Candyland: A Candy-esque Sweetness

Candyland seeds grow into beautifully vibrant plants with long, light green almost fluorescent leaves. The buds of these plants protrude from underneath the leaves and have a faded green and orange look to them. Some might even see a slight tint of purple underneath the dusty tricombs. When harvested the nuggets are bright green like the leaves of this plant with amber hairs and coated with resin. Breaking these nuggets apart releases a sweet yet earthy scent that fills the room within seconds. Winner of a gold medal at the 2012 Kushcon in Denver, Colorado the Candyland strain is known far and wide with growers and users alike. The strain’s popularity continues to grow and is a shoe-in for future awards most likely in the Sativa division. An ideal strain for fist-time growers Candyland is easy to grow and maintain throughout the growing and harvesting process.

Growing Tips for Our Seeds

Candyland weed is highly resistant to common diseases and easy-going. That means if you’re looking to embark on your first gardening experience, this strain is a good choice. You won’t need to do much work to yield enormous results. Dialing in the growing conditions whether outdoors or indoors is key to the success of this grow. Specifically, this strain prefers a warm, dry setting with sunshine. Outdoor growers that live where there are changing climates should carve out a specific window with good weather to ensure you make it to harvest. The strain grows taller than it does laterally so make sure there is plenty of headroom in both indoor and outdoor grow setups.

Dial in Your Growing Conditions

• Indoor or Outdoor: Café Racer plants grow better indoors than they do outdoors. Outdoor grows require specific settings and a warm dry climate to really hit their stride. The ideal temperature for these plants is between 70-80 degrees fahrenheit. Starting your grow with an 18-20 hour light schedule will assist in vigorous vegetative growth. Once you hit the flowering stage you will want to change to a 12 hour on and 12 hour off light cycle.
•  Moisture control: Keep humidity levels between 40-60% during the vegetative stage. Lowering the humidity down to 40-50% during the flowering stage will help keep mold off of your buds.
• Training Techniques: Low-stress training and topping are the perfect techniques for Candyland as both techniques shape your plants correctly controlling the height and width. This will help light and air reach all levels of the plant for an even grow.

Dominant Terpenes in Candyland: Potent and Sweet

The Candyland terpene profile is directly responsible for how the plant smells, tastes and the strong effects it has on its users. The most dominant terpene in this strain is caryophyllene, while limonene and linalool are the secondary terpenes.

• Caryophyllene: Most Dominant – Found in hops, cloves and black pepper. Gives weed its spicy aroma and flavor.
• Limonene: Relaxing and Sedative Effects on User
• Linalool: A Secondary Terpene– Provides a floral and slightly calming effect on the user.

Dominant Cannabinoids in Candyland:

Cannabinoids play an important role in Candyland seeds and are generally a huge part of most cannabis strains. That relaxed, happy and uplifted feeling you get when using the Candyland strain is due to its dominant cannabinoids. Each cannabinoid does something different to the user.

• 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. Topping out at around 24%, the THC in the Sativa-dominant strain is responsible for the happy and relaxed feeling you get when using Candyland.
• CBD: Very Minimal Amounts – While the CBD levels in Candyland are less than 1% the cannabinoid is still present. CBD plays a smaller role in what the strain does to the user. CBD is non-psychoactive and can produce effects that help with anxiety, sleep and even stress. The CBD in the Candyland strain, even in its low amounts definitely has a positive effect on the user.
