Cotton Candy Kush: Sweet and Strong

Cotton Candy Kush plants grow up big and strong, while they aren’t the most dense plants they are pretty to look at and will give off a great aroma that should fill your grow room with a pleasant scent. The tall and narrow plants have a plethora of colors including deep purples, greens, and a touch of amber. The tricombs of this bountiful bud are heavily covered in dusty white resin that makes the plants uber-sticky. Once dried and clipped, the harvested buds look completely different. They turn bright green with flecks of orange deep within the bud. Still dusty, this is one of the stickier buds you will ever see. While the Cotton Candy Kush strain hasn’t won any awards to date, the parent strains and strains attached to this plant have won tons of popular awards among cannabis fans and growers. Speaking of growing, if you are looking for an excellent plant to step up your growing game, Cotton Candy Kush is ideal for intermediate growers with some experience under their belts.

• THC: The Main Character – THC is the most dominant cannabinoid on the molecular level of this strain. The crystalline compound tetrahydrocannabinol is the main ingredient of cannabis.
