About Cotton Candy
Federation Seed Company's take on this hybrid leans hard into its chemistry rather than a documented parentage, with lab sheets showing THC climbing anywhere from 22 to 28 percent depending on the pheno and the run. That's a wide enough spread that two jars from the same seed line can smell and hit noticeably differently. The terpene sheet backs that variability up: myrcene and linalool sit alongside caryophyllene, humulene, pinene, caryophyllene oxide, and limonene, a crowded lineup that points toward a dense, resinous chemotype rather than one dominant aromatic note. No lineage record survives for this one, so growers and buyers are left to judge it by the numbers on the label and whatever the trichomes tell them. For a cultivar sold mostly on its potency ceiling, that's not necessarily a weakness — it just means every batch is its own small experiment.
