BlackCherry Punch
Also known as: Black Cherry Punch, BCP
BlackCherry Punch Strain Overview
BlackCherry Punch is a hybrid cannabis strain developed by In House Genetics that combines the genetics of Purple Punch and Black Cherry Pie. This strain emerged in the late 2010s as part of the growing trend toward dessert-flavored cannabis varieties with complex terpene profiles. It has gained popularity in both recreational and medical cannabis markets 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 and a generous coating of trichomes. The coloration becomes more pronounced as the plants mature, particularly when exposed to cooler temperatures during the flowering phase. The buds are known for their resinous quality and sticky texture.
BlackCherry Punch is recognized for its unique aromatic profile that combines fruity, sweet, and earthy notes. The strain's name accurately reflects its dominant flavor characteristics, which users describe as reminiscent of dark cherries with undertones of berries and grapes. This flavor complexity results from its carefully selected parent genetics and has contributed to its reputation as a connoisseur strain among cannabis enthusiasts.

BlackCherry Punch Strain Growing Information
BlackCherry Punch is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants have a flowering time of approximately 8-9 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests typically ready in late September to early October. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments, though it thrives in controlled indoor settings where temperature can be managed to enhance coloration. Plants typically reach a medium height of 100-150 cm indoors, with outdoor specimens potentially growing taller. BlackCherry Punch responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yields. Growers should monitor humidity levels carefully during flowering to prevent mold, as the dense buds can be susceptible to moisture-related issues. The plants benefit from a balanced nutrient regimen and appreciate a slight temperature drop during the final weeks of flowering to encourage purple pigmentation.
