Quick answer
Cotton Candy is the Blueberry x Power Plant dessert hybrid - carnival-sweet flavour at 26-29% THC. Happy, euphoric and creative first, then a slow dreamy body settle.
A 26-percent strain that doesn't behave like one. The carnival flavour is real, the high starts chatty and creative, and the Power Plant in its veins keeps it functional way longer than any indica has a right to. Great pick when the group can't agree on sativa or indica.

The story of Cotton Candy
Cotton Candy is the sweet-tooth indica that proved dessert strains could carry serious potency - a Blueberry x Power Plant cross (commonly credited to French breeder students in the early 2000s) that crossed the fruit-forward Blueberry with a legendary South African sativa landrace. The pairing produced something unusual: candy-shop flavour and carnival colours on a 26 to 29 percent THC chassis. It won over European growers first, then spread worldwide as one of the original fruity heavyweights.

Cotton Candy's dominant terp is Limonene, and it leads the flavour on every inhale.
Growing Cotton Candy
A fast 8 week flower (about 58 days) with the Power Plant side showing in its vigour: strong lateral branching, generous yields, and forgiving manners - rare for a 26-percent-plus strain. Colas are chunky and sugar-frosted, with purple creeping in late. A genuinely good grow for beginners chasing bag appeal.
How to consume Cotton Candy
A sneaky hybrid: happy, euphoric and creative at first at 26 to 29 percent THC, with the 70-percent indica side arriving as a slow body settle. Functional early, dreamy late. Best from late afternoon onward; the creative window makes it a favourite for music and art sessions.
Cotton Candy vs similar strains
Against parent Blue Cheesecake-adjacent Blueberry lines, it is stronger and more euphoric. Versus Wedding Cake, it trades vanilla richness for carnival fruit. Jealousy matches the potency with modern Cookies gas, Purple Punch is the heavier sedative cousin, and Grape Ape covers the fruity-indica lane at gentler strength.
