What is the Cherry Cola strain?
Cherry Cola is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 29.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and cherry flavor profile.
Cherry Cola is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that emerged from Sonoma County, California, developed by the Sonoma County Collective as part of their mission to provide affordable medical cannabis to patients. This strain was created by crossbreeding two Afghani landrace strains - one from Kandahar province and one from Takhar province - resulting in a unique cultivar with strong indica genetics and distinctive characteristics. The strain gained recognition after competing in the 2014 L.A. Cannabis Cup, establishing its reputation in the cannabis community.
Cherry Cola is renowned for its exceptional flavor profile that truly lives up to its name, delivering sweet cherry and cola-like aromas with effervescent, fizzy qualities. The buds display dense, frosty characteristics with deep green foliage that transitions to purple hues, covered in thick trichomes and vibrant orange pistils. The strain typically grows 90-150cm tall with a sturdy main cola surrounded by thick side branches, making it both visually striking and structurally robust. The complex terpene profile features limonene for citrus notes, caryophyllene for earthy spice, and myrcene for fruity herbal characteristics.
With THC levels ranging from 20-29% and CBD content of 0.5-1%, Cherry Cola produces a well-balanced high that begins with uplifting cerebral effects and euphoric elevation, gradually transitioning into deep physical relaxation. Despite its indica dominance, users report an initially energizing and creative high that evolves into calm relaxation without heavy sedation, making it versatile for various times of day.

How do you grow Cherry Cola?
Cherry Cola is moderately challenging to grow, suitable for intermediate cultivators. Indoor flowering time is 8-10 weeks with yields of 400-600 grams per square meter. Outdoor plants can produce 450-500 grams per plant, with harvest typically in early October. Plants grow 90-150cm tall with a compact, bushy indica structure. The strain is naturally resilient to most common pests and diseases but requires regular pruning and topping. LST (Low Stress Training) and SCROG (Screen of Green) techniques are highly recommended for optimal yields. Plants thrive in controlled environments with temperatures of 68-80°F (20-27°C) and humidity of 40-60%. Well-draining soil rich in nutrients with coco coir or perlite is recommended.
