Cherry Jam
Also known as: Cherry Jam Auto, Cherry Jam Autoflower
Cherry Jam Strain Overview
Cherry Jam is a modern indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain developed by combining genetics from Cherry Pie and an undisclosed autoflowering variety. The strain emerged in the early 2010s as breeders sought to create autoflowering versions of popular photoperiod strains. Cherry Jam is particularly noted for its relatively quick flowering time and manageable growth characteristics, making it appealing to both novice and experienced cultivators.
The strain produces medium-sized plants with dense, resinous buds that exhibit a distinctive appearance. The flowers typically display deep green coloration with occasional purple hues, complemented by vibrant orange pistils and a generous coating of trichomes. The name 'Cherry Jam' reflects both its genetic lineage from Cherry Pie and its sweet, fruity aroma profile that many users describe as reminiscent of cherry preserves.
Cherry Jam is recognized for its balanced effects that combine physical relaxation with mild cerebral stimulation. While primarily indica-dominant, the strain maintains some sativa characteristics that prevent excessive sedation for most users. Its autoflowering nature means it transitions to the flowering stage based on age rather than light cycle changes, which simplifies cultivation but typically results in smaller yields compared to photoperiod varieties of similar genetics.

Cherry Jam Strain Growing Information
Cherry Jam is considered a moderately easy strain to cultivate, particularly suited for beginners due to its autoflowering nature. The plants typically flower within 8-10 weeks from seed to harvest and can be grown successfully both indoors and outdoors. Indoor plants usually reach heights of 60-90 cm, while outdoor plants may grow slightly taller under optimal conditions. Expected yields are moderate, with indoor growers typically harvesting 350-450 grams per square meter and outdoor growers achieving 40-80 grams per plant. The strain prefers a Mediterranean-like climate when grown outdoors and responds well to low-stress training techniques. Special considerations include avoiding overwatering and providing adequate nutrients during the flowering phase, as autoflowering plants have a fixed life cycle and cannot recover from significant stress as easily as photoperiod varieties.
