Also known as: California Green Candy
What is the Green Candy strain?
Green Candy is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 26.0% THC, known for its uplifted effects and berry and candy flavor profile.
Green Candy is a well-balanced hybrid cannabis strain that results from crossing Green Crack and Candy Kush. This strain is a cross between Green Crack and Candy Kush, creating a 50/50 hybrid strain that has gained popularity among both recreational and medical cannabis users. The strain presents impressively large flowers that hold an almost pyramidal shape, tapering from a broad base down to a pointed tip with a marked sativa structure, with the piecey leaves adhering together relatively loosely. Green Candy buds tend to be lime-to-emerald green with copper-orange pistils woven throughout, and the plant is typically bright green with hints of purple and orange pistils, adding to its visually appealing profile.
Despite its balanced genetics, its effects tend to lean more sativa, yet its indica genetics make this strain an overall soothing high. The strain is characterized by a distinctive taste and smell that is piney, sweet, and earthy, with a decidedly sweet and fruity odor that wafts up from the flowers when properly cured, undercut by some dank base notes, redolent of musk and damp earth. This strain's psychoactivity has been measured at between 15% and 24%, though typical lab-verified total THC ranging from 17–23% by dry weight, with exceptional cuts and dialed-in grows pushing 24–26%.
