Colors by Cultivar: Candy Juice
Coming with another incredible, terp-filled cultivar, Colors by Cultivar brings us another treasure from their genetics cabinet: Candy Juice. This lady brings you a rich and complex terpene profile coupled with a mellow, day-winding high to help you relax and destress.
A Symphony of Vanilla, Graham Crackers, and Berry Sweetness
Close your eyes and think of a camp deep in the pine forest. Imagine the foliage, the lush green trees, and pointy berry bushes; smell the fertile air and take in its beauty for everything that it is. Now imagine the campfire you’re sitting around after a day of hiking, curled up next to a fire, making smores, but with huge globs of red berry jam.
Now you’ve got a better idea of what Candy Juice is.
This absolute keeper comes in two contrasting phenos: one leaning towards heavy, gassy OG notes and the other a candy-forward sweetness. Her robustness gives you a complex smell and taste. A varied sweetness with berries, dark fruity candy, and vanilla.
Best Enjoyed When the Sun Sets
Need to wind down after a long day? Something to ease tension and stress? Candy Juice delivers potency and makes a difference in your day. When you want to sit back on the couch, relax, watch the smoke curl in the air, kick your shoes off, and put your legs up, Candy Juice ushers you into the chilling hours. We recommend Candy Juice in the evening since it’s perfect for relaxing without putting you to sleep.
A Collaboratory Creation: How the Cookies Crumbled:
Jason of Colors By Cultivar tells us about the creation of Candy Juice as a blend of two of his favorites: Designer Runtz and Undertow.
Designer Runtz typically gives lime green hues, with the signature sweet, creamy candy side coming from its lineage, harnessing the potency and flavor of giants like Gelato and Zkittlez. When Jason paired it with the Undertow, the purple just exploded across its different phenotypes, giving it a bag appeal that just stops you in your tracks.
To create Undertow, Jason brought together Wet Betty from Exotic Genetix and Gushers from Cookies Fam, then crossed Gushers back into it to give it a dense, gassy yielder.
Berner (Cookies Fam’s co-founder) ended up seeing this pheno and was so impressed with Jason’s work that he immediately added Undertow to his lineup of genetics, giving Cookies a whole new profile to their top shelf.
Versatile and Thirsty: Keep it Juicy!
Candy Juice doesn’t like too much or too little water; she’s a lot like Goldilocks.
Candy Juice Feminized Seeds
Candy Juice is an indica-leaning hybrid that combines gassy and candy aromas to provide a potent, relaxing high, ideal for evening use to relieve stress without heavy sedation.
The thing that you should know about her is that you need to be mindful of her feeding. Knowing the hydration and dry-down cycles helps A LOT to set her up for healthy growth:
“…wait till you start to see the leaves start to droop in the first and then water; that's the most basic way I could tell you to make sure that things are getting the dry-down that they need to grow healthy. Especially in those first three weeks of veg growth.”
Jason doesn't recommend topping Candy Juice; He recommends scrogging to help the plant have an open and optimal canopy capable of producing the sweet, dense nugs.
