Coffin Candy is a Planta Exclusive, grown by the Los Angeles flower brand Planta from a cross of Runtz #8 and Strawberry Zkillato. It sits at the center of Planta’s candy-gas lineup.
Planta bills Coffin Candy as an award-winning strain, and it earned a spot on High Times’ “Cappetta’s Cop List.”
A Planta Exclusive out of Los Angeles
Planta works under a simple tagline: “Cultivated In Los Angeles.” The company sells premium flower and frames its mission around growing exceptional cannabis while pushing education and destigmatization.
Coffin Candy carries the Planta Exclusive tag on the brand’s own menu. Retail listings such as LAX Cannabis Club describe it as available exclusively through Planta Cannabis Co.
Planta runs a short menu of six cultivars, and three of them carry the exclusive tag. Coffin Candy is the one the brand leads with.
Runtz #8 meets Strawberry Zkillato
The Highest Critic’s 2023 review lists Coffin Candy as Strawberry Zkillato × Runtz #8, with Planta credited as grower. Planta’s own menu shortens the pairing to Runtz × Zkillato.
The #8 marks a numbered cut from the Runtz line. Strawberry Zkillato brings the Zkillato side, a name Planta also works with elsewhere on its menu.
Put together, the cross leans candy first with a layer of gas underneath. Planta describes sweet candy with hints of milk, cream and diesel. It is an easy read on where the name comes from.
What Coffin Candy looks and hits like
The Highest Critic describes the flower as frosty and very sticky, with big, dense, bulky nugs. The reviewer calls it clean-smoking, flavorful and potent, and places it high among candy-style strains on the market.
Planta classifies Coffin Candy as an indica-leaning hybrid. Its description points to a relaxing, couch-locking high, and the reviewer adds euphoria with a surprising amount of mental clarity.
The numbers back up the potency talk. One Planta batch sold through LAX Cannabis Club tested at 32.76% THC, with 33.78% total cannabinoids and 2.23% total terpenes.
The review also tags the people behind the project, crediting @freddiebigg, @dukeofdoja and @planta_ca alongside the Planta grow.
How Coffin Candy fits the rest of Planta’s menu
Planta keeps a short list of cultivars, and Coffin Candy anchors the candy side. The brand pairs Gelato 33 with Zkillato for a second Planta Exclusive built on strawberry diesel gas and sweet candy.
The rest of the lineup covers different lanes. Planta grows Sunset Sherbet × Thin Mint Cookies, South Florida OG × Gelato 41, and Gelonade, the Lemon Tree × Gelato 41 cross, as its sativa-dominant option.
Across that menu, Coffin Candy is the one Planta highlights with the award tag and the High Times feature. It is the brand’s calling card.
Coffin Candy as a parent
Planta has already put Coffin Candy back to work. The brand crossed it with RS11 to make RS11 × Coffin Candy, another Planta Exclusive.
Planta describes that cross as a candy-gas cultivar that balances sweet candy with RS11 and OZK gas. It is indica-leaning like its parent, but Planta pitches its effects as creative and energetic rather than couch-locking.
That move says a lot about how the brand sees Coffin Candy. It is not just a finished jar; it is breeding stock for the next round of Planta Exclusives.
