Cherry Fume
Also known as: Cherry Fume OG
Cherry Fume Strain Overview
Cherry Fume is a modern hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the late 2010s, gaining popularity in the West Coast cannabis scene. The strain was developed by crossing two notable parent strains, creating a balanced genetic profile that combines desirable traits from both indica and sativa lineages. Breeders aimed to create a strain with distinctive aromatic qualities and reliable effects, resulting in a cultivar that has become appreciated by both recreational users and medical cannabis patients.
The strain's name derives from its prominent cherry-like aroma combined with a distinctive 'fume' or fuel-like undertone. Cherry Fume typically produces dense, resinous buds with a complex color palette ranging from deep forest green to purple hues, often accented by vibrant orange pistils. The trichome coverage is usually generous, giving the buds a frosty appearance that indicates its potency. The strain's terpene profile creates a unique sensory experience that has contributed to its growing reputation among cannabis connoisseurs.
Cherry Fume is known for its balanced effects that begin with cerebral stimulation before transitioning to physical relaxation. The strain has gained particular attention for its flavor profile and consistent performance, though it remains less widely documented than some mainstream commercial strains. As with many modern hybrids, exact genetic details may vary between different breeders' interpretations of the strain.

Cherry Fume Strain Growing Information
Cherry Fume is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are moderate to high, averaging 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to reach medium height (100-150 cm indoors, 150-200 cm outdoors) and benefit from training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield. Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control during flowering to prevent mold and providing adequate support for the dense buds.
