Black Cherry Honey
Also known as: Black Cherry Honey OG, BCH
What is the Black Cherry Honey strain?
Black Cherry Honey is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and cherry flavor profile.
Black Cherry Honey is a hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing Black Cherry OG with Honey Boo Boo. This strain emerged in the early 2010s from the Pacific Northwest region of the United States, where breeders sought to combine the potent effects of Black Cherry OG with the sweet, fruity characteristics of Honey Boo Boo. The resulting cultivar has gained popularity among both recreational users and medical patients for its balanced effects and distinctive flavor profile.
The strain typically produces medium to large-sized buds with a dense, indica-dominant structure. The flowers display a striking appearance with deep purple and dark green hues, often accented by vibrant orange pistils. A thick coating of trichomes gives the buds a frosty, crystalline appearance. The leaves may exhibit purple coloration, particularly when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. The strain's name derives from its distinctive aroma and flavor profile, which combines sweet cherry notes with honey-like undertones.
Black Cherry Honey is known for its relatively fast flowering time and moderate growth difficulty, making it accessible to intermediate growers. The plant tends to develop a bushy structure with strong lateral branching, requiring some training to maximize light penetration and air circulation. While specific genetic testing data is limited, user reports and breeder descriptions consistently highlight the strain's unique combination of relaxing physical effects and uplifting cerebral sensations.

How do you grow Black Cherry Honey?
Black Cherry Honey is considered moderately difficult to grow, suitable for intermediate cultivators. The strain has a flowering time of 8-9 weeks indoors and is ready for harvest in late September to early October outdoors. Indoor yields typically range from 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant. The plant prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with moderate humidity and temperatures between 68-80°F (20-27°C). It can be grown both indoors and outdoors, though indoor cultivation allows better control over environmental factors. Plants typically reach 3-5 feet (90-150 cm) indoors and 5-7 feet (150-210 cm) outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining proper air circulation to prevent mold, implementing training techniques like topping or low-stress training to manage the bushy growth, and monitoring nutrient levels as the plant can be sensitive to overfeeding. The strain responds well to organic growing methods and may exhibit enhanced purple coloration when exposed to cooler nighttime temperatures during the final weeks of flowering.
