Cherry Cheesecake
Cherry Cheesecake
Also known as: Cherry Cheese Cake
Overview
Cherry Cheesecake is an indica-dominant hybrid (70% indica/30% sativa) cannabis strain created by crossing Kimbo Kush and Cherry Pie. This exceptional cultivar was popularized by Gold Seal of San Francisco and has gained recognition for its dessert-like flavor profile and potent effects. The strain represents a carefully crafted balance of its parent genetics, with Kimbo Kush contributing its fruity aroma and potent effects, while Cherry Pie brings legendary genetics from GDP and Durban Poison lineage. Cherry Cheesecake embodies the classic characteristics of premium indoor cultivation, harking back to the medical cannabis era of California's Prop 215 market.
Visually, Cherry Cheesecake presents dense, spade-shaped buds with a deep forest green base color adorned with deep amber hairs that provide striking contrast. The buds are generously coated with tiny golden amber crystal trichomes, giving them a shimmering, frosty appearance that hints at their potency. Subtle hues of purple and orange complement the predominant green, creating a complex and eye-catching color palette. The interplay of these colors, combined with vibrant orange pistils threading through the frosty trichome layer, results in an aesthetically appealing and premium-looking flower that captures the attention of cannabis connoisseurs.

Growing Information
Cherry Cheesecake thrives in both indoor and outdoor cultivation environments, with a preference for warm, sunny Mediterranean-style climates. The strain has a relatively easy to moderate growing difficulty, making it suitable for cultivators with some experience. Flowering time is 8-9 weeks, which is considered quick for the quality produced. Indoor plants reach manageable heights of 30-60 inches (2-5 feet), making them ideal for smaller growing spaces while still delivering impressive yields of up to 400 grams per square meter. Outdoor cultivation can produce up to 550 grams per plant with heights remaining between 30-60 inches. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to develop bushier plants and increase yields. Optimal growing conditions include nutrient-rich soil, consistent temperatures between 70-80°F during light cycles, and proper ventilation to prevent mold and pest issues.
