Reserva Privada Kandy Kush review?

Anyone grown kandy kush by RP? How was it?

I have done the clone only and its wonderful and everyone loves the citrus notes with the train sweetness, bag appeal is very good.

How was your yield??

Not huge, but good. Worth the quality, popularity to run as a regular, you will like the smoke and it is easy to get rid of if done average to above average.

Yeah Kandi is in some ways awesome, in some ways frustrating, but everyone LOVES it.
The good:

• that taste, that smell. It's got this awesome sweet smell that can only be described as fruity -- only way more like real fruit than most 'fruity' smells. It actually smells a little like fermenting booze -- but in a good way.
• The look -- awesome bag appeal. it flowers to 'chunky' instead of producing big long colas. For some reason they remind me of popcorn balls -- you remember, you'd get 'em for halloween sometimes from lame houses that didn't give out real candy? Well they're kinda shaped like. The look overall is fairly distinctive and pretty pleasing. And depending on conditions you may get the purple tint to come out. If you want heavy purple (heavy for Kandi -- it's not GDP) you gotta get her cold.
• The effect is solid -- honestly nothing special you couldn't get from other hybrid strains. My girl uses it for pain relief -- she says all the Kush strains work better than opiates. I think she's exaggerating, but still Kandi's sativa genetics come from Trainwreck (Humboldt, FTW!) and that's not a real spacey, head in the clouds, look at rainbows kinda sativa. That may explain why it has such a 'narcotic' (her words) effect.

The bad:

• The yield is mediocre. Not going set any gram/watt records. Not the lowest yielder I've ever seen, but I think it's the lowest yielder I've ever grown regularly.
• Not a quick finish. It's around a 65-day finish indoor -- maybe even a little more depending on how you like it. I feel like a wuss for whining about that -- I'm old enough to remember when 65 day weed would be called a miracle -- but you know we get spoiled, and the 9th week just seems to drag forever

FWIW, Kandi is in my regular mix. If it's for your head, it's worth doing just for the taste and the smell. If it's for sale, it's worth charging a little bit more because of the low yield and time to maturity. The taste makes sure people will be happy to pay.

I would say that I'd have to agree with all said above.

im in the middle of harvesting 5 kandykush, 1 of them was a beast got about 6 zips off of it,and the taste is awesome like everybody says sweet

I grew 3 fems outdoors last year. They were awesome, and huge yielders. Just like OG in appeal(smell, taste, effects) except with trainwreck growth(big arm like colas, and great yields). But I didn't run it indoors so could be different in there. But definitely a great strain.

While I was at last years HTCC I found myself smoking loads of the Kandy kush which was being sold at the Greenhouse Lounge and after a quick lil word with Franco I found out it was ResP's version just put on the coffeeshop menu as Candy Kush lolol not saying a thing lolol (It wasn' being entered so keep ya hair on)
So with that I went to the DNA/ResP stall and after a little chat with Aaron I picked up a few beans and a couple freebies! Thankyou sir!
I grew out 4 Kandy's alongside the Skywalker OG by Res P and personally I preferred the Skywalker OG taste (not by much) n growth but loved the Kandy's High and looks...
I've done a few of ResP's strains and all are legit!

The Kandy was still a high yielder as far as Kush's go and you can see the Trainwreck in it. I will no doubt grow both again!

Peace
