Cherry Cane
Also known as: Cherry Candy Cane
Cherry Cane Strain Overview
Cherry Cane is a hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing Cherry Pie with Candyland. This strain emerged in the early 2010s from California breeders seeking to combine the dessert-like qualities of Cherry Pie with the balanced effects of Candyland. The strain gained popularity in West Coast cannabis markets before spreading to other regions, becoming particularly noted for its distinctive flavor profile and visually appealing buds.
Cherry Cane plants produce medium-sized, dense buds that display a striking appearance with deep purple and forest green coloration, often accented by vibrant orange pistils and a generous coating of frosty trichomes. The strain's name derives from its sweet cherry aroma with subtle peppermint undertones, creating a candy cane-like sensory experience. The buds are typically compact and resinous, with a sticky texture that indicates high cannabinoid content.
Notable features include Cherry Cane's balanced genetic heritage, which provides a versatile effect profile suitable for various times of day. The strain has become a favorite among connoisseurs for its complex flavor development and reliable performance. While not as widely available as some commercial strains, Cherry Cane maintains a dedicated following in craft cannabis circles and is sometimes featured in cannabis competitions for its aesthetic qualities.

Cherry Cane Strain Growing Information
Cherry Cane is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants have a flowering time of approximately 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests typically ready in late September to early October. Indoor yields average 14-16 ounces per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 16-20 ounces per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments but thrives in controlled indoor settings where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants typically reach a medium height of 4-5 feet indoors and 5-7 feet outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining consistent temperatures (68-80°F) and moderate humidity levels, particularly during flowering to prevent mold. The plants benefit from regular pruning and training techniques like topping or LST (low-stress training) to maximize light penetration and bud development. Cherry Cane responds well to organic nutrients and requires careful monitoring of pH levels for optimal growth.
