Overview
IWith two such renowned strains as parents, it’s no wonder the Cherry Kush strain is as popular as it is today. Cherry Kush is also sometimes known as Cherry Pie, due to its pleasing color and delicious flavor. This genetic cross is where potency meets flavour and creates something beautiful. Connoisseurs should stand up and take note, Cherry Kush comes highly recommended.
Strain Effects
The smoke and flavour are the definite highlights of this strain. The initial sweet and sour cherry taste is backed up with hashy, earthy undertones. If you’re looking for a strain you can really enjoy smoking but can also help you relax or help manage chronic pain, then this is the strain for you. The high is fast acting, starting off cerebral with uplifting and euphoric effects. It then slowly ebbs nicely into a deep, heavy, sedative stone. So, too many tokes and you may just find yourself stuck to the couch. Therefore, we’d say this strain is best suited for evening and night time use because of its strong indica effects.
Growing info
The average grower will easily get a decent yield of 300-400 g/m2 at harvest time. Cherry Kush is the perfect strain for SOG or SCROG setups and will yield up to 600 g/m2 at optimum levels. You can expect much more at harvest time if you are growing outdoors. The flowering time for Cherry Kush is between 8-10 weeks. Buds are big and dense, becoming absolutely covered in THC when given the full 10-week flower time, increasing its strength significantly. This strain is very robust making it easy to grow. A beginner could successfully harvest a generous yield from this strain if they are serious about their plant care. With a medium height between 100-180cm, some training may be needed for indoor cannabis grows. Cherry Kush can produce up to 23% THC and is an indica dominant strain just like it’s parents.
Appearance and Aroma
It is a 75% Indica and 25% Sativa hybrid which grows in your typical indica tree shape, with a large central cola and wide, dark fan leaves. She's a beautiful looking specimen, with nugs turning a vibrant green and pink, giving excellent bag appeal. Those looking for a strain that has potency, flavour and beauty will find it all in the Cherry Kush strain.
MSNL Editors Verdict
If you are a Kush fan but sometimes feel the flavour needs that little something extra this is definitely the strain for you. The additional sweet cherry taste only enhances what is a great tasting strain. The strength is there by the bucket and the yields are very pleasing, what else could you ask for?
THC CONTENT | 15%-18% | |
FLOWERING TIME | 8-10 WEEKS | |
TYPE / OUTDOOR | INDOOR/OUTDOOR | |
OUTDOOR HARVEST | EARLY OCTOBER | |
PLANT HEIGHT | MEDIUM 100cm-180cm | |
YIELD | 300-400 g/m2 |
A distinctive Kush pepper and spice aroma is well matched by the sweet cherry smell. This sweetness carries through well in to the smoke leaving a lovely fruity taste on the tongue and in the back of the throat. A mostly body buzz prevails with a slight headstone if you overindulge.

"Very Nice!"
Review by Fardoche
Recieved free seeds, germinated overnight.
Grew fast and thick buds. Notes of cherry and the smell is just awsome and they still have some cure to go.(Posted on 06/06/2020)

"WOW"
Review by Jeremy
I got 3 Cherry Kush as freebies, just harvested the first plant, it was planted outside and did great. I got 12 ounces dry weight almost 100% dense nugs . The smoke is awesome smells and taste like sour cherries, its more on the smell side. MSNL does it again, they are making hard for me to try any other seed bank !!

"strong cherry smell"
Review by Olive
I find the smell of cherry to be bolder than the taste with this strain, but the spiciness in the taste makes up for that - and it hits your nose, too. So potent though. What a potent, potent strain!

"Good strain "
Review by Travis
Got her from clone but it's a good strain to grow! The smoke is a sweet and sour with a hint of spice peppery to a sense but a good one for the collector's!!!

"Wait for it"
Review by Donnie
I really expected a strong cherry taste but was surprised when it was more earthy. For those looking for the same thing, you just have to wait a bit. That sweet fruity taste comes a minute or two later.

"Problems "
Review by Ziggy
Only one out of 10 germinated and that one was a male or hermaphrodite..I believe they had problems with this strain because it has been out of stock a long time...
