The Cherry Kush strain may be known for its vibrant and peppy vibes, but as a balanced hybrid, provides a sense of groundedness as well. The offspring of parent strains Purple Afghani and OG Kush, its head-turning fragrance and flavour are known for captivating cannabis fans across Canada.

This strain also tends to attract praise thanks to its 70:30 indica-to-sativa ratio and 23% THC levels, which together, offer a vibrant and imaginative smoking experience. Factor in this strain's dynamic terpene profile and pop of cherry flavour, and it's easy to see why so many growers consider Cherry Kush seeds a coveted addition to their cannabis seed collections.

Growing Tips for Cherry Kush Seeds

Cherry Kush is an easy-to-grow strain, which makes it a good choice for beginners as well as more experienced growers who would like to refine their techniques.

Dial In Your Growing Conditions

Temperature: The Cherry Kush strain thrives in growing environments with stable temperatures of 70-85 degrees Fahrenheit or 21-29 degrees Celsius.

Humidity: During the flowering period, growers are encouraged to grow their plants in an environment with humidity levels of about 40-50%. These conditions will help your plants flourish thanks to reduced risk of mould and improved resin production.

Light Exposure: Indoor growers are encouraged to provide their Cherry Kush plants with 12-14 hours of light per day during vegetative growth and 10-12 hours per day during the flowering stage. Outdoor growers across Canada will find that warm, sunny growing seasons with consistently mild temperatures are especially beneficial for Cherry Kush plants.

Dominant Terpenes in the Cherry Kush Strain

Cherry Kush has a unique and multifaceted terpene profile dominated by caryophyllene, limonene, and myrcene. Together, they create an aroma and flavour many fans describe as similar to sweet cherries and diesel fuel--rounded out with subtle notes of earthiness and pepper.

Dominant Cannabinoids in the Cherry Kush Strain

The Cherry Kush strain has powerful THC levels of up to 23%. As the dominant cannabinoid in this hybrid, the THC content creates an imaginative and psychoactive experience defined by its creative energy, knack for elevating mood, and ability to enhance sensory perceptions such as sight and sound. The cannabinoid profile is boosted by a process known as the entourage effect, in which a strain's various elements, such as cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids—work better together than they do alone, creating a stronger or more balanced effect than any one ingredient could, and a high that is greater than the sum of its parts.
