Cherry Kush

Cherry Kush: Freshly Baked Cherry Pie

Cherry Pie cannabis seeds will eventually grow into medium to tall plants with dark green leaves that point downward. Growers recognize that this strain requires a lot of training to allow the buds to continue to grow on the narrow branches. Looking closely at the buds you can see brilliant yellow and white pistils along with a thin dusting of resinous trichomes. The leaves of this strain act as sun and light catchers providing the plants with the energy they need to grow big and strong. The harvested nuggets are bright green and orange and when broken apart release the pungent aroma of diesel or fuel. This scent is typically a marker of a really potent bud. This strain originally became popular with medicinal marijuana patients in the San Francisco area of California.

Dial in Your Growing Conditions

This strain of cannabis requires 18-20 hours of light during the vegetative stage. Switching the light cycle to 12/12 will induce flowering and help this plant reach the harvesting stage of growth.
•  Moisture control: In terms of humidity levels, you will want to maintain a relative humidity of around 50-60% throughout the vegetative stage. Keeping the humidity at around 40-50% through the flowering stage will help keep mold and mildew off of your buds.

Dominant Cannabinoids in Cherry Kush:

Cannabinoids play an important role in Cherry Kush seeds and are generally a huge part of most strains of cannabis. That happy, euphoric, and relaxed feeling you get when enjoying the Cherry Kush strain is due to its dominant cannabinoids. Each cannabinoid does something different to the user.

• THC: The Main Character – THC is the most dominant cannabinoid on the molecular level of this strain. The crystalline compound tetrahydrocannabinol is the main ingredient of cannabis. Topping out at 23%, the THC in this Indica-dominant strain is responsible for the happy and relaxed feeling you get when enjoying Cherry Kush cannabis.
• CBD: Very Minimal Amounts – While the CBD levels in Cherry Kush are less than 1%, the cannabinoid is still present, and the effects are noticeable in this strain. CBD plays a smaller role in what the strain does to the user.
