Also known as: iCandy Kush
iCandy Strain Overview
iCandy is a hybrid cannabis strain developed by the breeder Exotic Genetix. It is a cross between the popular strains Gelato #33 and The Menthol, combining the dessert-like qualities of Gelato with the refreshing, minty notes of The Menthol. The strain first gained attention in the mid-2010s and has since become a favored choice among connoisseurs for its balanced effects and complex flavor profile. iCandy is known for its dense, resinous buds that exhibit a vibrant array of colors, including deep purples and bright greens, often accented by fiery orange pistils and a thick coating of trichomes.
The plant typically displays a compact, indica-dominant structure with broad leaves, making it suitable for indoor cultivation. Its aroma is a distinctive blend of sweet, fruity notes reminiscent of berries and candy, underscored by a creamy, minty undertone and a hint of earthiness. The flavor follows suit, offering a smooth, sweet smoke with lingering mint and berry aftertones. iCandy's effects are generally described as well-balanced, providing an initial cerebral uplift followed by a gentle, relaxing body sensation, which contributes to its popularity for both recreational and potential therapeutic use.
While iCandy is not as widely documented as some mainstream strains, it has developed a niche following due to its unique genetic lineage and appealing sensory characteristics. Growers and users often note its consistency in producing high-quality buds with reliable effects, though availability can vary by region. As with many hybrid strains, individual experiences may differ based on cultivation methods and phenotype expression.
