Cookies Candy Rain Description

Candy Rain delivers a euphoric and physically soothing high alongside moreish tastes of butter, lavender, sugar, and pear. The strain’s strong parentage makes her accessible to most growers, and a moderate THC content makes her a great strain for most times of the day.

History of the Candy Rain Cannabis Strain

Candy Rain stems from a breeding project conducted by Cookies Fam, one of the largest and most well-known cannabis companies in the world. Founded by rapper and business entrepreneur Berner and Californian breeder Jai, the seed bank set out with the goal of creating a hard-hitting and flavorful pool of genetics. Currently, the company has built up a library of 70 proprietary cultivars, alongside 2,000 other products. Among their strains, Candy Rain stands out as an exceptionally tasty variety. With a plan to create something scrumptious and euphoric at the start of the breeding project, Cookies Fam growers carefully selected parent genetics that would pass down sugary and fruity terpenes as well as euphoric and relaxing effects. Since its release, Candy Rain has gained serious traction, and many growers flocked to this strain after its win in the Indoor Flower category at the Oregon Grower’s Cup.

Genetic Lineage of Candy Rain

So, where exactly did Candy Rain inherit its scrumptious tastes and desirable effects from? Well, to kickstart the proceedings, Cookies Fam breeders elected to use Gelato as the first parent strain. Gelato itself was brought into the world by legendary breeder Mr Sherbinski, a master cultivator and geneticist credited with creating some of the best weed strains available, from Sunset Sherbet to Mochi. When it came to creating Gelato, he paired parent varieties Sunset Sherbet and Thin Mint GSC. The former passed down happy and giggly effects, rewarding yields, and sweet and tropical flavors, whereas the latter provided terrific trichome density and flavors of mint and sweetness. Overall, Gelato clocks in with a moderate THC content of 17%. This might seem low at first, but introduce the cultivar’s terpenes into the equation, and you have yourself a euphoric, happy, and slightly stoning high. Tastes of sugar, vanilla, and mint are the cherry on top!

The other half of Candy Rain’s genetics come from Lemon Pound Cake. This indica-dominant variety weighs in with slightly higher THC levels than the other parent, alongside a much different flavor profile. Another Cookies Fam creation, this cultivar stems from Sunset Sherbet and an unknown indica parent. Known chiefly for its stoning, relaxing, and tingly high, Lemon Pound Cake also treats users to unusual yet pleasant flavors of vanilla, butter, and lemon. A THC content of 20% ensures a fast-acting and long-lasting high ideal for the evening hours. Hardy genetics and good productivity make Lemon Pound Cake a go-to variety for both indoor and outdoor cultivation.

Physical Characteristics of Candy Rain

Candy Rain features a typical indica morphology throughout the entire growing cycle. Young plants remain stout and quickly develop a dense canopy composed of broad fan leaves with thick leaflets. Throughout veg, the strain develops an increasingly thick and sturdy stem that makes it suitable for outdoor climates prone to high winds. During the beginning of bloom, Candy Rain stretches slightly and sends up a large central cola when left untrained. Throughout the flowering stage, plants start to form dense colas that boast exceptional trichome density. When exposed to cooler nighttime temperatures towards the end of bloom, the buds take on a bright purple hue as anthocyanin pigment levels increase in response.

Properties and Effects of Candy Rain

Candy Rain possesses a respectable THC content of 20%. While not sky-high by modern standards, these buds contain enough of the psychoactive cannabinoid to get most users elevated without tipping them over the edge. Candy Rain hits that sweet spot that lands smokers in a haze of euphoria without rendering them bound to the couch. The strain is well-suited to mellow and quiet evenings above all else, especially when you’re in the mood to pursue creative projects, read, or simply do nothing but enjoy the effects. With that said, users who prefer to smoke in the daytime can still enjoy a mellow high when used in moderation.

Alongside THC, a medley of other phytochemicals impact the effects of this cultivar. High levels of the terpene caryophyllene add a soothing and physical stoning element, whereas large concentrations of limonene counterbalance this effect and slightly stimulate the mind. These aromatic constituents also contribute to flavors of butter, lavender, sugar, and pear. In concert, this results in a sweet yet savory taste that is neither too cloying nor aggressive.

Uses of Candy Rain

Above all else, Candy Rain comes in useful when looking to bliss out. Smoke up a blunt, bowl, or joint packed with these flowers when you're feeling overwhelmed and need a break from your worries. Light some candles, put on some soothing music, spark up, and drift off into bouts of euphoria. Relaxation aside, Candy Rain also helps some users tap into their creative side. The effects of this strain allow smokers to effortlessly enter a flow state that’s perfect for writing, painting, or making music.

Based on user reviews, Candy Rain is a good strain for:

• Creative activities

• Meditation

• Leisurely walks

• Watching movies

• Post-workout

In addition to the common side effects of THC, such as dry mouth and red eyes, Candy Rain can cause the following effects when used in excess or by novices:

• Dizziness

• Headaches

• Paranoia/anxiety

Cultivation of Candy Rain

With hardy genetics and a compact size, Candy Rain grows well in a range of indoor and outdoor settings. Indoors, plants respond well to LST and ScrOG training techniques. Both of these methods keep plants as low to the ground as 50cm while simultaneously enhancing productivity. Topping and main-lining also work well to produce an even and aerated canopy filled with uniform buds. Aim to keep plants in veg for around six weeks to allow them to form adequate bud sites before making the switch to flower. Prepare to harvest a rewarding yield following a flowering time of 7–8 weeks.

Outdoors, Candy Rain does best in full sun. Consider using drip irrigation if growing in a warm climate, and aim to keep plants under cover in a humid environment to minimize the chances of moldy colas during late bloom. Applications of beneficial microbes in the form of compost tea help to keep plants disease-free during the growing cycle. Moreover, frequent feeds with liquid seaweed, fish emulsion, and worm tea will keep both your plants and soil thriving. Prepare to harvest a big yield during October.
