Candy Crush

Candy Crush appears under multiple reported lineages. One commonly cited version is a cross of Lifesaver and Airheadz F2, while another has been reported as Cotton Candy Kush × Purple Crush. Despite the disputed genetics, both versions are associated with sweet, fruit-forward profiles and deeply relaxing effects. Not to be confused with Candy Kush (also known as Kandy Kush), the separate OG Kush × Trainwreck cultivar bred by DNA Genetics. Both versions emerged in the 2010s U.S. market. On the nose, expect ripe berry and citrus zest layered over earthy, herbal undertones — a fruity profile that carries through on the exhale with a slightly peppery finish.

Reviewers frequently describe this strain as euphoric and uplifting on the front end, settling into full-body relaxation that fans say can tip toward sleepiness as the session winds down. Those who try it often reach for it during low-key evenings or creative downtime. The buds are dense and compact with bright orange pistils, and some phenotypes show purple hues in cooler temperatures.
