Pink Candy
Also known as: Pink Candy Kush, Pink Gummy
Overview
Pink Candy, also known as Pink Candy Kush, is a sativa-dominant hybrid strain created through crossing Stinky Pinky and Cotton Candy. The strain's genetic heritage has been subject to some debate, with some believing it's Pink Panther crossed with Candy Kush while others say it's Stinky Pinky crossed with Cotton Candy. Bred by New420guy Seeds, Pink Candy is recognized as a sativa-dominant cross that performs as an excellent afternoon pick-me-up.
When opening a bag of Pink Candy, you'll notice buds in various shades of pale greens with burnt orange pistils and purple hues, along with a thick layer of trichomes that further lighten its colors. Occasionally, the buds may have a slight pinkish appearance from a distance. The buds feature minty green spade-shaped nugs with dark orange hairs, purple undertones and a frosty thick coating of tiny pink-tinted crystal trichomes.
The strain gets its name from its sweet but tangy scent and flavor that is similar to grapefruit candy or pink lemonade, being both sweet and sour. Pink Candy is a modern hybrid celebrated for its confectionary sweetness, vibrant hues, and balanced head-to-body effects, with the name consistently signaling a candy-forward terpene bouquet and pink-tinted aesthetics.
