Grape Candy Strain Overview
Grape Candy is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain (80% indica/20% sativa) created by I&I Genetics of Colorado through crossing White Lemon and Purple Pantera. This strain has gained recognition for its authentic grape candy flavor profile that truly lives up to its name, with users reporting that it literally tastes like grape candy confections. The strain displays multi-colored flowers featuring hues of purple and light green with bright orange pistils woven throughout, all covered in a generous coating of frosty white crystal trichomes that give it a candy-coated appearance. Multiple breeders have created their own versions of Grape Candy, including variations from Seeds of Compassion (Grape Ape x Purple Rhino), Growmaster Genetics (Sour Grape x Blueberry), and Diamond Rock Genetics (Jealousy x Purple Pie), though the I&I Genetics version remains the most widely documented and available. The strain has quickly garnered attention in the cannabis community due to its eye-catching visual appeal, distinct grape soda aromatics, and balanced effects that offer both euphoric uplift and deep relaxation.

Grape Candy Strain Growing Information
Grape Candy is considered moderately easy to grow and suitable for both novice and experienced cultivators. The strain thrives in both indoor and outdoor environments with a flowering time of 8-9 weeks (56-63 days from flip). Indoor plants typically reach heights of 3-5 feet and can yield 450-700 g/m² under optimized LED lighting. Outdoor plants can grow 5-7 feet tall and produce 1-3 pounds per plant in full sun with adequate root volume. The strain prefers controlled environments with temperatures of 68-77°F during the day with slight drops at night, and humidity levels of 50-70% in vegetation dropping to 45-55% during flowering. Plants respond well to training techniques like topping, LST, and SCROG methods. The dense, resinous buds require good airflow to prevent mold issues, especially in the final weeks of flowering.
