Candy Rain Weed Strain Information and Review

With its mid-to-high THC content, bursting flavors, and euphoric potency, the Candy Rain strain transforms the mundane into something spectacular. So strap on your coats because the forecast predicts Candy Rain with a high chance of being stoned!

Is Candy Rain indica or sativa? 

Candy Rain’s original breeder, Cookies Fam Genetics, formulated the Candy Rain strain from two renowned indica dominant cultivars. Growers linked to Candy Rain include the likes of Backpack Boyz and Resin Seeds. Candy Rain’s sativa-indica ratio may differ depending on the grower, but it’s always indica leaning. With a 15% to 22% THC level and up to 70% indica dominance, Candy Rain provides a balanced high with mild side effects.

Candy Rain genetics

So, what kind of strain is Candy Rain? When Cookies Fam Genetics and Sherbinksis collaborate, you know the results will be phenomenal. And that’s no truer than with  Sunset Sherbert strain, an indica-dominant blend of Girl Scout Cookies and Pink Panties. Sunset Sherbert is a parent to both Gelato and London Pound Cake, making it an integral part of the Candy Rain strain genetics.

Gelato (AKA Larry Bird) is a potent combination of Sunset sherbert and Thin Mint GSC. Its indica dominance is evident by its “creeper” high that slowly eases you into relaxation. With a high THC level and bold citrus flavors, it’s certainly hard to forget. 

London Pound Cake is a cross of Sunset Sherbert and an unknown indica strain. This Indica-dominant hybrid delivers intense cerebral highs without the overwhelming couchlock. But don’t let its sweetness fool you – its high THC content can be a bit much for beginners.

Candy Rain grow info

Although the Candy Rain strain is reasonably easy to grow, you should know about lighting, CO2, humidity, and nutrient management to grow indoors. It responds to various growing techniques, such as topping, low or high-stress training, and defoliation. You’ll also see positive results with the SoG and ScroG methods.

The plants are quite striking, with dense foliage of purple and green leaves. The purple continues to blend with the bright tones of the neon green buds, sprinkled with vibrant orange hairs and a dusting of resin crystals. Its scent can get quite pungent, so ensure adequate ventilation before starting. 

Candy Rain strain seeds are available for purchase, but finding some ultimately depends on your area and local supply. Not to worry, though – to add to its list of horticultural green flags, Candy Rain can also be grown from clones.

Growing Candy Rain outdoors

As expected from a Cookies strain, there is limited Candy Rain strain info on optimum growing requirements. But with a fair amount of cultivating knowledge, growing Candy Rain should be easy enough to handle. But you should keep our Grow Bible on hand, just in case.

Flowering time 

The Candy Rain weed strain has an average flowering time of 8 to 10 weeks indoors. Outdoors, you can expect a mid-October harvest. With a little patience and attentiveness, you’ll be enjoying your “harvest rain” in no time. 

How much does Candy Rain yield?

• Photoperiod plants: 16-64 ounces (450-1814 grams) outdoors and 8-24 ounces (227-680 grams) indoors.
• Autoflowering plants: 1.7-7 ounces (50-200g) outdoors and 1.7-4.2 ounces (50-120 grams) indoors.

Effects

So Candy Rain displays all the positive growing attributes, epic flavor, and dank scent. But will it get you high? Yes. Yes, it will. Remember that “euphoric potency” mentioned earlier in this Candy Rain strain review? That’s just the beginning.

You’ll feel increased happiness, creativity, and possibly even arousal. The euphoria is unmatched, and you’ll be giddy like a schoolgirl on her first date. The initial euphoria (and giggles) slowly winds down into a soothing calm without the heavy sedation that often comes with indica strains. Candy Rain is an excellent daytime strain or even a great wake-n-baker. 

With its mind-elevating and mood-boosting properties, the Candy Rain strain effects are great for easing symptoms associated with stress, depression, and anxiety. The strain can also improve your appetite and alleviate insomnia. As good as the Candy Rain strain can be, you may be subject to some unwanted side effects. The most common side effects include cotton mouth and thirst, dry and red eyes, munchies, and tingling. Overindulging can lead to anxiety and headaches. Remember to pace yourself, especially if you’re still a beginner.
