Cherry Chew
Cherry Chew Strain Overview
Cherry Chew is a relatively rare cannabis hybrid strain that combines genetics from Cherry Pie and an unknown Afghani landrace strain. The strain first emerged in the early 2010s from California breeders seeking to create a flavorful, balanced hybrid with therapeutic potential. While not as widely documented as its parent Cherry Pie, Cherry Chew has developed a niche following among connoisseurs who appreciate its unique terpene profile and balanced effects.
The strain's appearance is characterized by dense, conical buds with a forest green coloration accented by vibrant orange pistils. A generous coating of trichomes gives the flowers a frosty appearance, while the leaves often display subtle purple hues when grown in cooler temperatures. The buds are typically medium to large in size and have a dense, resinous structure that breaks apart easily.
Cherry Chew is particularly noted for its complex aromatic profile that combines sweet, fruity notes with earthy undertones. The strain's name reflects its distinctive cherry-like flavor that emerges upon consumption, complemented by subtle herbal and spicy notes on the exhale. While not one of the most commercially widespread strains, Cherry Chew has maintained a consistent presence in certain regional markets and among home growers who value its unique characteristics.

Cherry Chew Strain Growing Information
Cherry Chew is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors and are ready for outdoor harvest 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 adapts well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation, though it thrives in controlled indoor environments where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants tend to remain medium in height, usually reaching 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Cherry Chew responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield and light penetration.
Special considerations include maintaining stable temperatures during flowering (68-78°F or 20-26°C) and careful monitoring for mold in dense bud structures. The plants benefit from proper nutrient management, particularly during the flowering phase when they develop their distinctive aroma and resin production. Adequate airflow is essential to prevent moisture-related issues in the dense colas.
