How to grow Candyland
Taste
Seb's take
Bay Platinum Cookies crossed with Ken's Grand Daddy Purple gives deep-purple, frosted buds with real bag appeal. Sweet, earthy and pungent with a piney, tropical edge; the high is powerful but oddly companionable, happy and energetic enough for daytime use once you've found your feet. A dispensary favourite for good reason.
Where it comes from
Grand Daddy Purp, the house that keeps Ken's Grand Daddy Purple, crossed that GDP with Bay Platinum Cookies for this seventy-five percent sativa. The Grandaddy hands over the deep purple and the frost; the Platinum Cookies lend the sweetness and the bag appeal. It became a genuine hit in the dispensaries of the legal states, and the pedigree explains why: two celebrated names, kept in careful hands.
Nose & flavour
Sweet and pungent with an earthy base, a piney sharpness and a tropical edge over the top, busy, and led by that unmistakable purple aroma the breeder is rightly proud of. The buds are frosted and deep-purple, with the kind of appeal that sells itself across a counter.
The high
Powerful, but oddly companionable with it, happy, uplifted, relaxed, euphoric and energetic, and adaptable enough to serve as a daytime companion once you have found your feet. At 14 to 19 percent THC it lifts more than it flattens, the sativa dominance steering things upward. Sociable, versatile company.
Growing it
Flowering in 56 to 63 days for a remarkable 800 g/m², a heavy return by any standard, at 14 to 19 percent THC. She grows thin-branched and strikingly compact; the record lists just 15cm, so plan for a low, wide habit rather than a towering one. The many slender branches carry those frosted purple buds well. A productive, handsome plant that rewards a grower who supports the structure and lets the colour come through.
