Candy Kush is considered relatively easy to grow, making it suitable for both beginner and experienced cultivators. The strain typically reaches 60-70cm in height indoors and can grow up to 8 feet outdoors. Flowering time ranges from 7-10 weeks depending on the phenotype, with most varieties finishing around 8-9 weeks. Indoor yields average 400-500g/m², while outdoor plants can produce 450-500g per plant under optimal conditions. The strain thrives in warm, temperate climates with temperatures between 70-80°F (21-27°C) during the day. Humidity should be maintained at 40-50% during flowering to prevent mold.
