Think of Candy Kush as a well-deserved treat after a long, exhausting day at work: it's sweet like a dessert and should come last. Its effects are certainly worth waiting for, and it'll soon put you in a state of relaxation and reverie.

A true California baby, this bud is a blend of two of the state's best cannabis classics, OG Kush and Trainwreck. It's an Indica heavy hybrid that shows off contrasting traits from each of its parents. You can expect a powerful mind and body experience from this delicious weed.

In terms of appearance, the plant looks a lot like a Sativa and it should be cultivated as such. It's tall and will need plenty of room to prosper. These feminized seeds from Homegrown Cannabis Co. make things easier, since they create a pretty much all-female crop, which means less time and effort is spent weeding out the males.

Growing Candy Kush from Feminized Seeds

Candy Kush is one of the most resinous strains out there, and it gets growers going crazy in anticipation of harvest. It's a delight to grow and it doesn't need much attention, so even beginners can try their hands at it.

Indoors, Candy Kush thrives especially well in a SCROG setup. It spends 9 to 10 weeks in the flowering period, after which you can expect a yield of 1.47 to 1.8 ounces per square foot.

This Sativa-looking plant loves the sun and matures beautifully in places with a warm climate. It's also possible to grow it in the northern hemisphere, but good timing is essential. Harvest time must fall around mid-October, and each plant will produce around 14 to 17.5 ounces of buds.

Fragrance and Flavor

Candy Kush is a feast for the senses. On inhale, its sweet scent pleases the nostrils with earthy and fruity undertones. There are also notes of berry, candy and citrus in its flavor.

Effects

Although it's hard-hitting, Candy Kush can be a creeper, so it's best to go easy even if it doesn't kick in right away. When it does finally take effect, it'll take over the mind first, before softening the body until it melts on the couch. If you're planning on lighting up this sugary treat, make sure your calendar is clear.

As opposed to the typical cerebral buzz, this ganja brings a trance-like psychedelic high. Images will appear more vivid, with colors and visuals seeming so real you'll feel as though you can touch them. At the same time, you'll feel profound happiness and relaxation.

As time progresses, the physical stone will increase, leading you towards the gates of slumber. Slowly, the hazy high will give way to a deep sleep.

Medical

Candy Kush has a lot to offer in terms of mental and physical effects, and this even extends to its potential medicinal benefits. It's been used to relieve symptoms of ADD, ADHD, depression, insomnia, PTSD and stress. For a couple of hours, patients may find themselves free of their mental baggage. The herb is a temporary fix as opposed to a cure, but the moment of comfort it provides may help people to get back on track.

People suffering with arthritis, chronic pain and migraines may find Candy Kush valuable too. Thanks to its anti-inflammatory properties, smoking it may alleviate minor aches and pains.

As beneficial as Candy Kush may be, it can also have some undesirable side effects. The most common of these are cottonmouth and dry eyes, which can usually be avoided by staying hydrated.

In rare cases, lightheadedness, anxiety and paranoia may also occur. Most of the time, users who encounter these are either beginners or have low THC tolerance. Keep the doses low and if the symptoms persist then switch to a lighter strain instead.
