Candida
Also known as: Candida CD-1
What is the Candida strain?
Candida is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 1.0% THC, known for its focused effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.
Candida is a high-CBD, low-THC cannabis strain developed by Medical Marijuana Genetics (MMG) specifically for therapeutic applications. The strain was created through selective breeding to maximize cannabidiol (CBD) content while minimizing psychoactive tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) levels, making it particularly suitable for users seeking medicinal benefits without significant intoxication. Its name references the Latin word for "white" or "pure," reflecting its clear-headed effects and medical orientation.
Visually, Candida plants typically display dense, resinous buds with a mix of light and dark green hues, often accented by orange pistils and a generous coating of trichomes. The strain's aroma profile combines earthy, woody notes with subtle hints of citrus and pine, while the flavor experience tends toward herbal and slightly sweet undertones. As a predominantly sativa-leaning hybrid, Candida plants exhibit vigorous growth patterns with good resistance to common molds and pests.
Candida has gained recognition within medical cannabis communities for its consistent cannabinoid profile and predictable effects. Breeders have stabilized the genetics to maintain the high CBD-to-THC ratio across multiple generations, making it a reliable choice for both patients and cultivators. The strain's development represents a significant milestone in the targeted breeding of cannabis for specific therapeutic applications, particularly for conditions where CBD's non-intoxicating properties are desirable.

How do you grow Candida?
Candida is considered a moderately easy strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by early October outdoors. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant. Candida adapts well to both indoor and outdoor environments, preferring a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to reach medium height (1.2-1.8 meters) and benefit from training techniques like topping or SCROG to maximize light exposure. The strain shows good resistance to mold and pests but requires proper airflow in dense canopy areas. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with sensitivity to overfeeding during flowering.
