Blast Candy
Also known as: Blast Candy OG
Blast Candy Strain Overview
Blast Candy is a modern hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing the popular strains Candyland and Blast Off. The strain emerged in the early 2010s from California's competitive cannabis breeding scene, where breeders sought to combine Candyland's sweet flavor profile with Blast Off's potent effects. While its exact origins remain somewhat obscure due to the proprietary nature of many modern breeding programs, Blast Candy has gained recognition among connoisseurs for its balanced effects and distinctive terpene profile.
The strain typically produces medium-sized, dense buds with a conical structure, featuring vibrant green coloration accented by occasional purple hues and a generous coating of amber trichomes. The pistils are often orange or rust-colored, creating a visually striking contrast. Blast Candy's leaves tend to be broad with serrated edges, characteristic of its indica-dominant heritage. The buds are known for their sticky resin production and emit a complex aroma that combines sweet, fruity notes with underlying earthy and diesel undertones.
Notable features include its relatively fast flowering time compared to many modern hybrids and its adaptability to various growing environments. The strain has gained particular popularity in the West Coast cannabis market, where it has been featured in several cannabis competitions and has developed a dedicated following among users seeking a balanced daytime experience. Breeders have continued to refine the genetics, resulting in several phenotype variations that may exhibit slightly different characteristics depending on the specific cultivation conditions and phenotype expression.

Blast Candy Strain Growing Information
Blast Candy is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The strain has a flowering time of approximately 8-9 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests typically ready in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation but thrives in controlled indoor environments where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants typically reach a medium height of 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining good air circulation to prevent mold due to the dense bud structure and implementing proper nutrient management as the plants can be sensitive to overfeeding during the flowering stage. Training techniques like topping and low-stress training can help maximize yields and light penetration.
