Candy Gas
Also known as: Gas Candy
Candy Gas Strain Overview
Candy Gas is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain that represents the modern trend of combining sweet dessert genetics with classic gassy flavors. There is some dispute over the origins of this strain, with most sources claiming Candy Gas is a combination of Kandy Kush and OG #18 genetics, created by Crockett Family Farms. Other sources say the strain is a cross of Bacio Gelato and Runtz strains, created by Grounded Genetics. The Candy Gas strain is a hybrid of Gelato 41 and Runtz, masterfully crafted by the breeders at Grounded Genetics. For the breeding of Candy Gas, "Grounded" took the "Bacio Gelato" clone (Gelato 41 line), which incidentally is one of the most popular Gelato Cuts on the market, and reversed it, thus obtaining male pollen from a female plant. He then used the "Bacio Gelato" pollen to hybridize the Runtz Cut to create Candy Gas. This strain produces many exceptional phenotypes with wonderfully resinous flowers and combines the power of "Bacio Gelato", with the fine terpene profile of Runtz - an incomparable blend.
This strain exemplifies the contemporary cannabis breeding movement that merges classic "gas" aromatics with sweet candy-like flavors. By the early 2020s, breeders increasingly hybridized these two genres, aiming for a "sweet plus octane" signature. Candy Gas emerged from this movement as a style descriptor and a cultivar name, reflecting the palate of a generation raised on both OGs and dessert strains. One of the first things that sets Candy Gas apart is its fantastic bag appeal. The buds are very dense and blanketed in a thick layer of resin glands, giving them a frosty look. The coloration of Candy Gas weed is a mesmerizing blend of deep purple, vibrant emerald, and fiery orange, making it a feast for the eyes. The dense buds of this strain are deep violet, covered in thin amber pistils and glistening white trichomes.
