What is the Purple Candy strain?
Purple Candy is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 22.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and candy flavor profile.
Purple Candy is an indica-dominant hybrid strain created by British Columbia-based breeders BC Bud Depot as a cross between BC Sweet Tooth and Mendocino Purps, though BC Bud Depot themselves denies this lineage claim. This strain contains 70% indica and 30% sativa genetics, resulting in THC levels ranging from 15% to 19%, with some sources reporting up to 22% THC. The strain exhibits large, multicolored flowers that tend to be thick and tapered formations resembling miniature pinecones, with compact indica-type structure. The leaves are dark forest green with patches of purple due to anthocyanin pigments passed on from parent strain Mendocino Purps, and are encrusted with cloudy white trichomes that make them very sticky.
When properly cured, Purple Candy's flowers burst with a sweet berry and grape aroma with woody base notes of pine, and grinding up the buds gives off pronounced musky and earthy odors. True to its name, the strain has a sugary, candy-like character with mouth-puckering fruit flavor on the exhale. Purple Candy's effects begin with happy sativa effects before settling into a full body buzz that may leave users lazy and ready for bed. Growing Purple Candy is relatively easy for most growers, suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation, with a flowering time of approximately 7 to 8 weeks and yields of 400 to 500 g/m² indoors.

How do you grow Purple Candy?
Growing Purple Candy is a relatively easy experience for most growers, suitable for beginners and experienced cultivators, adapting well to different cultivation techniques whether in pots or directly in the ground. This strain is moderately easy to grow, thriving in both indoor and outdoor environments with a flowering time of approximately 7 to 8 weeks. With proper care, this strain can offer a yield of 400 to 500 g/m² indoors. The bud can be successfully grown indoors or out, although outdoor cultivation requires a warm, semi-humid climate with temperatures between 70 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit, and plants tend to be short and bushy with strong lateral branching. Purple Candy flowers within 7 to 8 weeks when grown indoors and is ready for harvest in early October when grown outdoors. Its lateral branches are sturdy and can support the weight of dense buds, though supports may be helpful to prevent heavily laden branches from bending, and with basic nutrient management and good pruning for branch aeration, optimal results can be achieved with minimal difficulty.
