Candy Land Parade
Also known as: Candy Parade, Candy Land
Candy Land Parade Strain Overview
Candy Land Parade is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing the popular strains Candyland and Granddaddy Purple. The strain emerged in the early 2010s from California's competitive breeding scene, where breeders sought to combine Candyland's uplifting sativa characteristics with Granddaddy Purple's relaxing indica properties. While not as widely documented as its parent strains, Candy Land Parade has gained recognition among connoisseurs for its unique terpene profile and balanced effects.
The strain typically produces medium-sized, dense buds with a distinctive appearance featuring deep purple hues interwoven with vibrant orange pistils and a generous coating of frosty trichomes. The coloration is particularly pronounced in cooler growing conditions, where anthocyanin production is enhanced. The buds often exhibit a slightly conical structure with tight calyx formation, characteristic of its hybrid lineage.
Notable features include its complex aromatic profile that combines sweet, fruity notes with earthy undertones, and its balanced effects that make it suitable for both daytime and evening use. The strain's genetic stability varies between phenotypes, with some leaning more toward its sativa parent and others expressing stronger indica characteristics. While not among the most commercially widespread strains, Candy Land Parade maintains a dedicated following in certain regional markets and among home growers seeking a visually striking plant with versatile effects.

Candy Land Parade Strain Growing Information
Candy Land Parade is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plant typically flowers in 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation, though it thrives in controlled indoor environments where temperature can be managed to enhance coloration. Plants typically reach medium height (1.2-1.8 meters outdoors, 0.9-1.2 meters indoors) and benefit from training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield. Special considerations include maintaining consistent humidity levels during flowering to prevent mold in dense buds and providing adequate phosphorus during the flowering phase to support bud development. The strain responds well to organic nutrients and exhibits some resistance to common pests, though regular monitoring is recommended.
