Appearance

Aroma and Flavor
The aroma of Kandy Kush is often characterized by a prominent sweet, candy-like scent with distinct citrus notes, underpinned by earthy and kush undertones. Flavors reported include candy, citrus, grapefruit, and diesel, complemented by earthy and herbal nuances. This complex bouquet is largely attributed to its limonene-dominant terpene profile.

Origins and Lineage
Bred by Reserva Privada, a collective associated with DNA Genetics, Kandy Kush is a cross between OG Kush and Trainwreck.

Growing
