Candy Shop
Also known as: Candy Shop OG
Candy Shop Strain Overview
Candy Shop is a hybrid cannabis strain developed by Exotic Genetix that combines genetics from two popular strains to create a sweet, flavorful experience. The strain was created by crossing Candyland with Cookies and Cream, resulting in a plant that inherits desirable traits from both parent strains. First introduced in the mid-2010s, Candy Shop quickly gained popularity among cannabis enthusiasts for its unique flavor profile and balanced effects.
The strain typically produces medium to large-sized buds with a dense, chunky structure covered in a generous layer of trichomes. The coloration ranges from deep forest green to purple hues, often accented by vibrant orange pistils. The visual appeal is enhanced by the frosty coating of resin that gives the buds a sugary appearance, living up to the strain's name. The buds are known for their stickiness and distinct sweet aroma that becomes more pronounced when broken apart.
Candy Shop is recognized for its complex terpene profile that delivers a multi-layered sensory experience. The strain has become particularly popular in the recreational market for its enjoyable flavor and balanced effects that make it suitable for various occasions. While not as widely available as some mainstream strains, Candy Shop has developed a dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its unique characteristics and reliable performance.

Candy Shop Strain Growing Information
Candy Shop is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it better suited for growers with some experience. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor plants are usually ready for harvest in late September to early October. The strain prefers a warm, Mediterranean-like climate when grown outdoors.
Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The plants tend to grow to a medium height, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. Indoor growers should monitor humidity levels carefully, as the dense buds can be susceptible to mold in high humidity environments. The plants respond well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yields.
Candy Shop requires regular feeding with balanced nutrients and benefits from proper flushing before harvest to enhance flavor. The strain develops its best coloration when exposed to cooler temperatures during the final weeks of flowering. Growers should provide adequate support for the branches during the flowering phase, as the dense buds can become heavy.
