Purple Candy is a hybrid strain with 15% THC, created by crossing BC Sweet Tooth and Mendocino Purps. This indica-dominant hybrid showcases stunning large flowers with rich purple coloring and amber hairs, living up to its purple genetics heritage.
The strain produces densely frosted buds that leave a sticky residue, much like its namesake candy. Users can expect an initial happy, euphoric head high that gradually transitions into a full-body relaxation. The flavor profile features prominent grape, sweet, and berry notes, reminiscent of grape-flavored candy.
Purple Candy’s effects typically begin with a cerebral lift before settling into a deeply relaxing physical sensation that may lead to sleepiness. The potency and balanced effects make it particularly suitable for evening use.
Medical Uses of Purple Candy
Purple Candy has shown particular effectiveness in addressing insomnia and inflammation. The strain’s sedating properties make it especially valuable for patients seeking natural sleep aid solutions.
Users report significant relief from anxiety and stress, with the initial euphoric effects helping to calm racing thoughts. The strain’s ability to stimulate appetite makes it beneficial for those dealing with lack of appetite.
While therapeutic, users should note potential side effects including dry mouth, dry eyes, and occasional headaches. It’s recommended to stay hydrated and start with lower doses to assess individual tolerance.
Growing Information on Purple Candy
Limited growing information is available for Purple Candy. The strain’s genetic heritage suggests it may display purple coloration when exposed to cooler temperatures during the flowering phase, a characteristic inherited from its Mendocino Purps parent.
Prospective growers should expect indica-dominant growing patterns and may benefit from studying the growing requirements of its parent strains, BC Sweet Tooth and Mendocino Purps, for guidance.
