Apricot Candy 3 seeds

Genetics & Origin of Apricot Candy

Apricot Candy is a California-inspired strain built on a classic, high-yielding Paradise Sativa. From the breeder's side comes the multiple award-winning Dutch Dragon, which according to Paradise Seeds carries South African and Dutch genes. The second component is Thin Mint, a potent member of the Cookie family, which the manufacturer credits for the strain's particularly lively terpene profile. The aim of the breeding was to combine the THC content and flavour intensity of typical Cali strains with even more resin and a higher yield potential; the manufacturer describes the result as stable and uniform. The genetics consist of 70% Sativa and 30% Indica, and the CBD content is below 0.1%. The seeds are feminised and photoperiod. You will also find the parent strain Dutch Dragon by Paradise Seeds in our range.

Who Is Apricot Candy For?

Apricot Candy is a vigorous Sativa hybrid with a dessert aroma. It suits:

• Experienced growers who keep stretching Sativa plants under control
• Outdoor gardeners in warm locations with a long, dry autumn
• Growers with plenty of space – outdoors the manufacturer states 300 cm
• Lovers of sweet, fruity aromas with a vanilla note
• Experienced consumers looking for a strong, clear Sativa effect

It is less suitable for beginners and for regions with an early, wet autumn, because according to the growing data harvest outdoors is not due until the end of October. You can find more strains under outdoor seeds.

Growing Apricot Candy: Indoor & Outdoor

Indoor Growing

Paradise Seeds gives the flowering time as 65 days, and elsewhere as nine weeks. The height indoors is put at 100 cm, the yield at about 550 g/m². The Sativa share means that the plants like to stretch – if you have little room height, you have to slow them down in good time, for example by tying them down or using a net. At the same time, the Indica heritage shows in horizontal growth and thick, swollen flowers on a solid framework of branches. In the course of flowering, according to the manufacturer, the foliage turns red, purple and blue. Paradise Seeds calls the level of difficulty “medium”. You will find the basics on training in the Growpedia.

Outdoor Growing

Outdoors, according to the manufacturer, the plants grow almost into trees: the data sheet states 300 cm, and in a Mediterranean climate they put on height and width vigorously. In northern regions growth is weaker. The strain is suitable between 50 degrees north and south latitude. There are two figures for harvest: mid-October in the data sheet, end of October in the growing data – to be on the safe side, plan for the later date. The yield is up to 1,000 g per plant. Only grow where it is legal to do so.

Effect, Aroma & Terpenes of Apricot Candy

According to Paradise Seeds, the terpene profile of Apricot Candy is dominated by caryophyllene; the manufacturer does not state further terpenes or lab values. In the grow room, notes of apple, fresh figs and apricot unfold, sweet and fruity like a freshly baked fruit tart. On the palate vanilla is added, and the breeder describes the flavour as silky smooth. According to the manufacturer, the effect sets in almost immediately and brings a burst of energy: a strongly uplifting but clear Sativa effect that lasts about half an hour and then turns into a more relaxed state of mind and body. For the THC content, the data sheet shows 18.22%, while at least 20% is stated elsewhere; Paradise Seeds expressly warns inexperienced consumers about the potency. How intense the effect is depends on dose and individual tolerance.
