To develop Delicious Candy, we crossed two of the best commercial genetics: Cheese, a unique female derived from SKUNK x KUSH which first appeared 1988-89 and which was cultivated somewhere in the Chiltern Hills by the squatter collective known as Exodus that was central to UK cannabis-related activity throughout the 90s. Its other parent is our own Caramelo, which is a spectacular selection of the best exotic LAVENDER Indica and Sativa phenotypes (SUPER SKUNK – BIG SKUNK KOREAN – AFGHANI-HAWAIIAN).
The result is an explosive strain on a number of different levels. The plants produce large branches with a large quantity of lateral shoots laden with buds. The calyx/leaf ratio is very good, making it very easy to manicure as well as keeping the buds better ventilated than other indicas with more foliage which means that it’s also more resistant to fungal diseases. The buds are covered in thousands of large glandular trichomes filled with a unique sweet cheese fragrance. The taste has an acrid backnote, like yeast or cheese, with hints of liquorice and caramel. Delicious Candy will transport you to an initial euphoric state without being too cerebral which, as the minutes pass, will become very relaxing and pleasurable. It’s very suitable for prolonged medicinal usage as its effect will enable you to get stuff done during the day although it might be a bit too narcotic for nighttime use or for states of relaxation.
Strain FAQ
Do terpene profiles affect mould resistance?
Mold-resistant strains have specific terpene profiles that help them resist mould. Terpenes with antifungal activity in particular can help prevent mould growth.
Can you describe Maui Wowie's impact on Hawaiian cannabis culture?
Hawaii's cannabis symbol, Maui Wowie, became famous in the 1960s and 70s for its sweet tropical taste and energising effects. Its popularity has highlighted additional Hawaiian strains and added unique tastes, fragrances, and effects to the global cannabis genepool.
How do early-finishing strains handle cooler temperatures and less light?
Due to genetics, these strains are said to be resistant to chilly air and less sunlight. They reportedly thrive and yield well even in poor growing conditions because of their resilience.
Can CBD-rich strains be sweet?
Due to similar terpenes, CBD-rich strains might taste sweet like THC-dominant strains. It is not just about the cannabinoid profile here!
Can 12/12 photoperiod hybrids flower faster?
Breeders have been working cross-breeding hybrids to meet the 12/12 light schedule and speed up flowering. These optimised hybrids can finish faster than other varieties without compromising yield or potency.
