How do you grow Black Cherry Funk?
Black Cherry Funk is an indica / sativa from Clone Only Strains and can be cultivated indoors and outdoors Clone Only Strains's Black Cherry Funk is/was clone only available as feminized seeds. This strain is typically available through clones rather than seeds, making it somewhat exclusive. Growers selecting a keeper phenotype should track three targets: stable purple expression under a modest night-time temperature drop, a terpene profile that consistently breaks 1.5% in total terpenes, and medium-dense buds that resist mold. Phenotypes leaning too airy may lose bag appeal and terpene retention, whereas overly dense cuts can be botrytis-prone at higher humidity. Over a few runs, the most desirable keeper pheno commonly shows a 1.25–1.75x stretch, maintains internodal spacing tight enough for stacking, and expresses a cherry-cola aroma by week 6–7 of flower. The strain benefits from temperature drops during flowering to enhance purple coloration. Growing difficulty is considered moderate, with particular attention needed for humidity control and proper phenotype selection.
