What is the Cotton Candy strain?
Cotton Candy is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 22.0% THC, known for its euphoric effects and berry and citrus flavor profile.
Cotton Candy is a hybrid cannabis strain developed by Spanish breeder Delicious Seeds through crossing Power Plant from South Africa with Lavender, which itself is a blend of Skunk strains and Afghan Hawaiian. The strain is indica-dominant with approximately 70% indica and 30% sativa genetics, though some sources report variations in this ratio. THC levels typically range from 15% to 22%, with CBD content generally below 1%. The strain produces dense, deep green buds with violet veins and burnt orange pistils, developing a distinctive metallic lavender appearance towards the end of flowering. True to its name, Cotton Candy exhibits a remarkably sweet aroma and flavor profile reminiscent of actual cotton candy, with berry-flavored notes and sugary sweetness. The strain was specifically bred for its enormous growth potential, high THC resin production, ease of cultivation, and resistance to fungi, pests, and stress, while maintaining excellent organoleptic features.
