How long does it take for candy to reach hard crack?

I made watermelon peanuts this year and went to look this up, but no website had this info. So I thought I would post this. I am in Utah so your elevation might affect this. It also depends on what temperature your stove is at, as different stoves have slightly different temperatures, and the room temperature. For me on medium (5) on an induction stove by Whirlpool with a room temp of 76 Fahrenheit 24 celsius, it took 37 minuets to reach 300F 148C hard crack stage. Hope this helps.
