Purple Candy is a sweet treat with a somewhat confusing origin story. While most online sources claim BC Bud Depot created the cultivar as a cross of BC Sweet Tooth and Mendocino Purps, BC Bud Depot themselves denies this is true. The genuine breeders, reportedly, are the folks at Smoke A Lot Seeds, who combined Godzilla Grape with the offspring of Purple Wreck and OG Kush.

Purple Candy boasts fragrances and flavors true to its name, with a sugary sweet taste and a terpene profile of earthy fruit. The purple in its name refers to the brilliant violet-hued buds produced by exposing Purple Candy to lower temperatures later in its growing cycle.
