Candy Drop
Candy Drop Strain Overview
Candy Drop is an indica-dominant hybrid strain (70-75% indica/25-30% sativa) developed by the renowned Gage Green Genetics in the early 2010s. This strain emerged during a period when breeders were exploring innovative ways to combine pleasant flavor profiles with potent therapeutic effects, representing a significant advancement in cannabis breeding for both medicinal and recreational applications. The strain was created through careful selective breeding that emphasized high resin production, potency, and a refined terpene profile that would appeal to discerning cannabis connoisseurs.
Candy Drop exhibits the characteristic dense, compact buds typical of indica-dominant varieties, with dark forest green nugs adorned with long thin amber hairs and a coating of frosty, blue-tinted white crystal trichomes that give it an almost crystalline appearance. The strain's name derives from its distinctive sweet and sour fruity candy flavors, which blend harmoniously with citrusy fuel and chemical undertones inherited from its Chemdawg lineage. This complex flavor profile, combined with its impressive resin production and potency levels, has established Candy Drop as a top-tier strain among both cultivators and consumers seeking a balanced yet potent cannabis experience.

Candy Drop Strain Growing Information
Candy Drop is considered a moderately challenging strain to cultivate, requiring some experience due to its dense, bushy growth pattern. The strain has a flowering time of approximately 60 days (8-9 weeks) and can be successfully grown indoors, outdoors, or in greenhouse environments. Indoor cultivation yields can reach up to 500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions with proper training techniques. The strain responds well to Screen of Green (SCROG) methods and requires controlled temperature (68-80°F) and humidity (40-50%) during flowering. Outdoor cultivation is best suited for Mediterranean-like climates, with harvest typically occurring between late September and early November in the Northern Hemisphere. The plants benefit from organic soil rich in nutrients and proper pruning to develop a robust canopy with numerous bud sites for maximum resin production.
