Growing Information
Candy Factory can be cultivated both indoors and outdoors with a flowering time of approximately 53 days (7.5 weeks). For outdoor cultivation, plants typically finish in mid to late September. The strain requires temperatures between 68°F and 77°F for optimal growth, with humidity maintained at 50-60% during vegetative stage and reduced to 40-50% during flowering. Indoor growers benefit from HID or LED lighting systems for uniform distribution. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and Low-Stress Training (LST), which can improve yields by 10-20%. Soil pH should be maintained between 6.0-6.5. Plants develop a robust structure during a 4-6 week vegetative stage. While not as resistant as some strains, it still performs outdoors in challenging New England conditions. Regular seeds only - feminized versions were never available.
