Time to do a final report/summary of the Candy Store strain.......since I am not smoking these days, I'm having to rely on others for reports and opinions, but these are all seasoned smokers and can be trusted to give an honest and fair review.
So, my 3rd LED grow under the Gavita's. 5 week veg, 9 weeks or a little more in flowering. 96 oz total, a slight decline overall in weight from the previous 2 grows, but I attribute that to the strain and possibly the UV-B lighting. I was able to coax a bit more height from some of the plants this grow, by raising the LED's more in later veg. Massive was used at a 25% rate for the second half of flowering. But still, an easy grow with no issues to speak of, it's the 3rd strain I've done that had the Ethos "Cookies" in it, which I apparantly like.
People are reporting the strain shines in it's 50/50 indica/sativa buzz, as it doesn't lean to far in either direction and has a very nice balance to it. I can go thru and easily pick out which buds lean to the Cookies side, and the others which lean too the Lemon Berry OG side. Everyone has mentioned how smooth and sweet the smoke tastes and burns and is perfect for joints, bongs, pipes or whatever. The smoke can be awful smelly when burnt, so be aware of that.
So, overall, a nice strain from Ethos. No male parts thru the grow, so it's stable too. As seen above, you have to be very careful with much of Ethos stuff, as hermies often show. Not sure I'd do this one again, but that's not a knock- just there's lots of others I'm interested in.
