How to grow Mexican Candy
Taste
Seb's take
Pure Mexican genetics behind a plant that reaches three metres given an early start or a greenhouse, and makes no apology for the height. Emerald buds with bright orange hairs and a thick trichome coat announce themselves well before harvest. A 50/50 hybrid that grows and yields like a sativa despite the billing, ready in ten weeks.
Where it comes from
Pure Mexican genetics behind a plant that makes no apology for its height — Super Strains Seeds built this 50/50 hybrid on landrace stock and let it run. She struts, in the record's own phrasing, with long pointy leaves that leave no doubt she can hold her own. A straightforward heritage, and a plant proud of it.
Nose & flavour
The record does not detail the nose, so I will not put one there. What it dwells on instead is the look — eye-catching emerald buds extruding bright orange hairs, dressed in a rich coat of crystal trichomes. A striking plant to behold, whatever it keeps to itself about the aroma.
The high
No effect notes are logged, so I will read from the build rather than invent the feeling: a balanced 50/50 hybrid, which points to an even experience drawing on both halves rather than leaning hard either way. I will not claim more than the record allows. Expect the middle path the split suggests, and take her measure firsthand.
Growing it
A tall one. She reaches three metres easily given an early-summer start or a greenhouse, standing 180 to 300cm, and despite the 50/50 billing she grows and yields rapidly, much like a sativa. Flowering runs a reasonable 65 to 70 days for the stretch, with generous yields of 500 g/m². THC is recorded at 22 percent, with two percent CBD. Give her the headroom she demands and she produces buckets of flower for it.
