Stranger's Candy
Also known as: Stranger Candy
Stranger's Candy Strain Overview
Stranger's Candy is a modern hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing the popular strains Cherry Pie and Lemon Skunk. The strain emerged in the mid-2010s as breeders sought to combine the dessert-like qualities of Cherry Pie with the citrus-forward characteristics of Lemon Skunk. While its exact origin remains somewhat obscure within the cannabis breeding community, it has gained recognition through various seed banks and clone providers on the West Coast of the United States, particularly in California and Oregon.
The strain typically produces medium-sized plants with dense, resinous buds that display a striking visual appearance. The flowers often exhibit deep purple hues mixed with vibrant orange pistils, covered in a thick layer of frosty trichomes. The coloration becomes more pronounced when grown in cooler temperatures during the flowering phase. The buds are known for their tight, compact structure and sticky texture when properly cured.
Stranger's Candy is recognized for its complex aromatic profile that combines sweet, fruity notes with sharp citrus undertones. The name reflects its contradictory nature—offering both familiar candy-like sweetness and unexpected, 'strange' flavor combinations. The strain has gained popularity among connoisseurs for its balanced effects and unique terpene profile, though it remains less common than its parent strains in mainstream cannabis markets.

Stranger's Candy Strain Growing Information
Stranger's Candy is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready by mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments, though it prefers a Mediterranean-like climate when grown outdoors. Plants tend to reach medium height (3-5 feet indoors, 5-7 feet outdoors) and benefit from training techniques like topping or low-stress training to maximize yield. Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control during flowering to prevent mold in the dense buds and providing adequate nutrients during the vegetative stage.
