Big Candy

Big Candy is a evenly balanced hybrid (50% indica/50% sativa) strain with a character all of its own. This well-regarded bud boasts a THC level that ranges from 13-19% on average, with 0.7% CBD. Seeds come in feminized form, and demand from home growers has never really slowed.

The Big Candy high balances both sides of its lineage: a happy head buzz up front, and a soothing physical warmth that follows a few minutes behind. The handoff between head and body is seamless, making it easy to dose for either a productive afternoon or a slow evening. Because of these effects, Big Candy is often chosen for managing chronic stress, muscle tension and mild to moderate depression, especially by those who want relief without reaching for anything heavier.

Big Candy has a mouth-filling sweet flavor that lingers on the tongue long after the exhale, with an aroma to match that grows sharper as the buds are broken apart. The smoke is smooth on the inhale with a sweet finish that builds the longer the session runs. This bud has dense grape-shaped dense green nugs with rich blue-purple undertones, curly amber hairs and a sticky layer of golden-white trichomes.

For growers, Big Candy offers a manageable grow for anyone with a harvest or two behind them — expect plants flowering in a standard 9-10 weeks, at home indoors or outdoors. Given steady feeding and a little light training, it rewards the effort with heavy, resin-coated colas. Plants stretch to a medium height with strong side branching, equally at home in a tent or a garden bed. Its genetics run through the wider Big family — see Big Tuna and Big Wheels for close relatives worth comparing before you buy.
