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 flavor are known for captivating cannabis fans.
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 flavor, and it’s easy to see why so many growers consider Cherry Kush seeds a coveted addition to their marijuana seed collections.

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 mold and improved resin production.
Light Exposure: Indoor growers are encouraged to 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 will find that sunny, Mediterranean-like climates 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 flavor 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.
I planted these seeds and they sprouted like champs! The germination rate was top-notch and I couldn’t be happier. I can’t wait to see these grow into beautiful plants.
I am blown away by the quality of these cannabis seeds! The germination rate was excellent, and the plants grew strong and healthy. I have never had such a successful harvest before.
The feminized cannabis seeds I received were of exceptional quality. The germination rate was impressive, and the plants grew strong and healthy.
Wow, the aroma of these buds is intoxicating! The seeds produced such fragrant flowers – I’m in love!
You’ve never tasted freshness quite like this…cherry kush is high quality with an earthy fresh flavor….it gives me a great energy, but mostly helps me chill out. I am thankful for all the great growing advice, especially on the blogs…and when I called customer service, they knew a thing or two as well. It’s easier than ever to have MJ seeds delivered to your door, and you can expect quality when you shop Pacific seed bank.
Don’t even think about sitting alone and chilling with this one because Cherry Kush is best enjoyed with others. Why? It’s going to make you a regular chatty Cathy LOL You’re going to talk and socialize with everybody around you and with fits of giggles, everybody’s gonna wanna be around you for a good time!!
I like this classic strain and don’t need any fancy equipment to grow it. It’s gone pretty well so far. The plants are about 3′ tall and have beautiful green sun branches on them. It was a pretty cool thing to watch my seeds germinate….and then finally to watch them grow. It’s a slow process and it does require a bit of work, but overall not so bad. I am just an average gardener, but that doesn’t mean I don’t have a passion for weed!!
Full germination, great plants. And the effects? They were just what I needed – stress melted away and my worries disappeared. And the taste? Oh, it was so sweet and delicious, just like cherries! I would totally recommend smoking Cherry Kush at parties or social gatherings, it really enhances the whole experience.
Regulates my appetite and generally puts me in a relaxing headspace. Good purchase, just wish it could have lasted longer!
