Brain Candy
Brain Candy
Also known as: Very Berry, Sweet Tooth #3
Overview
Brain Candy is an evenly balanced hybrid cannabis strain (50% indica/50% sativa) that has gained significant attention in the cannabis community for its motivational and energizing effects. The strain was developed by Poppa Pain Strains through a deliberate crossing of Fire OG and Tangie Sunrise, though multiple genetic lineages exist under the same name. Fire OG contributes robust, earthy properties while Tangie Sunrise brings lively citrus tang and uplifting energy, resulting in a strain that successfully balances deep bodily relaxation with a creative, energized mind state. Some sources indicate the strain was formerly known as Very Berry, an extremely sweet, fruity phenotype that was later renamed and refined.
Brain Candy is renowned for its sophisticated and multifaceted appearance and aroma profile. The buds are dense and covered in a generous layer of trichomes that create a glistening, candy-coated surface appearance. The flowers display vibrant dark green coloration, almost appearing black, with striking orange-red pistils that create a truly eye-catching visual profile. The aromatic profile evokes anticipation with an initial burst of citrus and sweet candy notes, providing the strain its distinctive name. As the experience deepens, subtle layers of earth and pine emerge, contributing to a complex olfactory signature that has been compared to a tangy citrus orchard meeting a confectionery workshop.

Growing Information
Brain Candy is considered moderately easy to grow and adapts well to indoor, outdoor, and greenhouse cultivation environments. The strain has a flowering time between 7-10 weeks (49-70 days), with most sources indicating an average of 8-9 weeks. Plants typically reach medium to tall height and produce medium to heavy yields under optimal growing conditions. The strain requires controlled environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, and light cycles for maximum potency and yield. Growers often employ techniques like Sea of Green (SOG) or allow for multi-branching where each branch becomes a site for tight buds with minimal foliage. Support may be needed by weeks 3-4 as plants can elongate during flowering. The strain is known for stable genetics and consistent reproduction across generations.
