The flowers of this strain are small and dense, as might be expected from the dominant variety in the Indica genes. The leaves are most often covered in red and purple colors. The purple color is caused by a high concentration of pigment called anthocyanin.

Also known as Cotton Candy Kush, this strain is the dominant hybrid in the Indica genes, although the exact ratio of Sativa to Indica genes is not widely known. Cotton Candy is a complex mixture of varieties – Power Plant from South Africa and Lavender from Amsterdam, which is a mixture of Skunk, Afghani, and Hawaiian strains.
The concentration of THC in the Cotton Candy variety is relatively high, in some cases it reaches even 22%, and CBD is much less visible. Cannabidiol (CBD) accounts for less than 1% in this strain, which means that it should not be used to treat diseases that respond to CBD, such as epilepsy.
