The Strawberry Candy aka Straw Candy was grown by a friend of mine. I asked him recently if he ever smoked any of his own product and he said, Yes, he smoked some, but not much.

It’s been years since I tried to grow but having experienced the thrill of planting seeds, getting them to grow, sexing sprouted plants, and trying to get something useful out of that seed, I understand what my friend was saying when he said it wasn’t about smoking what he grew. It was about being able to do it, from seed to bag.

We were out at a conservation area in Missouri, foraging for paw paws. He brought a telescoping handle with a roller brush attachment on the top. That’s what we used to knock down the paw paw. We harvested a bundle.

Back at his car he opened his trunk and I caught a whiff of something familiar and pleasant. But I didn’t even realize my friend smoked. He handed be a grocery bag and said, “Take that.” Which I did. Until I got home I wasn’t sure exactly what was in it. The Straw Candy alone weighted out to 7.7 grams. Whoa! Thank you so much. There were also two eighths of Shiskaberry, numbers 1 and 2. Number 1 was better than 2, but the Straw Candy was the best of the three.

The buds were sticky. They were the real deal. Trimmed and chiseled. As nice as anything you will get over the counter.

The Straw Candy lineage is rich. The seeds were from Bloom Seed Co. Link to the lineage chart here.

It’s Orange Zkittlez x Strawberry Guava.

The Orange Zkittlez side of the tree alone is a trip. Original Z and Agent Orange on one side, then Jack the Ripper on the other side which brings in Jack Herer, C-99, Romulan, Purple Haze, and Lambsbread among others.

The Strawberry Guava brings in Ghost OG, Bubblegum, KC 33, and Afghani.
