Cotton Candy Kush is a Delicious Seeds hybrid bred from the floral indica Lavender and the towering South African sativa Power Plant. Delicious Seeds calls the original cultivar 75% sativa, while several marketplace sources note other cuts on the indica side. The genetics stay the same even when the shelf label flips.

The nose goes straight for the county-fair booth. Lavender and fresh-cut flowers lead, followed by berry candy, ripe grape, cherry, and enough earth and skunk underneath to keep the sweetness from floating away. Long, foxtail-shaped colas pick up metallic lavender color as they ripen, with orange pistils and a frosty trichome coat finishing the look.

Dispensary regulars describe an upbeat, euphoric start with enough energy for daytime use before a calmer gear takes over. Some save it for unwinding after a long day, while others find the lift stays functional enough to keep plans moving. That split in the experience helps explain why Cotton Candy Kush keeps bouncing between sativa and indica menus.

Delicious Seeds also sells Cotton Candy Kush Early Version, a separate fast-flowering release with ruderalis in its ancestry and a claimed THC level above 23%.

Cotton Candy Kush is an easy-going, resilient strain that's forgiving for less experienced growers. It reaches an average height with a stretchy hybrid frame, so it stays manageable indoors while performing well outdoors and in greenhouses. Flowering runs roughly 7–10 weeks, with Leafly listing 7–9 weeks and breeder Delicious Seeds listing 60–70 days, while faster phenotypes and the Early Version selection can wrap up nearer 45–50 days. Late in bloom, the long, foxtail-shaped buds take on a metallic lavender cast across the leaves. Yields run generous, reaching around 600 g/m² indoors per the breeder. Growers also credit it with strong natural resistance to mold and pests, which keeps it dependable across warm and temperate climates.
