush varieties, it has developed a following among connoisseurs who appreciate its visual appeal and potent effects.

Black Kandy Kush Strain Growing Information
Black Kandy Kush is considered moderately difficult to cultivate, making it better suited for experienced growers. The strain has a flowering time of approximately 8-9 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor plants are typically ready for harvest in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are moderate, averaging 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The plant prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also be grown outdoors in Mediterranean or similar climates. Indoor plants typically reach heights of 90-120 cm, while outdoor plants can grow taller, up to 150-180 cm. Special considerations include maintaining cooler nighttime temperatures (around 15-18°C/59-64°F) during the flowering phase to encourage the development of the strain's signature dark purple to black coloration. The plants are sensitive to overwatering and require good air circulation to prevent mold, particularly in the dense buds. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with some growers reporting sensitivity to nitrogen during the flowering phase.
