Growing Tips for Black Cherry OG

It takes an experienced cultivator to grow Black Cherry OG cannabis. Cannabis fans who have never grown their own plants should tread lightly, as this strain requires a lot of attention to bring it to fruition. The strain is suitable for both indoor and outdoor growing and prefers a warm, dry climate to really thrive. Whether you grow indoors or outdoors, it is recommended to use organic soil or hydroponics, and you need to provide adequate ventilation and light for optimal growth. When cultivating this strain indoors, you will need to adjust the temperature and light as well as the air circulation to mimic its natural growing environment. Creating a warm, dry climate similar to long summer conditions will ensure that your plants grow to their full potential. When growing this strain outdoors, it requires consistent temperatures and humidity to hit its peak growing capabilities. The best setting for any outdoor grow is a greenhouse, but if you don't have access to a greenhouse, you can grow this strain in a garden as long as you can provide it with the right climate to produce THC-rich buds. Black Cherry OG plants grow medium to tall, so consider that when planning your grow. It is also crucial to dial in the appropriate soil temperature. The ideal temperature for these plants is around 21–27 degrees Celsius. Humidity levels should be kept around 40–50% during the vegetative stage and maintained at 40% during the flowering stage of growth. Keeping the humidity levels below 55% will help keep mould and mildew off your plants. Utilising methods like lollipopping, supercropping, and mainlining can really benefit this grow. These methods will increase yields and remove the lowest buds to channel energy to the main colas. Black Cherry OG plants require an 18–20 hour light cycle to get them started and reach the vegetative stage of growth. You will need to change the light cycle to a 12/12 cycle to induce the flowering stage of growth and get these plants to harvest.

Yields, Flowering Time, and Harvest

• Flowering Time: Growing indoors, you can expect the Black Cherry OG strain to harvest after a flowering period of 55–65 days.
• Yields: Indoor yields are around 300 grams per square metre, while outdoor grows typically produce up to 300 grams per plant. While these yields may seem modest, the harvest is still rich in resin-coated buds and THC. This strain is grown for its effects and flavours and isn't widely known for its massive yields.
• Harvest: Outdoor growers can plan on harvesting their yields around the middle to the end of October, depending on when you planted your seeds.

Black Cherry OG: Sweet Berry Flavour

The Black Cherry OG terpene profile is directly responsible for how the plant smells and tastes, and the strong effects it has on its users. The most dominant terpene in this strain is caryophyllene, while humulene and limonene are the secondary terpenes.

• Caryophyllene: Most Dominant – One of the most common terpenes in the cannabis world, it is known for being spicy and peppery on the tongue.
• Humulene: Secondary Terpene - Typically found in cannabis and beer with high hop content, this terpene gives off an earthy and herbal scent and flavour.
• Limonene: Citrus Flavour - Common in the rinds of citrus fruits and cannabis, this terpene can lower anxiety and improve lung function.
