Garlic Candy
Also known as: Candied Garlic
Garlic Candy Strain Overview
Garlic Candy is a modern hybrid cannabis cultivar that represents the intersection of the savory 'garlic gas' trend with confectionary sweetness popularized by strains like Zkittlez and Runtz. True to its name, it layers a distinct garlicky funk over bright, sugary fruit notes, creating a sensory profile that stands out even in crowded connoisseur lineups. The strain is created by breeder Astrul and is a cross between GMO Cookies and Purple Sweets F2. While some markets list it as a limited-run or breeder-specific cross, dispensaries and growers commonly group Garlic Candy among GMO-derived 'garlic' strains with a candy-forward co-parent. The strain has gained recognition for its unique aromatic profile that combines the pungent, umami-forward characteristics of garlic-lineage cannabis with the bright sweetness that has dominated contemporary cannabis markets. It is a high-potency cultivar, with most batches testing in the 20–28% THC range by weight, with CBD rarely exceeding 1%. Users report that the strain delivers a high-potency, evening-leaning hybrid that emphasizes body relaxation without completely sacrificing a clean, uplifted mental buzz.

Garlic Candy Strain Growing Information
Garlic Candy can be cultivated indoors, outdoors, and in greenhouse environments with a flowering time of approximately 63 days (9 weeks). The strain exhibits moderate difficulty for cultivation, producing dense, resinous buds with high calyx-to-leaf ratio. Indoor yields typically range from 450-750 g/m² under optimized conditions, while outdoor plants can produce 0.5-1.5 kg per plant in full sun with proper care. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and LST, with a moderate stretch of 1.5-2x after flip to flowering. Environmental requirements include temperatures of 24-28°C during vegetation and 21-24°C during flowering, with humidity controlled at 40-45% late in flower to prevent mold. The strain requires good airflow due to dense bud structure and benefits from integrated pest management practices.
