Early Candy
Also known as: Early Candy Auto, Early Candy Fast Version
Early Candy Strain Overview
Early Candy is a hybrid cannabis strain developed by Spanish seed bank Sweet Seeds, known for their work with fast-flowering and autoflowering genetics. The strain was created by crossing Early Skunk with a selected phenotype of Sweet Skunk Auto, resulting in a plant that combines robust growth characteristics with a relatively short flowering period. This breeding project aimed to produce a strain suitable for growers in cooler climates or those seeking quicker harvest cycles while maintaining desirable effects and flavors.
Visually, Early Candy plants typically display a compact structure with dense, resinous buds that exhibit a range of colors from deep green to purple hues, often accentuated by vibrant orange pistils. The strain's name reflects both its relatively early maturation time and its sweet, candy-like aroma profile. The buds are usually covered in a generous layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance that indicates their potency. Growers appreciate this strain for its resilience and adaptability to various growing conditions.
Early Candy has gained popularity among both recreational users and medical cannabis patients in regions where it is legally available. The strain represents a successful example of modern cannabis breeding that prioritizes both practical growing characteristics and consumer-oriented traits like flavor and effect profile. While not as historically significant as some classic landrace strains, Early Candy demonstrates how targeted breeding can create varieties that meet specific cultivation and consumption needs.

Early Candy Strain Growing Information
Early Candy is considered a moderately easy strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The photoperiod version typically flowers in 7-8 weeks indoors, while the autoflowering variant completes its entire life cycle in approximately 9-10 weeks from seed. Outdoor plants are usually ready for harvest by late September in northern hemisphere climates. The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments, with indoor yields averaging 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can produce 500-700 grams per plant in favorable climates. Plants typically reach a medium height of 100-140 cm indoors and 150-180 cm outdoors. Early Candy responds well to training techniques like LST (Low Stress Training) and SCROG (Screen of Green) to maximize yields. The strain shows good resistance to common molds and pests, making it suitable for humid climates. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with some growers reporting sensitivity to overfeeding during the flowering phase.
