The Cherry Kush Strain: A Refreshing, Indica-Dominant Hybrid
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.
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. Cultivators of this strain will find that its balanced lineage makes it adaptable to a variety of growing environments, both indoors and outside.
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.

Flowering Times and Yields
Cherry Kush has a fairly short flowering period of 56-66 days indoors, and with proper care, will produce yields of about 16 ounces per square meter. Outdoor growers can anticipate plants that are ready for harvest by early October, with yields of 18 resinous ounces per plant.
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.

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.

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!!

I would totally recommend smoking Cherry Kush at parties or social gatherings, it really enhances the whole experience.

A deeply relaxing hyrbid….one I usually reserve for the evening. I find it drifts indica 1-2 hours into the high. Great for watching a movie and passing out hardcore….helps me with sleep…basically eliminated my anxiety and insomnia. Weed is medicine, and Pacific seeds knows what I need. I trust this compant with ALL my pot seeds, especially since their prices are so affordbale!

I just finished harvesting approx. 500 G of bud from my cherry kush plant. Toom me *most* of the summer to grow (about 3.5 months) and an additional 3 weeks to reach 100% germination, but OH so worth it, especially if you have the time to give your plants extra love and attention! Purchasing 10 seeds was the right amount for me, and the yields have been spectacular. Dense, sticky, trichome-laden nugs with a mossy texture and exceptional smokeability. Don’t I sound like a pro???

Cherry kush is perfect for parties! I love growing this weed and sharing it with my friends. I have gotten an excellent yield from working with Pacific seeds. They source from the best Northern Cali farms and are great for growing right at home. Lovely fresh aroma, delicious tight and sticky nugs. This is one growing opportunity you don’t want to miss!

Nothing makes me want to go out and party quite like cherry kush. It’s a fresh, earthy, woodsy strain that tastes a lot like cherry and delicious bark. I am thrilled to have this nug in my life. It generally helps me relax, unwind, and gives me the mental energy/creativity boost that I so desperately need! Vibes all around when you grow MJ with Pacific! Happy Halloween!!

So woodsy and earthy. Yummmmm. This weed is great after work and after dark. The sweet and dank nugs are some of the freshest I have ever smoked. It’s truly a gem. Hard to find elsewhere!

As I write this, I am surrounded by beautiful gray clouds of cherry kush. Yes, I am stoned writing this weed review. And let me tell you, there’s nothing more satisfying that smoking your own pot. It keeps me highly connected to the world, to my own plants. To my own desires!

One of the easier grows for new growers out there, cherry flavor like the medicine you get at the doctor’s office. Highly relaxing and uplifting and even very social!

Good for all you social butterflies out there, makes for a sweet buzz, great for riding around town in your car or bike, or even walking the dog. Real nice to have this weed in my life, I think you’ll enjoy it too even if it’s a little bit of a longer grow (took almost 5 months for my flowers to emerge) so just be patient and have fun kids 🙂

This may be an indica strain but it tends towards being giddy and sociable. The taste is deep and woodsy with a hint of cherry flavor making this a truly relaxing smoking experience. Buying weed online is both easy and fun, with a HUGE selection to choose from. My yield was nearly 10 oz of pot, NICE looking flower, the size of my hand!
