Terpene Chemistry and Flavors
What can smokers expect from a cannabis strain with a name like Kandy Kush? The top-related aromas you can detect when smelling dried flowers are sweet floral and citrus. These scents are brought by dominant terpenes – camphene and myrcene. As typical for its Kush genetics, the Kandy Kush weed strain also emanates an earthy odor since it is rich in caryophyllene. The cultivar tastes similarly, and its flavor is equally tempting.
Common Effects and Medicinal Benefits
The high provided by the strain creeps up on smokers with euphoric feelings that improve their mood and leave them relaxed and happy. As the high progresses, the euphoria is followed by sedation and even sleepiness. As heavy and lazy high spreads throughout the body, it soothes and reduces muscle tension. The Kandy Kush strain has proven effective in relieving symptoms of:
- Stress
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Chronic pain
- Mood disorders
- Insomnia
Medicinally, the weed cultivar has lots to offer for patients suffering from eating disorders by stimulating their appetite.
The biggest concerns that low-tolerance stoners may experience are:
- Thirst and dry mouth
- Dry eyes
- Dizziness
Kandy Kush Strain Cultivation Tips
Home growers are recommended to have some experience in cannabis cultivation if they want to try their hand at Kandy Kush themselves. The plants take 55-69 days to fully mature and 74 days to harvest. They can become tall plants of up to 60-80 inches that provide decent yields, resulting in 1-2 oz./ft2 indoors and 15-20 oz./plant outdoors. The buds have popcorn-shaped nugs that give off a sweet lemon aroma. Multiple seed banks and shops offer the strain’s seeds for sale.

Has a calming feeling that clears the head and makes you feel so relaxed. With this mj stress has no place in my life, makes me happy and full of positive thinking. Though I feel tingly sometimes I still think its a great strain.
I love this Kush for the following reasons, the high is not severe but creeps in giving you time to prepare for the full blast. I find it so effective with easing anxiety a condition have been trying to get rid off for quite sometime. It is also very relaxing and euphoric.
perfect weed strain to relax and get merry. The high will hit you slowly leaving a nice sensation throughout your body. I havent experienced any headache or paranoia but gave me a huge appetite. I actually loved it.
when I enquired this joint with my dealer he promised me heaven but I got hell. The only thing he got right was the taste and smell. Had severe paranoia and I didn’t sleep at all night. I don’t know what the problem could be but am not trying that shit again.
The taste is something everyone notices with this MMJ as its so sweet. The high delivers a relaxing feeling and happiness along. Its great for evening use has it has couch lock effect. People suffering from insomnia also can have a good night sleep with this strain.
I loved this strain, did not cause anxiousness or headache after use. Thumbs up!
Made me feel lazier than I was already. No motivation at all!
The taste and smell are awesome, but the high is moderate. I love it though!
I found this pot not very potent, didn’t hit the target!
Helps with mood swing changes.
It has a way of getting me so high and funny!
made me feel tingly!
Perfect weed for a good night sleep.
so relaxing and uplifting
Delicious candy like flavor.
