Candy Krush strain guide
Candy Krush is a sweet, fruity hybrid with disputed genetics: one listing gives it OG Kush and Trainwreck as parents, while others give a candy cross called Lifesaver and Airheadz. People describe a sugary smell and a happy, relaxed feel. It is not the same listing as Candy Kush.
Where does Candy Krush come from?
This one is not well documented. One listing on one strain database for Candy Krush gives OG Kush crossed with Trainwreck. A separate one strain database's listing for Kandy Krush, which it says is also called Candy Crush, gives Lifesaver crossed with an Airheadz F2 instead, and dispensary menus repeat that second story.
No breeder has been named in the sources we found, and some producers say they keep the genetics private. Since the two accounts disagree, we don't list one set of parents. The spelling matters too: Candy Krush, Kandy Krush and Candy Crush are used loosely across listings.
What does Candy Krush smell and taste like?
Both listings point to sweet and candy-like. The Candy Krush page adds fruity, flowery and peppery notes with a little skunk and earth, while the Kandy Krush page leans toward berry and sugary candy.
We found no published terpene results for it, so we don't list any. If a label shows terpenes, that is the better guide to how your batch will smell.
Candy Krush effects: what people report
Reports are mostly happy, euphoric and relaxed, with an uplifting start. The Kandy Krush listing also mentions a body feel that some people find sleepy.
These are experiences people report, not promises. How it feels depends on the product, how much you have and your own tolerance.
How strong is Candy Krush?
Listings give very different ranges. One shows about 20% to 31% THC, the other 15% to 23%, and dispensary menus quote 15% to 31%. That is too wide to say what a typical batch is.
Go by the label on your own package. Our guide to reading cannabis labels shows where to find the THC and CBD numbers.
Buying Candy Krush in Canada
Because the name is spelled several ways and attached to different genetics, check the cultivar details and the producer's description before you buy. A product called Candy Krush may not match the next one.
Look at the THC and CBD numbers and the packaging date on the label.
Candy Krush vs Candy Kush
Candy Kush is the strain people most often mix it up with, and one Candy Krush listing even gives the same OG Kush and Trainwreck parents. Where the two differ is in the other accounts: Kandy Krush is listed as a Lifesaver and Airheadz cross that is more indica leaning and berry sweet, while Candy Kush reads as lemony and earthy with a higher top-end THC. If you want the better-documented one, Candy Kush is the safer pick. If a product says Candy Krush, read its description to see which story it follows.
