Cherry 18
Also known as: Cherry Kiss, Cherry #18
What is the Cherry 18 strain?
Cherry 18 is a hybrid cannabis strain, known for its relaxed effects and cherry and citrus flavor profile.
Cherry 18 is an indica-dominant hybrid strain developed by Crockett Family Farms in collaboration with DNA Genetics, created from a cross between Cherry Pie and The OG 18 (a selection of OG Kush). This strain was bred by Crockett, a master breeder who also created the legendary Tangie strain and is known for his rare skill in developing award-winning cannabis genetics. The strain presents as a 75/25 indica-sativa hybrid with feminized seeds available.
The strain is characterized by its complex genetic lineage that combines the sweet, bakery-like qualities of Cherry Pie with the potent, fuel-like characteristics of The OG 18. Cherry 18 features an intense fruity aroma with exotic fuel notes, producing hearty, dense buds with a heavy-hitting high. The terpene profile creates those sweet bakery smells from the Cherry Pie parent and the funky tang from the OG #18, fusing into a sweet and sour overload of taste. This strain is particularly prized by extraction artists due to its over-the-top resin production that coats the flower tops from early in development.
