Candyland

Candyland is a flower named for the Candyland strain, which both Leafly and AllBud describe as a cross of Granddaddy Purple and Platinum Cookies. Kandyland is another name Leafly gives it.

Granddaddy Purple crossed with Platinum Cookies

Leafly’s parent line reads Granddaddy Purple and Bay Platinum Cookies, though its genetics panel labels the second one simply Platinum Cookies. AllBud gives Granddaddy Purps (Granddaddy Purple) and Platinum Cookies. SPK is among the strains Leafly lists as bred from Candyland.

On Leafly it is a sativa. AllBud labels it a sativa-dominant hybrid with a 70/30 sativa-to-indica split. Our guide to sativa, indica and hybrid tags looks at what those labels really mean.

Leafly puts THC near 19% with 1% CBG, and its potency gauge sits above the Leafly average. AllBud gives a range of 18% to 24% THC, with 1% CBD and 1% CBN.

Camouflage buds with a sugary coat

Leafly describes compact, camouflage-coloured buds with golden hairs running through a thick, sugary coat of trichomes. AllBud’s write-up agrees on the camouflage pattern and adds gold flecks and a glittering trichome coat.

Honey, pine and pepper

Sweet, flowery and honey are the flavour tags on Leafly, and one of its reviewers adds cherry. Another reviewer describes a grape-and-pine candy smell with an earthy, peppery undertone in the taste, and a third reports a peppermint-like smell and taste.

AllBud tags berry, candy, fruity, honey, pine, sweet and vanilla flavours and earthy, herbal and pine aromas. Its write-up describes a pronounced sweet taste and scent, backed by earthy and spicy notes.

On terpenes, Leafly’s data has caryophyllene (pepper) dominant, with limonene and humulene next. For limonene, the second name on that list, see our limonene guide to the citrus terpene.
