How do you grow Old Candy?

Old Candy is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests usually ready by mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. The plants tend to be medium in height, reaching 3-5 feet indoors and 4-7 feet outdoors, making them manageable for most growing spaces. Yield is generally good, with indoor growers reporting 14-18 ounces per square meter and outdoor growers achieving 16-22 ounces per plant under optimal conditions.

The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments but prefers a controlled indoor setting where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed.
