Also known as: CD-1, Candida CD-1
What is the Candida (CD-1) strain?
Candida (CD-1) is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 1.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.
Candida (CD-1) is a groundbreaking high-CBD cannabis strain developed by Medical Marijuana Genetics in Europe in 2015. Named after the founder's late mother, the name means 'bright light' in Latin. This strain represents one of the first consistently CBD-dominant varieties to achieve a 20:1 CBD to THC ratio, making it one of the most significant medical cannabis breakthroughs in Europe. The strain was developed specifically for medicinal use following the founders' experience treating pancreatic cancer symptoms with cannabis oil. Candida produces two distinct phenotypes - a sativa-leaning phenotype that tends to have higher CBD concentrations but lower yields, and an indica-leaning phenotype that produces denser, heavier yields with slightly lower but still substantial CBD content. The sativa phenotype is particularly well-suited for extractions and concentrates, while the indica phenotype is suitable for all consumption methods. Laboratory testing consistently shows CBD levels between 10.9% and 20.6% with THC never exceeding 1%, resulting in non-psychoactive effects that provide medicinal benefits without the traditional cannabis 'high'. The strain has won multiple awards, including 2nd place at the Spannabis Cannabis Champions Cup 2017 in the CBD Flowers category.
