What is the Plum Candy strain?
Plum Candy is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and earthy flavor profile.
Plum Candy is a hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity for its distinctive fruity aroma and balanced effects. The strain's exact origins are somewhat uncertain, but it is believed to have been developed by crossing Plum OG with an unknown candy-flavored strain, possibly related to the Candyland lineage. Breeders aimed to create a variety that combined the relaxing properties of indica genetics with the uplifting cerebral effects of sativa, resulting in a well-rounded hybrid suitable for various occasions.
The strain is characterized by dense, medium-sized buds that display a striking appearance with deep purple hues interwoven with vibrant orange pistils and a generous coating of frosty trichomes. The purple coloration is particularly pronounced in cooler growing conditions, where anthocyanin pigments become more prominent. Plum Candy's aroma is its most notable feature, emitting a sweet, fruity scent reminiscent of ripe plums with undertones of berries and candy, complemented by earthy and floral notes upon closer inspection.
Plum Candy has become a favorite among connoisseurs who appreciate flavorful strains with moderate potency. While not as widely documented as some mainstream varieties, it has developed a dedicated following in certain cannabis communities, particularly in regions where fruity, dessert-like strains are popular. The strain's balanced effects make it suitable for both daytime and evening use, depending on individual tolerance and consumption amount.

How do you grow Plum Candy?
Plum Candy is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it better suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready around mid to late October in the Northern Hemisphere. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in warm, Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to remain medium in height, usually reaching 3-4 feet indoors and 5-6 feet outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining stable temperatures (70-80°F during day, 60-70°F at night) and moderate humidity levels (40-50% during flowering) to prevent mold and maximize terpene production. The purple coloration is enhanced by exposing plants to cooler nighttime temperatures (10-15°F drop) during the final 2-3 weeks of flowering.
